Layout Maker

Post by tecktalkcm0391 »

How would I do this:

I want to make a layout maker for users on my website. What they do is go in and can move the different parts to there profile around. I also want the users to be able to change different objects colors, and types.

How could I do something like that, and how would I store there settings so that they would be able to pull them back.

Thanks to places like Google and the re-invention of hard-core faith of javascript
AJAX would be the most likely thought that came to my mind for this

Moved to PHP Code.

Take a look at Walter Zorn's drag/drop library in terms of moving things around. You can google for that.

Maybe what you're actually looking for is a CMS?

ok, well I can't figure how to get that to work, I want to have two columns that you can drag the content from column to column, and up and down the column so pretty much anywere on the page.

Anybody got suggestions?
