I am trying to implement copy / paste functionality on my folders in jstree. The problem is that, in the paste event when i access the parent id, it gives me the id of the old parent node of the folder. I need the new parent_id of the node where the folder is pasted to. When i implement a cut event followed by a paste event, I am able to get the new parent_id by retrieving it in the paste event, but unfortunately I am not able to get the same for copy/paste . How can I get new parent_id ? Please let me know. Thank you. I appreciate your help! The log statements in the code is as follows:
.on('copy_node.jstree', function (e, data) {
console.log(" copy event ");
console.log(" type : "+data.node.type);
console.log(" id : "+data.node.id);
console.log(" text : "+data.node.text);
console.log(" new parent id : "+data.node.parent)
}).on('paste.jstree', function (e, data) {
console.log(" paste event ");
console.log(" parent id : "+data.node[0].parent);
console.log(" parents id : "+data.node[0].parents);
console.log(" tree node id : "+data.node[0].id);
console.log(" type : "+data.node[0].type);
})
The output seen is as follows:
copy event
type : default
id : j1_5
text : New node
new parent id : j1_2
paste event
parent id : j1_1
parents id : j1_1,#
tree node id : j1_4
type : default
Please NOTE: I am getting new parent_id in the copy event i.e 'j1_2' but I am unable to get it in the paste event. I want this new parent_id in order to persist in the db. The paste event shows parent_id as 'j1_1' which is the old parent_id of the copied node.
data.parent gives me the new parent node id.
