Adding form fields dynamically via ajax using popup editor

My popup editor contains a dropdown list which fires an onchange event which populates the form with additional custom fields specific to the dropdown value. When the form is submitted, these custom fields do not show up in the FormCollection.

I am guessing the problem lies in the fact that these dynamically added fields are somehow not initialized properly?

[Solved] Grid pager arrows are not showing

Hi,

We are using the Grid with sever binding and this works fine on our development environment with both IE8 and IE9.

However, on the corporate network the laptops must have different security settings because the Pager arrows are not displaying.

We have tracked this down to css file refering to a domain called cloudforce.net

Turns out this file was produced by the Theme builder.

The documentation on kendoui.com must be wrong as it says "Just copy the CSS output to a .css file and include it in your page." and has no mention of references to cloudforce.net?

Hierarchical data source with same model at each level

Hi:

I am attempting to create a multi-level menu structure that is embodied in a treeview. I have the same model at each level. A simple example with two levels is not working. (See below)

Controller:

public JsonResult JsonIndex()

{

var menus = _db.GetMenus( 0, 1, 1, 0 );

var allMenus = from m in menus

where m.MenuId == 1

select new

{

Name = m.MenuName,

ImageUrl = m.MenuImageUrl,

NavUrl = m.MenuNavUrl,

hasChildren = true,

children = from m2 in menus

where m2.ParentMenuId == m.MenuId

select new

{

Name = m2.MenuName,

ImageUrl = m2.MenuImageUrl,

NavUrl = m2.MenuNavUrl,

hasChildren = false,

}

};

JsonResult json = Json( allMenus, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet );

return ( json );

}

cshtml:

<script>

$(document).ready(function () {

function populateTreeView() {

var remoteDataSource = new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({

type: "json",

transport: {

read: "Home/JsonIndex"

},

schema: {

model: {

text: "Name",

ImageUrl: "ImageUrl",

expanded: true,

children: "children",

hasChildren: "hasChildren",

NavUrl: "NavUrl"

}

});

$("#tv").kendoTreeView({

id: "tree123",

Name: "tree123",

dataSource: remoteDataSource,

dataTextField: "Name",

dataImageUrlField: "ImageUrl",

select: onTreeViewSelect

});

}

$(document).ready(function () {

populateTreeView();

});

</script>

The actual menu is more than two levels, but I can't even get this simple case to work. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Terry

Custom editor sizing

I successfully changed the width of the editor window using:

.Editable(ed => ed.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).TemplateName("PowerEditor")
.Window(w=> w.Title("Edit Power Details"))
.Window(w=>w.Width(700))
.Window(w => w.Height(400))

However I'm finding that there is a div inside the window where my template is hosted with a class of k-edit-form-container . In kendo.common.min.css this is setup with a width of 400. Without having to change the css file what would be the correct way to alter the width of that div element similar to what I have already done for the window element?

[Solved] Grid Item Details Won't Load

Hi,

I am trying to get a grid with hierarchical data working, where the item detail is another grid. So, I have a grid of "Carriers", and those Carriers all have a list of Comments. My carrier grid loads fine, however the details do no load. The sub-grid itself renders, but the Action never gets hit to load the data.

The project is an MVC 4 project created in Visual Studio 2012 using the Kendo UI for MVC template.

My Controller (The "facade" is simply a class that accesses my data layer and gets my objects, suffice to say, it returns an IList<Carrier> and IList<CarrierComment>)...

public class HomeController : Controller

{

//

// GET: /Home/

[HttpGet]

public ActionResult Index()

{

return View();

}

// Carrier Actions

//

// POST: /ReadCarriers/

[HttpPost]

public ActionResult CarrierRead([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)

{

try

{

var facade = new CarrierFacade();

IList<Carrier> carriers = facade.GetAllCarriers();

return Json(carriers.ToDataSourceResult(request));

}

catch (DbException ex)

{

ViewBag.ErrorMessage = ex.Message;

return View("Error");

}

// Comment Actions

//

// POST: /CommentRead/

[HttpPost]

public ActionResult CommentRead([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, int carrierId)

{

try

{

var facade = new CarrierFacade();

IList<CarrierComment> comments = facade.GetAllComments(carrierId);

return Json(comments.ToDataSourceResult(request));

}

catch (DbException ex)

{

ViewBag.ErrorMessage = ex.Message;

return View("Error");

}

My View....

@using HappyHolidays.WebPortal.BusinessObjects

@{

ViewBag.Title = "Carrier Directory";

}

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Carrier>()

.Name("grid")

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(p => p.Name).Groupable(false);

columns.Bound(p => p.Phone1).Groupable(false).Title("Primary Phone");

columns.Bound(p => p.Phone2).Groupable(false).Title("Secondary Phone");

columns.Bound(p => p.Fax).Groupable(false);

columns.Command(command =>

{

command.Edit();

command.Destroy();

});

})

.ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())

.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp))

.Groupable()

.Pageable()

.Sortable()

.Scrollable()

.Filterable()

.Selectable()

.Resizable(resize => resize.Columns(true))

.Reorderable(reorder => reorder.Columns(true))

.ClientDetailTemplateId("carrier-detail")

.DataSource(

dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.PageSize(50)

.Model(model =>

{

model.Id(p => p.CarrierId);

model.Field(p => p.CarrierId).Editable(false);

})

.Create(update => update.Action("CarrierCreate", "Home"))

.Update(update => update.Action("CarrierUpdate", "Home"))

.Destroy(update => update.Action("CarrierDelete", "Home"))

.Read(read => read.Action("CarrierRead", "Home"))))

<script id="carrier-detail" type="text/x-kendo-template">

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<CarrierComment>()

.Name("commentsGrid#=CarrierId#")

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(o => o.Comment);

columns.Bound(o => o.AddedBy);

columns.Bound(o => o.TimeStamp);

})

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.Read(read => read.Action("CommentRead", "Home", new { carrierID = "#=CarrierId#" }))

)

.Pageable()

.Sortable()

.ToClientTemplate()

)

</script>

My layout page...

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>

<link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/2013.1.514/kendo.common.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/2013.1.514/kendo.dataviz.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/2013.1.514/kendo.metro.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/2013.1.514/kendo.dataviz.metro.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo/2013.1.514/jquery.min.js")"> </script>

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo/2013.1.514/kendo.all.min.js")"> </script>

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo/2013.1.514/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js")"> </script>

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo.modernizr.custom.js")"> </script>

</head>

<body>

<div>

@RenderBody()

</div>

</body>

</html>

As I said, the carriers grid loads fine, however when I expand a row, the comments grid is empty. If I place a break point at CommentsRead() in the controller, it never gets called. I am clearly missing a piece of the puzzle, but I can't figure it out and I've been at it for a day and a half.

Thanks,
Andy

[Solved] Iterating over object within grid data in the client detail template

Well, I'm back. Now I am having trouble displaying an object from the grid data in the client detail template. This object is returned from the database as a Dictionary in the Controller. This dictionary is just one data element in the Json being returned. The dictionary could have one or more key value pairs. I am using javascript to display this data and something fairly strange is happening.
First off, here is the client detail template code:

<script id="shipmentDetail-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">

--- lots of template code removed for brevity ---

# var myVal; var cr = data.CustomerReference; for (var key in cr) { if (cr.hasOwnProperty(key)) { myVal = cr[key]; # #= myVal # , # } } #

</script>

This is what is rendered:
object Object] , This is customer reference 1 , 0c7c9553-c7ba-4d6e-8f8a-11b060ad5db6 , function (){return i} ,
If I just display the key, here's what I get:
_events , ref1 , uid , parent ,

So I am getting other keys and values that I am not expecting.

There is only one element in the dictionary (data.CustomerReference) at this time. This is what the Json data looks like when it is sent to the view:
"CustomerReference":{"ref1":"This is customer reference 1"}

Remember this is just a small part of the Json data - here is a larger portion of it:

{"Data":[{"ReturnCode":1,"ReturnMessage":"","ShipmentKey":1,"OriginalABFlag":"A","TrackingNumber":"TrackingNumber1","IsGroundTrackingNumber":false,"GroundTrackingNumber":"GroundTrackingNumber1","Carrier":"Carrier1","DomIntlFlag":"A","DutyorTaxInfo":"DutyorTaxInfo1","ShipDate":"\/Date(1372136400000)\/","OpenClosedFlag":"OpenClosedFlag1","ClosedDate":"\/Date(1372136400000)\/","PostCCReports":"PostCCReports1","InvoiceInfo":{"InvoiceKey":1,"InvoiceNumber":"InvoiceNumber1","InvoiceDate":"\/Date(1372136400000)\/"},"ShipperInformation":{"Name":"Name1","Company":"Company1","Address":{"AddressType":"AddressType1","AddressLine1":"AddressLine11","AddressLine2":"AddressLine21","City":"City1","StateProvince":"StateProvince1","PostalCode":"PostalCode1","CountryCode":"CountryCode1"}},"RecipientInformation":{"Name":"Name1","Company":"Company1","Address":{"AddressType":"AddressType1","AddressLine1":"AddressLine11","AddressLine2":"AddressLine21","City":"City1","StateProvince":"StateProvince1","PostalCode":"PostalCode1","CountryCode":"CountryCode1"}},"OriginalInformation":{"Name":"Name1","Company":"Company1","Address":{"AddressType":"AddressType1","AddressLine1":"AddressLine11","AddressLine2":"AddressLine21","City":"City1","StateProvince":"StateProvince1","PostalCode":"PostalCode1","CountryCode":"CountryCode1"}},"PackageInfo":{"Service":"Service1","PackageDescription":"PackageDescription1","Pieces":1,"ActualWeight":{"WeightType":"X","Weight":1,"WeightUnit":""},"BilledWeight":{"WeightType":"X","Weight":1,"WeightUnit":""},"dimensions":{"DimUOM":"DimUOM1","DimLength":"DimLength1","DimWidth":"DimWidth1","DimHeight":"DimHeight1","DimWeight":1,"DimDivisor":"DimDivisor1"}},"PODInfo":{"PODDate":"\/Date(1372136400000)\/","PODSignature":"PODSignature1","MinutesEarlyLate":1},"ChargesInformationList":[],"OriginalAmount":1,"Credits":1,"Refunds":1,"AmountDue":1,"BillingInfo":{"PaymentMethod":"PaymentMethod1","BillToAccount":"BillToAccount1","CarrierZone":"CarrierZone1","ScanImagePage":1,"BundleNumber":"BundleNumber1","PaymentReference":"PaymentReference1","PaymentRefFileName":"PaymentRefFileName1","CostCenter":"CostCenter1","CostCenterMatchType":"CostCenterMatchType1"},"CustomerReference":{"ref1":"This is customer reference 1"},"ShipCarrierReference":{"carrierref1":"This is Carrier Reference 1"},"GMCInfo":{"GMCFee":0,"CostCenterKey":0,"GroupName":null,"InvoiceGroupName":null,"ExpectedDeliveryDate":null,"DisasterExceptionCode":null,"DimDivisor":null,"DocumentType":null}}
----removed for brevity----
],"Total":3,"AggregateResults":null,"Errors":null}

Any help in this matter is very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Donna

[Solved] Grid selection is not triggering Change event

I am using Kendo UI 2013.1.514.340 in combination with JQuery 2.0.0. I have configured a Grid with the Selectable option and configured a Change handler to pick up events. The handler is correctly picking up events when the Grid is created, refreshed, sorted, filtered, etc. However, selecting a row does not seem to fire an event as desired.

I saw several other posts asking whether or not there was a JQuery incompatibility. Some of those posts are older, and none were answered to confirm this.

I'd like to know if this is a known issue before I go to the trouble of ripping out 2.0.0 for some other version, presumably 1.8.2.

Help, please!
