Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
Drag and Drop component is developed using iGoogle, Netvibes and other popular web sites concept.

This is a component for Joomla! that allows you to create pages with modular sections that visitors of your site can drag and drop in whichever order they choose. When one drags a module, the component shows the positions where user can put it (transparency feature is used to drag modules). Unique layout is saved to be used for the user coming back to the personalized pages. Standard pages’ layout is used for new site visitors.

With the Drag&Drop component users can:
- choose from a list of predefined draggable modules which they want to show on the page and add them;
- сhange modules colour on the page with a couple of clicks. 13 colours are available to select from;
- manage elements by categories dynamically (if it is applied);
- tell friends about information learned from any module on the page by email.

Administrator defines the drag and drop list structure.
Extra module for news blog sites is available to represent Last articles. The module displays last articles by sections and suggests links to articles. Users are free to manage last articles by categories dynamically. Handy representation style makes the module a favorite one.

With Drag&Drop component you can make personalized page style, easy to find desirable content and interactive. No programming skills needed to take advantage of the drag drop page style. If you have basic programming skills you can easily customize two standard templates for drag drop modules.

Joomla! 1.5 and 1.6 compatible.

I use the component for our local corporate portal to create customizable dashboards. We forgot about spending dozens of minutes to find information you are care every day. You just drag a module you would like to be available at your home page and drop it wherever you want. I needed some customization. The guys at JoomPlace are enthusiastic out-of-the-box thinkers. Good job!

I have a travel industry news site. The component provides a user with immediate insights about hot marketplace news and trends. You just create a dashboard dragging and dropping available modules and enjoy your personalized content page. It works fairly well.

You can organize the page with your most important module section on top and remove the sections you really do not care for. Then you can find easily and read what you came for straight away. The component really made my portal easy to enjoy every day.

Inspired by the BBC website, Netvibes, iGoogle, and others. This Drag and Drop component has enabled us to create Drag and Drop functionality on our own page. And will allow our users to create their own start page. The Drag & Drop component is an amazing product. And User friendly in it's use.
