I try to make web parts move independently between columns. I have the drag-drop code with list items and I want to do drag-drop thing with the web parts. Here is an example web site: http://www.ataturkairport.com/tr-TR/Pages/Main.aspx I hope that I'm on the right way. If I'm not, I can have your suggestions.

what is the question? – Steve B Oct 10 '12 at 12:28
I want to modify the drag-drop code with web part but I couldn't find how I can do it. Can I use web parts in a code? – e.ozmen Oct 10 '12 at 12:30
in edit mode you can always drag drop web part, do you wish to provide the facility to general user? and do you wish to persist the change or should the change be local to a user? give a little more details – Diptarag Oct 10 '12 at 12:34
The link you mention use a standard jQuery implementation, not specific to SharePoint. I'm quite sure the code is not specific to SharePoint. I believe the company behind the implementation build a custom publishing page, with a lot a specific javascript – Steve B Oct 10 '12 at 12:36
I know it can be in edit mode but I want it for every user. But I don'T know how codes include web parts. Here is code'S demo: jqueryui.com/sortable/#display-grid . Can you tell me how can I make web parts to be a list item or some idea similar to that? – e.ozmen Oct 10 '12 at 12:49

With some tweaking you can get Drag and Drop in edit mode to work in SP 2010. http://blog.pixelmill.com/1161/drag-drop-web-parts-not-working-in-sharepoint-2010-custom-master-page/ But that does not seem to be exactly what you are looking for.

I have never seen that sort of behavior duplicated in a SharePoint site. If I were going about recreating it, though, I would do it within a single web part that had some sort of "canvas" allowing the drag and drop arrangement of different widgets. This would allow reordering of the widgets when not in edit mode.

I think the web part zone infrastructure is a little bit too complex to manage in the way that you would like to be able to drag and drop between web part zones outside of edit mode.

You'r right. It sounds better then mine. But there will be announcement, weather news, photos and other things. I've done them with independent web parts. How can I carry them? It will be hard without web part. – e.ozmen Oct 10 '12 at 12:59
I think these widgets are going to have to be pure JavaScript or XSLT wrapped within jQuery UI, KendoUI, or similar. – Robert Kaucher Oct 10 '12 at 13:04
Ok then I'll try to do like you said. Thank you. – e.ozmen Oct 10 '12 at 13:07
If you get something working, please consider writing a blog post about it. I would be very willing to help with your English. – Robert Kaucher Oct 10 '12 at 13:26
I'll let you know as soon as I can. Thank you again. – e.ozmen Oct 10 '12 at 21:14
