reparenting after overloading folderDrop on treegrid

[brucevanhorn2]

I'm working with the treegrid and I need it to write back to my server (mine, not the smartclient server) any re-orgs done when the user drags nodes around the tree.

When I specify the folderDrop function I can capture all the information I need but the dragged item no longer automatically moves.

The only example I can find pertains to dataset bound treegrids, which this is not.

I've tried just setting the parent id field to the new value but no dice.

So how can I get it to reparent like it does BEFORE I override the event handler?

reparenting

I figured it out. Here it is for posterity:

folderDrop: function (dragRecords, dropFolder, index, sourceWidget) {
var record=unitTree.getSelectedRecord();
console.log(record.SysId + " will now go to " + dropFolder.SysId);
var newUnit=dropFolder.SysId;
var newRecord=record;
newRecord.ReportsTo=newUnit;
unitTree.removeData(record);
unitTree.data.addList([newRecord],dropFolder, index);
}

Basically I have a list of military units in a hierarchy and want to be able to shift them around. unitTree is the ID of the tree grid.

In this case SysId is the unique ID for my nodes. Basically I delete the old record, then insert a copy with the updated information in the new location.

The console.log line is just there to see the information I wanted. I use firebug for my javascript development and console.log is used by that tool. If you don't use firebug inside firefox, console.log will throw an error.

Of course given I can log the info its no problem to create something to post back to my database with the node parent.

If there's a better faster way, I'm all ears.

Call Super in folderDrop(), then you can delete all that code.
