Can't change categories order through drag and drop in admin with permission "Community"

klu00

Hi,

I think I found an issue, or maybe I did a mistake in the configuration but I have a problem (or maybe that's not possible to do) but I've a problem :

I gave to moderator group the "community" permission, that allows to manage Categories in the back office. Then I logged in with a moderator account, I am able to create categories and save them, but not to move them with the drag and drop feature. I mean the drag and drop works well, but after saving and refreshing the page, the order defined isn't saved...

Any help would be appreciated, thanks !

Vanilla 2.2 (don't know the exact version because I'm not at home, but it was downloaded about 2 weeks ago).

This could be a JS error. If you open your network tools you should be able to see if the request being sent to save the category tree.

Hi @hgtonight. I have had the similar issue, I cannot drag and move the category.

Vanilla 2.2 was downloaded about 3 weeks ago and at first the drag & drop feature worked well.

You said JS error, how to correct this error? Is there another way to arrange the categories list?

Thanks in advance.

look in your javascript console to find js errors. look for errors that appear.

if error appear, what it is?

if no error appear.

this can be problem with large number of categories. how many categories you have?

if there be a javascript error it can be the result of bad plugin or thing you add.

Usually I found that these errors happen when there is JQuery with an opening line like this

$( document ).ready(function() {

instead of this

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
