Scheduler eventTemplate customisation is more flexible than documented

[Geoff]

This may be helpful to others. Scheduler's eventTemplate is more flexible than is currently documented. 

The documentation indicates that the following fields may be used:

• description String - the event description
• end Date - the event end date
• resources Array - the event resources
• start Date - the event start date
• title String - the event title

Ref: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/scheduler#configuration-eventTemplate

However, this is not strictly true. I have been able to use any property from a dataSource in the "read" transport. 

Example:

 

 

01.jQuery(function($) {
02.    $("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
03.        // ...
04.        eventTemplate: $("#event-template").html(),
05.        dataSource: [{
06.            id: 1,
07.            start: new Date("2013/6/6 08:00 AM"),
08.            end: new Date("2013/6/6 09:00 AM"),
09.            title: "Interview",
10.            resources: [1,2],
11.            customField1: "Hello Worlrd!"
12.        } ],
13.        // ...
14.    });
15.});

 

The customField1 (line 11 above) property should actually be available for you to use within your eventTemplate.

1.<script id="event-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
2.    <span class="title">#: title #</span><br />
3.    <span class="description">#: customField1 #</span>
4.</script>

 

This opens up the eventTemplate to much greater levels of customisation than is documented.
