  • Read values from the menu_links database table. Write values to the menu_links database table.
  • The base table must be "Node"

That's all this handler is about and that's all you need to know about this handler.

The DraggableViews Book handler comes with the DraggableViews module. Make your own book outline administration interface selectively accessible for any user.

Supported fields

  • Order field: Book: Weight
  • Parent field: Node: Nid with Parent relationship

How can I get my book outline administration interface

  1. Just activate the DraggableViews Book handler module at the modules administration page (q=admin/build/modules). A Rearrange tab will appear with each book node. See screenshot
  2. Configure the views access plugin (Basic settings section) to satisfy your needs. E.g. choose "Permission" as access plugin and set the permission to "DraggableViews: Allow Reordering".

What you should be aware of

Book handler settings

  • Root Book by..: DraggableViews needs to know to which book page the listed book pages belong. You can use either the value of an argument or the value of a configured filter. The values of all nodes will be saved relatively to this book (instead of beginning counting with 0 for both parent nids and weights). If you choose "None" then root parent nids and starting weights will default to 0.
