Netvibes like UI - Feature requests integration [#217513]

A year ago I've written about my vision of a netvibes-like module.

Happily seeing this come into a wonderfull reality, I think it's time to check if all of those feature requests were fulfilled and integrate them into the mysite issue queue.

* Description displayed on mouseover.
* Blocks are user-selectable
* Blocks are movable from place to place. Other AJAX effects.
* Block can be closed by a user.
* Block color and title is user selectable.

Please help me find which requests still need to be done.

The features on the module page are very impressive, but before I install the module, I've tried to test the features on the demo site - I wasn't able to drag and drop any blocks. So maybe the demo site need to be updated.

Please advise

Thanks in advance,

Amnon

You must be logged in to the demo site to drag blocks. You cannot drag blocks on pages that do not belong to you.

If you are logged in, and drag-and-drop does not work, please file an issue, especially note which browser and platform.

As for the other items on the list, please download and test 5.x.3-beta3. Here's a breakdown of your list.

* Description displayed on mouseover.

-- Not implemented. Never requested as a feature. Please file against HEAD.

* Blocks are user-selectable

-- Core feature.

* Blocks are movable from place to place. Other AJAX effects.

-- Blocks are movable by the page owner. Other effects? See http://mdxlab.com/mysite for the Drupal 6 demo code. This is pure HTML/CSS/JS that needs debugging -- especially by PC users.

* Block can be closed by a user.

-- Core feature.

* Block color and title is user selectable.

-- Core feature, though the admin defines the colors using the API. http://therickards.com/api

Note that the demo site is running 5.x.2.15 and has not been upgraded due to hosting issues. It should be upgraded to 5.x.3 before DrupalCON.

Other tasks that could use help:

-- http://drupal.org/node/216038
-- http://drupal.org/node/199238
-- http://drupal.org/node/189421
-- http://drupal.org/node/186923

I am especially looking for jQuery assistance for the port to 6.x.

Please understand that 5.x.2 is bugfix only. 5.x.3 is frozen to new features -- it is waiting for testers before release. Then 5.x.3 is getting ported to Drupal 6.

Most additional features will go into the D6 release.
