Hello all, I am in the early stages of developing a web portal and want to provide a drag-n-drop of blocks, so users can pretty much configure their own custom page. I am using Drupal as a CMS and found some pretty well functioning modules which enable the DnD functionality.
I noticed that the Drupal modules in question (jquery_drag_drop, jquery_interface and interface_sortable) use the "Interface" plugin (http://interface.eyecon.ro). On inspecting this plugin it seems to me that it offers some of the same functions as do ui.sortable.js, ui.draggable.js and ui.droppable.js. So the question is basically: is the Interface plugin superseded by jQuery UI? So would I be using "old-tech" if I used the Interface plugin? It would be nice to get some input on this question. Cheers, Óskar
