All day aera does not grow correctly if there is an event template

[Sylvain]

Hi,

See this sample : http://dojo.telerik.com/UrayA/4. As you can see in the scheduler at the bottom, the scheduler's all day area does not layout the all day events correctly a template is used.

Is this a known issue? Will you fix it? Is there a workaround I could use on my side?

Thanks

Hi Sylvain,

Please note that the Scheduler day/week views doesn't support defining all day events template which increases the default event height. Possible solution is to extend the desired view (as demonstrated here) and override the methods which are responsible for positioning the all day events.
Also I would suggest to share your idea of adding support for bigger all day event templates at Kendo UI UserVoice to allow other users vote for it.

Hi Vladimir,

That's a lot of code for calculating the height of an event :) Can you put the same sample on http://dojo.telerik.com/. I don't have the environment to run your sample.

Thanks

Hi Sylvain,

The previously provided example is intended to demonstrate only how to extend given view - the code in your case would be only the methods that you need to override. Below you can find another example that shows how to extend given view:

• View with custom date range and swipe support

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, your code does not show me how to make the "all day" area grow. Can you provide a sample that does that?

Thanks

Hi Sylvain,

The provided example was intended to demonstrate only how to extend given view in order to override the build-in methods. Also currently we have no such example of making the "allDay" area grow which we can provide (we have planned to enable scrolling of the "allDay" area for Q2 2015 release) - in this case the developer is responsible for implementing and supporting the desired behavior.

Hi Vladimir,

Ok. I'll wait for  the new version. You guys should make it grow, not scroll.

Thanks

Hi Sylvain,

I would like to clarify that the "allDay" area already grows based on the default event height - in your case you should modify this calculation in order to support different event element height.

Hi Vladimir,

You are right. Note that from our point of view, the fact that you support custom templates for all-day event, but are unable to render them correctly is a bug. Simply making the font-size bigger can cause the issue. 

The capacity to scroll in the all-day will fix that bug, in the sense that any template will be supported. But growing the all-day
area would be better than using a scroll bar. I feel like the use of a scroll bar will make the user experience error prone because the user might fail to see that sometimes there's a scroll bar. Fitting the area to the content would ensure
that no events are ever hidden from the user.


Thanks

Hi Sylvain,

Thank you for your feedback - I informed our dev team about it and they will consider adding support for events with custom height as well. For updates on the matter I would suggest to regularly check our RoadMap.

Hello,

The suggested change still on our dev team queue and it's not reviewed yet (currently I can't be more specific about when and if it will be implemented). Also as I mention the best place to track for changes is the RoadMap page - when given feature is added it's listed in this page as well.

Hello Vladimir Iliev,

In your reply above you mentioned "(we have planned to enable scrolling of the "allDay" area for Q2 2015 release)"!

Is this done and released?

We really need it urgently!

Thank you.

Hi Nariman,

Please note that this feature was postponed for next official release due to features with higher priority. For updates on the matter I would suggest to regularly check our RoadMap.

Has there been a release for this issue? I cannot find anything in the documentation.

Hi Devin,

The discussed scrolling behaviour when allDayEventTemplates are used is yet not implemented, due to tasks with higher priority.

What I could suggest you in this case, is to create a Feature request in our Feedback portal, where other developers could vote for it. Based on the support the idea receives, we will decide on whether to proceed with its implementation or not.
