New features in "personnel" component

I wrote some new features to Personnel component (net.nemein.personnel): it is now possible to sort personnel into sub groups and in these sub groups they can be arranged freely.

Main features

  • Quick creation of new sub groups
  • Drag and drop sorting for both personnel and sub groups
  • Sub group name editing by double-clicking




Scriptaculous based dragging and dropping is becoming very popular with MidCOM applications. Scriptaculous boosts up usability with simple and effective features, which have been de facto standard in operating systems for ages.


Features still missing

  • One person should be able to belong to many sub groups
    • Only the first membership is registered at the moment
  • Subgrouping requires at the moment sorting everything by hand: there should be also an option to group the personnel, but still keep them in alphabetical order
  • Online help
  • Browser support
    • Some problems still unsolved with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and JavaScript

Note that features described above are still in beta phase. To enable these features update your net.nemein.personnel to the latest beta version and set the sorting order to Manually sorted and grouped from component configuration.
