Save dashboard state without reorderListener?

[Oleg]

Hello Cagatay,

Maybe I have misunderstood your dashboard component. I read in the docu

State
Dashboard is a stateful component, whenever a widget is reordered dashboard model will be updated, by persisting this information, you can easily create a stateful dashboard so for example if your applications allows users to change the layout, next time a user logs in you can present the dashboard layout based on the preferences of user.

But I have just found reorderListener. This listener is invoked everytime after each reordering. This is not passable for me. I would like to have a button so that user reorders, reorders, ... items many times and then at the end pushes this button and the DashboardModel gets updated. Is it possible to have a command button with "process" attribute pointed to the dashboard component so that DashboardModel will be updated after press this button?

Actually, this is a quite normally requirement.

Thanks in advance.

Eh... I see you don't have that. That means, I have to extend your component again.

What do you think, can I use serialize method for sortable items? http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Sortable#method-serialize. The idea is to pass all reordered IDs (saved before in a hidden field), update DashboardModel and queues a new DashboardActionEvent for a new actionListener (missing at the moment).

P.S. The next extension would be dynamically panels. This is not a problem, I already done something like for breadcrumb.
