Not answered RadCalendar in DNN Module

Hello all,

I am trying to use a RadCalendar in a DNN module and I started with the example module provided by Telerik. In this module it can display the events on file in either list format or in the actual calendar.

My module compiles fine, but when I try and add it to a DNN page I get this error message:

error BC30451: Name 'FormatImage' is not declared

Multiple calls to FormatImage() are contained within the HTML and there is a function defintion in the code behind. I have researched this for some time and can not come up with any answer.

My questions are as followings

1) Has anybody done this type of include calling of functions in the code behind in a DNN module? If so can you provide any details that may help me.

2) Has anybody out there used the Telerik Calendar Control in a DNN module? If so, was it worth it?

3) Has anybody used the RadScheduler also? Can you compare the Calendar and Scheduler? Which would you recommend for a site Events DNN module?

Thanks in advance for any insight you may have.

Regards, Todd.

Hi Todd,

I'm using the RadSchedler in a DNN module for appointment tracking and it works just fine with the calendar popup. However I'm am having problems with the LinqToSql datasource for my datalayer. It doesn't like Timestamps in the database tables. Telerik is working on a fix for that.

The RadScheduler would be a better control for an events module in my opinion, alot more control over templating the look and layout.

I've also update the Dnn core to use the RadScriptManager. Makes the ajax stuff alot easier to work with. If you try and update the Dnn core to use the RadScriptManager, watch out for CountryListBox dll, it's set to automatic build on the version number, ie. 1.0.2182.*, that can cause some fits. I changed it to a fixed value of 0 in the build number part, ie. 1.0.2182.0.

I'm using Dnn version 4.9.0

Hey Burl,

Thanks for the reply.

I have gotten the calendar control to work for an events module but it was definitely a struggle. I had to write custom HTML to put in each day box in order to get my events to show up correctly. Did you need to do that with the Scheduler control? Also, I have my events in the boxes as hyperlinks so the users can click to go to another ASCX to see that detauls of the event. Were you able to do this with the scheduler?

I would be happy to share my calendar module with you if you would share yours with me. Maybe we can learn something from each other? :-).

I am on DNN version 4.8.4, but could easily upgrade to 4.9.0.

Again, thanks for your reply.

Regards, Todd.

Hi Todd,

Sorry for the late reply, been chasing Css issues with RadPanels in my module, still haven't gotten those fixed. Are you using Sliding Panes in your module by chance?
