Just added another extra credit item in HW7:

4. (+15pt) Enter the text of checkpoints using CKEditor.

So far most people use text field for entering the text of checkpoints, but as you can see from the example below, the text of a checkpoint can be quite long, and sometimes it may contain hyperlinks and some formatting as well, so it makes sense to use a rich text editor like CKEditor to enter the text.

Did you have suggestions for the drag and drop jquery libraries?  So far I've gathered that i'll need three separate libraries to perform the latter part of the EC.  

Any tips on getting information on the order of columns and rows from our AJAX call?   

I use jQuery + jQuery UI. You can find several examples in CSNS2: reorder questions in online assignments; reorder blocks, items, and class info entries in class sites. Reordering table rows is pretty simple, but I've never done reordering table columns - it's certainly doable but it may be more difficult.

Can we implement the basic version of ckeditor?  There really doesn't seem to be anything different about the implementation other the size of the.zip.

 

I assume you mean using the "basic package" of ckeditor, which is fine.

For EC 6-8 order needs to be preserved at the database level, right? 

Yes.
