[Solved] AppointmentTemplate and Schedule as a Service

[SolutionStream]

We are working with the Schedule control in our MVC project as a Service and need to do some AppointmentTemplate work.  Does this work?  Where would you put the AppointmentTemplate definition for the service to be able to use it?

Hi Kier,

Templates are not supported in Web Service binding mode for RadScheduler.

As this is required by the design of our product, do you have a schedule of, if and or when this might become available so that we can adjust our schedules?

Hi Kier,

We might be able to provide you with a client side workaround. Please, specify what exactly you need to achieve.


All the best,

I think I may have just found that workaround myself.  I was needing to put the following into the appointment:

AptType:                                              UserType: UserName

ClientId ClientName Phone                  AptStatus: Date UserName

 

I.e.

Consultation:                                        Consultant: John York

2399 Bill Stevens  801-555-1212         Appointment Set: 07/13/08 by Sara Douglas

I was able to achieve this by putting all this into a series of tables and div tags into the subject property.  It now looks like it should.  Does this sound like an ok solution?

[Peter]

Yes, that's a nice solution. Thank you for posting it in the forum.

One other question on this, I am able to override the title of my subject table title (tool tip) but cannot see a way to override the default tooltip that is in an appointment.

The result is, users that hover over my table see a nice title whereas users who hover over the delete or any other part of the appointment see my ugly html code that was placed in the subject field.

Ideas?

Hi Kier,

Have you tried overriding the Tooltip in AppointmentDataBound like this:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Appointment.ToolTip = String.Empty;
    }

If this does not help, please send us the code of your implementation so we can test it locally.

I did, but it seems that it does not get called when running as a service.

Update:

I did some searching and found this post: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/colorpicker-scheduler.aspx that indicated that when using a service, we should use OnClientAppointmentCreated

When using this, I would like to take advantage of the new "Implemented support for custom appointment classes" feature found in the latest 2009.1.527 build.  Do you know of any documentation for this?

Hello Kier,

You can now use the resource-based appointment styling when implementing both server-side and Web Service data binding. The rules are defined in the same manner, as described here:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/appearance-setting-appointment-style.html
http://blogs.telerik.com/tsvetomirtsonev/posts/09-04-08/easy_appointment_styling_with_radscheduler_for_asp_net_ajax.aspx

You'll still need to handle the onClientAppointmentCreated event If you need to apply styles based on custom rules. The client-side appointment object has a set_cssClass method that you can use for that purpose.
