[Solved] adding more fields to view

[mike john]

Hi I have been playing around with the Scheduler its a pretty cool control I would like to be able to display more than just the title and description when you select an appointment is it possible to include an additional filed from te database that would show in the appointment window?

You should be able to do this quite easily. I think if you look over the Custom Resources and Attributes documentation article you can get some further insight on how to accomplish this.

Hello Mike,

You can also review the Advanced Templates demo:

I am now getting an error when you select an appointment it shows the appointment window I have a description field which has <p> to format the text view however if I select close using the X button I get

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpRequestValidationException: A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (RadScheduler1_Form_Description_text="<p>
Praesent ut jus...").

if I remove the <p> its fine obviously this is not very good for a normal user why is it giving an error when it put the <p> in the first place ???

Hi Mike,

You might find useful the Using Templates demo. You can use a custom attribute to store the url for the appointment.

Thanks for the reply I have managed to show a text box that displays the url of the file (when it is stored in the database its gets stored as http://localhost/(folder)/file.zip ) is it possible to make the contents of that text box a clickable link

thanks

Mike

Hello mike,

It might be better to use a link directly, instead of a textbox. For example:

<a href='<%# Eval("UrlPath") %>'>uploaded file</a>, where UrlPath is your custom attribute.

Let me know if there is a reason why you cannot use this approach.


Kind regards,

Hi thanks for your reply I currently have

   <telerik:ResourceStyleMapping ApplyCssClass="" Key="fileUpload" Text=""
                    Type="http://" />
            </ResourceStyles>
            <AppointmentContextMenus>
                <telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu ID="RadSchedulerContextMenu1" runat="server"
                    DataMember="DefaultView" DataNavigateUrlField="fileUpload" DataTextFormatString="url"
                    DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="fileUpload"
                    DataValueField="fileUpload" Height="10px" Width="100%">
                </telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu>
            </AppointmentContextMenus>
            <AdvancedForm EnableCustomAttributeEditing="True" />
        </telerik:RadScheduler>

Where would I add your referance so the fileUpload becomes a link

thanks

M

[Peter]

Hello Mike,

You can add the link in the advanced form templates or the appointment template:

<telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server">
       <AdvancedEditTemplate>
           ***
       </AdvancedEditTemplate>
       <AdvancedInsertTemplate>
           ***
       </AdvancedInsertTemplate>
       <AppointmentTemplate>
           ***
       </AppointmentTemplate>
   </telerik:RadScheduler>

Anyone able to point me in the right place or explain why the correct url is not showing

[Peter]

Hi mike,

It looks like you are not using the AdvancedEditTemplate or AdvancedInsertTemplate. If you just need to add the download file link, you don't really have to use the advanced templates, because there is an easier way to achieve this by handling FormCreated as follows:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit || e.Container.Mode == SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert)
        {
            Panel submitArea = e.Container.FindControl("ButtonsPanel").Parent as Panel;
            HyperLink link1 = new HyperLink();
            link1.Text= "upload file";
            link1.NavigateUrl = e.Appointment.Attributes["fileUpload"];
            submitArea.Controls.Add(link1);
        }
    }

Please, try the above code and let us know how it goes.

Hi thanks for the reply I converted your code to vb so I have the following

Imports Telerik.Web.UI

Partial Class users_Default
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    Protected Sub RadScheduler1_FormCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs)
        If e.Container.Mode = SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit OrElse OrElse e.Container.Mode = SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert Then
            Dim submitArea As Panel = TryCast(e.Container.FindControl("ButtonsPanel").Parent, Panel)
            Dim link1 As New HyperLink()
            link1.Text = "upload file"
            link1.NavigateUrl = e.Appointment.Attributes("fileUpload")
            submitArea.Controls.Add(link1)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

when I select a date from the calander it opens the edit event (appointment) window I can see all the details but no button or link for the file dl

see attached

[Peter]

Hi mike,

I think the event is not wired properly, so FormCreated is not handled at all. Can you attach to this event from the designer and paste the code in the event handler. Usually, the event handler will be auto generated and wired with 'Handles RadScheduler1.FormCreated '. For example:

Protected Sub RadScheduler1_FormCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs) Handles RadScheduler1.FormCreated
  End Sub

All the best,

Hi,

As Peter explained, you should modify your code as follows:

Protected Sub RadScheduler1_FormCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs) Handles RadScheduler1.FormCreated
    If e.Container.Mode = SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedEdit OrElse e.Container.Mode = SchedulerFormMode.AdvancedInsert Then
        Dim submitArea As Panel = TryCast(e.Container.FindControl("ButtonsPanel").Parent, Panel)
        Dim link1 As New HyperLink()
        link1.Text = "upload file"
        link1.NavigateUrl = e.Appointment.Attributes("fileUpload")
        submitArea.Controls.Add(link1)
    End If
End Sub
