Is drag and drop of Google gadgets is possible in Shindig project(with out
using other tools like jQuery)?

Re: How to

Can u please explain your query a bit in detail?

If you mean you want to include Drag and Drop feature like the Tabs
feature... here is my answer.
That will be implemented soon. (Just a couple of days back the Tabs feature
was implemented.) Although it can be implemented now if you want to use any
external library like jQuery or Prototype.

*** Perhaps u can add the Drag and Drop feature if you are good at
Javascript. Here is the hint: the jQuery library is right there in the svn.
So just write your function or classes and add them. Create a ticket for
revision of the SVN with your code. ***   Thats just a word of encouragement
for you to participate in the development :)

Thats great Kevin.

I was actually looking into the php code and didnt understand what has to be
implemented althought the To-Do list was there.
Now that the docs are here its going to nice.

The docs were published on friday (
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference/ )

"drag" is not included in the spec, so there's no reference to implement
against.

Kevin,
Isn't the drag and drop going to be added like the Tabs feature?
And sometime ago I heard someone saying that the docs are going to be out in
a week. Is it ready?

Re: How to

[Kevin Brown <et...@google.com>]

Are you referring to dragging of gadgets around a container page, or drag
within a gadget?

The former is implementation specific, and will probably never be in
shindig. Deployments using shindig (such as igoogle) may support this
functionality, but it's not part of shindig itself necessarily. Feel free to
submit a patch for the example container code that does this if you'd like.

Drag and drop within gadgets is another story. iGoogle supported a "drag"
feature (http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference.html#Ref_Drag),
but it is not going to be a part of the spec (
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference/). Instead, the best
solution would be to use one of the many fine existing drag and drop
libraries out there already (YUI, dojo, etc.).

This doesn't preclude shindig from implementing the "drag" library in the
future, but at this point our efforts are around spec compliance and
ensuring that it is flexible enough to be used by real sites that want to
use it. Since there is no formal spec for "drag" (other than trying to clone
the existing igoogle implementation), it is being left out.
