Issue Summary
How hard would it be to modify this module to work not on a table but on an "unordered" view and to not only have one order field, but a set of coordinates per node? Basically I want to drag nodes around on a canvas and store the position. Additionally, I'd like to resize them (that means I need width and height too).
Comments
#1
Mmm, sounds very interesting. This would mean to split the current module in "DraggableViews API" module and sub-modules that implement views-style-plugins like the currently implemented "Draggable Table", possibly "Draggable Objects" and maybe many more in the future.
I'll keep this in mind for the 6.x-3.3 release.
If you don't have time to wait for this release please contact me.

A draggable grid view could reorder images with flickr like finesse. I've often wondered about this possibility with drupal's drag n drop js -- now it would be great to follow this route with draggable views. Realistically, how far away is the API/plugin split mentioned above, and any idea what would be involved in writing the various plugins (unordered, grid, etc)?
#3
Split isn't far away.
Unordered: actually cannot reuse existing parts of draggableviews;
Grid: realistic to be integrated in the future.

Just adding my vote for this feature!
I like to do views with node instead of fields (I find node tpls way easier to style than view tpls), but I LOVE the drag-and-drop that this module provides. I'd like to combine them both!
#5
adding 'draggableviews 3.3' tag for postponed features.

Same here ! The concept of this module is great, and I use it already. But with a grid mode ... My !

Okay, it's time to stop dreaming of changes that will never arrive. I'm afraid I've to set the status of this issue to "won't fix" because I could not reuse any code from this module. I know I already told you the contrary in http://drupal.org/node/419892#comment-1451670 but today I know it better :)
A "draggable Grid" is really a great idea for a new project.
Unfortunately I personally will not have time to build such a module in the next 10 months, even if it was paid :)
With tears rolling down my face I'm making this issue an end :(
