Healing Assigns – Drag and Drop Reordering

One of the things that annoyed me about my Healing Assigns site (found here: http://healassigns.upyursh.com ) was the reordering of instances, fights, phases and assigns where all done one at a time but click the up and down arrow.

Well that has been solved. I did some work yesterday on a drag and drop feature, so now instances, fights and assigns (within a phase) can be reordered.

This will make setting up your assigns a lot faster and shed loads easier ;) I will continue to work on ways to make the site easier to use :)

    hey uppy.

    I've been playing with the raw wow API for UIs and it's really not crazy nasty. Honestly think it would be just as easy ignoring AceGUI-3.0 and coding raw. Need to just sit down and work out what's easy to do and what's not.

    * Drag/drop is pretty damn easy with frames - you need to do a little back end logic for the result of the drop but it's pretty easy
    * Fixed height vertical scrolling (ie. you scroll one row at a time) is also damn easy - using fake scrolling with a slider is easy
    * Pixel scrolling with a ScrollFrame isn't too bad, but it gets messy because of the way it's implemented by the wow API (ie. it converts the scrollframe to a bitmap and then applies it the target frame (viewport) via Texture:SetTexCoord() trick. So somethings look screwy as you scroll.
    * Buttons are easy but you just need to make the bitmaps if you want speccy buttons.

    I'm pretty comfortable with the rest of it, so I'll catch up with you and sketch out the way to turn this into something we can use. However, not likely to get a chance to implement it for another 2 weeks. All my spare time after work, wife, kids, exercising and raiding is going into BubbleHUD. It's starting to shape up.
