Hello there,

has anyone already successfully created an ajaxy tree based on  
acts\_as\_nested\_set which allows the user to drag-and-drop items (and of  
course also save the movement) in the tree?

Cheers & thanks,

You can try the ‘lifetree’ plugin. But I don’t know about D&D support  
for it.

Hi Ingo,  
Do you mean LiveTree? [LiveTree | epiphyte.ca](http://www.epiphyte.ca/code/live_tree.html)  
It does not have drag and drop support right now, but is otherwise  
very functional
