More info in day event

[Edward]

How do I get more information in the displayed event?  Currently it only displays the title (see attached image).  I looked at this: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/scheduler/templates (this is the example that has an IMDB link on it using the following code.) but it can't be doubled clicked to edit the event.

.EventTemplate(
    "<div class='movie-template'>" +
        "<img src='" + Url.Content("~/Content/web/scheduler/") + "#= Image #' />" +
        "<p>" +
            "#= kendo.toString(start, 'hh:mm') # - #= kendo.toString(end, 'hh:mm') #" +
        "</p>" +
        "<h3>#= title #</h3>" +
        "<a href='#= Imdb #'>Movie in IMDB</a>" +
    "</div>")

I'd like to do something like this but be able to double click it and change it.

Hello Matt,

The editing of the aforementioned demo is disabled and that is why editor template is not shown on double click. You can use the event template to define the content of the rendered event and still have an editable scheduler.

I clicked the three links you had in your reply and they all go to the same url, Scheduler demo.  I do not see where that url is helping.  Can you elaborate which scheduler demo I need to look at?

Hello Matt,

Something goes wrong while I was specifying the links. Please excuse me for that. Here is the correct text of the message:

The editing of the aforementioned demo (check the editable: false option) is disabled and that is why editor template is not shown on double click. You can use the event template to define the content of the rendered event and still have an editable scheduler. For instance, here is a demo with event templates and enabled editing.

The problem is when I create a new task the AssetName and OwnerName is NULL.  I have two resources that set assetid and userid.  I need the text value from the dropdowns to be AssetName and OwnerName.


After thinking about it makes since that they are NULL on creation b/c the only thing that populates them is my read method to my
db.  Once I refresh the page both the AssetName and OwnerName contain the right data. 

I need to know either how to query the db to get this information upon task dialog closing or somehow bind the AssetName to the DataTextField on the resource for m => m.AssetID and bind the OwnerName to the DataTextField on the resource for m => m.OwnerID.

 

@(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<GIS.Services.Pulse.Types.Models.TaskAsset>()
    .Name("scheduler")
    .Date(Model.Date)
    .StartTime(Model.Date)
    .Height(800)
    .EventTemplate(
            "<div class='asset-task'>" +
                "<strong>#= title #</strong>" +
                "<p>" +
                    "<strong>Asset: </strong>#= AssetName #" +
                    "<br>" +
                    "<strong>Owner: </strong>#= OwnerName #" +
                "</p>" +
            "</div>"
    )
    .Views(views =>
    {
        views.DayView();
        views.WorkWeekView();
        views.WeekView();
        views.MonthView(monthView => monthView.Selected(true)).EventHeight(70);
        views.AgendaView();
    })
    .Timezone("Etc/UTC")
    .Resources(resource =>
    {
        resource.Add(m => m.AssetID)
            .Title("Asset")
            .DataTextField("Name")
            .DataValueField("AssetID")
            .DataSource(ds => ds.Read("Assets", "Asset"));

        resource.Add(m => m.OwnerID)
            .Title("Owner")
            .DataTextField("DisplayName")
            .DataValueField("UserID")
            .DataSource(ds => ds.Read("Users", "Users"));

        resource.Add(m => m.WorkTypeID)
            .Title("Work Type")
            .DataTextField("Name")
            .DataValueField("WorkTypeID")
            .DataSource(ds => ds.Read("WorkTypes", "MaintenanceSchedule"));

    })
    .DataSource(d => d
        .Model(m =>
        {
            m.Id(f => f.TaskID);
            m.Field(f => f.Title).DefaultValue("No title");
            m.Field(f => f.OwnerName);
            m.Field(f => f.AssetName);
            m.RecurrenceId(f => f.RecurrenceID);
        })
        .Read("TaskAssetRead", "Scheduler")
        .Create("TaskAssetCreate", "Scheduler")
        .Destroy("TaskAssetDestroy", "Scheduler")
        .Update("TaskAssetUpdate", "Scheduler")
        //.Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
    )
    .Events(events => events.Edit("edit"))
)

My model is:

Can this be done?

Hello Matt,

In general, the widget knows how to update the AssetID (I will focus only on this event property), because this is specifically defined in the Resources method, but AssetName is unknown to it. When a new event is created I suppose that you are querying the DB to get the AssetName based on the AssetID. Thus when you refresh the page all events have the correct AssetID and AssetName set. If this is the case, then the AssetName is NULL after create/update because the service responsible for update/create does not return the correctly updated event. Here is a screencast of a test project (project is attached to this message), which demonstrates that additional property is shown if the event is correctly updated on create. Could you please modify it to reproduce the problem? This will help us to understand your current implementation and advice you further.

Thanks Georgi. Your reply helped.
