Why only one event could be showed on the MonthView

[ivan]

Hello,
I know some people have asked this. Please see this below:

http://www.telerik.com/forums/show-all-events-for-day-in-month-view
http://www.telerik.com/forums/how-can-i-specify-the-height-of-a-row-in-the-monthview-

I think they and I are talking about the same thing. We need to show all events in the day cell of the month view. 
I don't want to  extend the MonthView as it can lead to unexpected behavior and is out of scope of support service. 

You said in the thread:

http://www.telerik.com/forums/show-all-events-for-day-in-month-view

that:
1) As the "dayView" renders all available events in given cell (next to each other) by default it's not clear for us what is the exact behavior that you are trying to achieve - could you please clarify?

So let me clarify it clearly.
Because in many time, we need to create more than one task started in the same day(for example, we said event A and event B), both the event lasted for 3 days. It's a wonderfull function that we could drag the event on the MonthView to change the start date, or the end date, so we could make a task which lasted for more than one day quickly.

Now  you limited only one event showed in the same day cell of the MonthView, more events will be hided and just show a "more button". But when we click the "more button", we will enter into the DayView. So we COULD NOT change the second event's start date or end date just by drag on the MonthView.

That's reason 1 why need to show all events in the save day cell of the MonthView.

Reason 2, is when we have more than one employees, for example, you are a manager, you have 3 employees, just like your online demo.
You need to see the team's whole tasks arrangement in the month, not each person at each time, just see all their tasks, so you could know which day is free and which day is in a heave workload.  The working scenario is see workload in a Month Calendar, not see a detail job in a DayView. So we want to show all events in the save day cell of the MonthView.

Hi Ivan,

Basically, how many events will be displayed on a certain day depends on two things - the height of the day cell and the eventHeight option of the MonthView. Automatically resizing the cells so all events are shown is not supported out of the box and implementing it would require a custom solution that is beyond the scope of our support services. You could however, reduce the height of the events and use CSS to increase the days cell height as shown in this example.

Is there a way to affect cell height in the Month view but not the Week or Day views?

[Alexander Popov]

Hello Kyle,

The eventHeight option is available only for  "month", "timeline", "timelineWeek", "timelineWorkWeek" and "timelineMonth" views. The alternative approach I suggested previously is to use CSS rules. They can further be customized by including the table wrapping the view and its respective class (e.g -  "k-scheduler-monthview").

Thanks; that's what I ended up doing.

.k-scheduler-monthview .k-scheduler-table td {
        height: 125px !important;
      }
