how to use drag and drop list view

[jamie]

i am trying to get this wonderful drag and drop interface working elsewhere in Espo, but just can't seem to get it

Any help?

[victor]

That's it.

[jamie]

That's it.

Oh, you are so hilarious, I don't mean how to use the drag and drop, I mean how do I use it as a display option elsewhere, for example, for a list of parts

[victor]

There is no such possibility. This is Sales Pack and is not available in open source. And it is difficult to implement.

[jamie]

by adding the below I have gotten it to not crash out, though it completely ignores the view file and uses a table instead, and i feel if it use the view it's meant to i'd have the drag and drop

addition custom/Espo/Custom/Entities/System.php

public function loadItemListField(): void
{
} 

addition to the custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/System.json

"systemComponents": {
"type": "jsonArray",
"notStorable": false,
"layoutAvailabilityList": [],
"dynamicLogicVisibleDisabled": false,
"dynamicLogicInvalidDisabled": false,
"view": "sales:views/quote/fields/item-list",
"templatePlaceholderDisabled": false,
"reportDisabled": false,
"workflowDisabled": false,
"massUpdateDisabled": false,
"duplicatorClassName": "Espo\\Modules\\Sales\\Classes\\FieldDuplicato rs\\ Quote\\ItemList",
"loaderClassName": "Espo\\Modules\\Sales\\Classes\\FieldLoaders\\ Quot e\\ItemListLoader"
},​

victor that is a massive shame would be great to have more modern display and edit options

There are quite a lot tutorials in the web how to implement such function. Just have a look and once you found a solution feel free to post it here.

But Victor just told me it can't be done? I've been trying to do it via configs for a while with very limited success; it does seem like a major failing of the display options, considering it's been available for nearly 20 years. If there is a way to do it, I'd love to know

> it does seem like a major failing of the display options

What do you mean by that?

[yuri]

Avoiding wording like 'massive shame' or 'major failing' would help preserve the forum as the place where users can get help. As it's been for years.

yuri, Hey, just to clarify — this isn’t meant as an attack on you or on Espo, which I think is fantastic! As a South African-born web developer with far too many years of experience, it’s simply the way I express my thoughts, so please don’t take it personally.

Could you please let me know if it’s possible to use that display option elsewhere? There are plenty of places where it would be the perfect choice.

[yuri]

As Victor said, it's not a generic solution. It's a complex view designed specifically for Sales Pack for entities like Quote, Invoice and Sales Order. There are a lot of non-generic internal logic specific for Sales Pack there. There's much more to it than just a method of presenting data. For example, the order would require a designated field. There are validations, calculations.

There's a 3rd party extension by Ebla soft that does what you need.

Such a feature (or similar) may be eventually developed, but not very soon. It's quite a complex task when we want it to be generic and extensible.

[jamie]

Yeah, my attempts to modify the sales back example failed with limited success

An existing extension sounds great. Do you happen to know the name, or maybe Eblasoft would care to comment?

thanks

[yuri]

This one https://docs.eblasoft.com.tr/espocrm...-multiple-pro/

[jamie]

yuri i am not seeing any drag and drop functionality on that but perhaps Eblasoft can clear up the matter?

As far as I know, Link Multiple Pro does not have such function.
