Hi salateenoo,

Did you check this issue?

You can customize the look and feel of the boxes by CSS override. Check the CSS which comes with homebox and override it at the theme level.

Ok,

Please check 2 things, first be sure that you have the movable options checked in layout section for your block see sreenshot.

If that still doesn't work install Firebug (http://getfirebug.com/) a Firefox extension. To see if you have a JavaScript error it should look like the screenshot attached.

hello again,

it worksssssssss great now ..Only on IE and safari, but stays still on FF, any Clue ??

Nope, nothing I'm aware of, just try to clear your cache (FF and Drupal), double check if you have any strange FF extension or develpor toolbar parameter is not accepting JavaScript. Anything not standard.

I had this issue because jquery_ui expects the minified versions of the js files by default, which aren't included in the 1.6 bundle at jqueryui.com

It therefore can't include the required js files, though it tries...

It caused an 'sortable is not a function' error

I edited jquery_ui.module

line 31:

// from:
  $compression = variable_get('jquery_update_compression_type', 'mini');
// to
  $compression = variable_get('jquery_update_compression_type', 'none'); // default to not minified

and that fixed it for me.

jquery_ui used to have an admin setting where you could choose the compression type, but I can't find it in the current version...

I hope it helps someone else too.

I have the same problem - can't move the boxes. And none of the solutons you guys suggest above work.
I have the jquery_ui version 1.7.2 - do I need to use 1.6 to make it work? Any tips will be appreciated.

This is a really cool module - thanks :-)

Yes you must use 1.6. Give of a try and let us know.

Yes - works perfectly with jquery ui 1.6 :-)
You might want to mention this on the project page and the README.

Thanks for this excellent module.

I have encountered the same and have the following java error when i try to drag and drop a box.
c.Event is not a function
[Break on this error] jQuery.ui||(function(c){var i=c.fn.remov...ncel:null,distance:1,delay:0}})(jQuery);
ui.core.min.js?y (line 10)

and I am using jquery_ui version 1.7.2. Can you also support of this version of jquery ui?

Until jquery_ui module only supports jQuery UI 1.6 Homebo won't be able to upgrade.
