Hi Gregor,
I only just now got a chance to look deeply into the rp file, and it’s simply brilliant!
It took me quite a while to figure out what you did… nicely done! I love the fact that its completely generic, so I can change the size / location / formatting and nothing breaks.
Thank you very much for accepting the challenge, and winning it
Some afterthoughts I had:
One of the inevitable shortcomings of the repeater widget is that it makes the interactions MUCH more complicated, it really required an effort to figure out what you did. I wish that Axure will add a “function” widget and make our life a little easier than tweaking dynamic panels. I think the repeater complexity demands it.
I also wish there would be an option to directly trigger a specific repeater item. I love the trick you did with the internal dynamic panel trigger! I’m gonna use this one a lot
Also, I would like to see an OnInit and OnFinish events for the repeater, so we could make updated to global variables there, and keep all the repeater functionality in one place, and not spread across and “hidden” in external dynamic panels.
[I created a feature request for this [here](http://www.axure.com/forum/v7-beta-repeater-widget/8476-feature-request-oninit-event-repeater.html#post25639), and when I wanted to link it now I saw you already replied on it, lol ]
Thanks again!! I learned a bunch of new tricks, that I’m sure will be useful in the future
I really like this drag & drop, it is exactly what I want to do. But I only have the 6.5 version and I cannot open it.
May I ask you to share a 6.5 version of this rp? :o
Or do you know a way to do the same kind of effect on a 6.5 version?
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
this file can not be exported as an axure 6.5 file. the basic functionality could be rebuild in axure 6.5. but will be much harder to maintain the contents because the basic widget, the repeater widget, is not available in axure 6.5.
Thanks for this! I didn’t actually use this example exactly, but seeing it in action sparked an idea for another problem I was trying to solve. Thanks for the inspiration!
Pardon my ignorance, but I noticed in your RP file, in the Widget Interaction screen, you have events that I don’t have in my version, eg
OnDrag, OnDragDrop, OnSwipeLeft, etc…
(I’m using Axure 7 Beta)
Are these custom events that you built? If yes, could you point me to some resources to do this?
If no, could you let me know how I could get these custom events as well?
