By Dougiefresh (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=253913) -> Link to Mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=4083)
IntroductionThis mod adds the ability to drag and drop individual boards to new positions either within the category it resides, or within a new category.
This mod is based on the Manage Boards UI of the ElkArte (http://www.elkarte.net) fork of SMF (which is licensed under a 3-clause BSD License (http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause)), which has this functionality built in.

Uploaded v1.3 - March 23rd, 2016
o Moved BoardOrder function from Sources/XML.php into Subs-DragDropBoards.php.
It seems the
BoardOrder function was renamed to
DragDrop_XML when it was moved into
./Sources/Subs-DragDropBoards.php because I get the following error messages in the log when I use this mod:
Call to undefined function BoardOrder() in ./Sources/Xml.php on line 44Two possible solutions:
1. Either rename all
DragDrop_XML references in
Subs-DragDropBoards.php to
BoardOrder; or
2. Change the second edit to
./Sources/Xml.php as follows:
'jumpto' => array('boardorder' => array(
'function' => 'DragDrop_XML',
),

Could this be done on a per user basis, so they can re-arrange the forum the way they want. ??
Hmmm.... Probably, although I personally wonder how much impact such a mod would have on forum performance.
Yeah I figured performance would take a hit. It was just a question I thought I would ask. :)

Well, it might not be a bad hit, and who knows, it might be negligible.... Users wouldn't be able to change if a board is a child of another board, as that adds too much complexity to a drag-and-drop system for users. However, the process of building an "admin-styled" board rearrangement UI, plus drag-and-drop management, for users is not a simple task....
I'm not sure if the benefits outweigh the effort to mod the forum like that. Let me think on it some.... I can see the utility in such a mod, though....
It was just an idea I got when staring at this thread for a second or two. seems the logical direction for this mod though, lol.
I'm curious, how is it "the logical direction"? I could see it being logical as part of a much larger refit of the entire system to focus on an individual user's wants over the community's (which implicitly comes at the price of making your community less of a community, a la Facebook)
On a practical note, if you did do it for all users individually, you'd also need to update the loading of boards for breadcrumbs which would be a small but annoying change.
Drag and drop for hierarchies and child boards isn't particularly icky for users, at least not the users who arranged albums inside albums in LevGal.
Well you have the functionality of it that only the admin gets to use. Why not try and extend that to the users. It seems to me that if this mod was going to be extended that this would be one of the only ways to do it. Like I said it was just a thought. No real harm done here.
Uploaded v1.9 - May 22nd, 2019
o Added support for SMF 2.1 RC2.
o Removed support for SMF 2.1 Beta 3.
o Fixed language XML files to properly skip non-existant files.
@Bigguy: I've given this idea very little thought over the last few months.....

Making it user choice continues to be a bad idea. Also, good luck dealing with people who've rearranged the boards and have no idea how different their experience is from the admin's, who will then be expected to fix the situation.
A forum is a shared space by design, a space given form by the admin, and part of the point is that everyone collectively shares in it and has a consistent experience.

b]@Arantor:[/b] Both are good points. I'm really not feeling this idea....
Hey it's fine. Like I said it was just something that hit me when looking at this. No problems here. ;)
Says package is corrupt no matter what browser or connection I try.
