Hi All,

I'm having problems when trying to add a clickable hyperlink to my header template on my grid. The idea is to add a hyperlink with the text of ClientName from the dataitem that will call my controller and pass the ClientCode of the underlying data item.

 
.Columns(columns =>
{
    columns.Bound(u => u.ClientName)
           .ClientGroupHeaderTemplate(Html.ActionLink("\"<#= ClientName#>\"", "blalbalba", "blabla", new { clientCode = "<#= ClientCode #>" }).ToString());
    columns.Bound(u => u.Status).Width("50px").Title("Collat").ClientTemplate("<i class='#= Status ? 'fa fa-check fa-3x red-text' : 'fa' #'/>");
    columns.Bound(u => u.Quantity).Width("100px");
    columns.Bound(u => u.Security).Title("Security");
    columns.Bound(u => u.Value).Format("{0:C}")
        .ClientGroupFooterTemplate("#=kendo.toString(sum, '£0.00') #")
         .ClientFooterTemplate("#= kendo.toString(sum, '£0.00') #").Width("100px");
    columns.Bound(u => u.CollatValue).Format("{0:C}")
        .ClientGroupFooterTemplate("#=kendo.toString(sum, '£0.00') #")
        .ClientFooterTemplate("#= kendo.toString(sum, '£0.00') #").Title("Collat. Value").Width("100px");
 
})
.NoRecords("No records found")
.Pageable(pageable => pageable.Refresh(true))
.Sortable()
.Navigatable()
.AutoBind(true)
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Aggregates(aggregates =>
{
    aggregates.Add(p => p.Value).Sum();
    aggregates.Add(p => p.CollatValue).Sum();
}).Group(group => group.Add(x => x.ClientName))
.PageSize(100)

 

cheers

Hi Mark,

You can find the list with the fields which can be used in the groupHeaderTemplate here - http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#configuration-columns.groupHeaderTemplate

I'm trying something similar. In the ClientTemplate, you can access all other fields (see code below). Is there any way this is possible with the ClientGroupHeaderTemplate? From the documentation link, it seems the only value available is the value from the field that the column is bound to. In the below code for the ClientGroupHeaderTemplate, I can replace #=ContractName# with #=value#, but what do I need to change #=ContractId# to? I've debugged into the javascript as well, and the 'data' object doesn't seem to provide any other data.

 

c.Bound(x => x.ContractName).Title("Contract")
        .ClientTemplate(@Html.ActionLink("#=ContractName#", "Index", "Contract", new { ID = "#=ContractId#" }, null).ToHtmlString())
        .ClientGroupHeaderTemplate("Contract: " + @Html.ActionLink("#=ContractName#", "Index", "Contract", new { ID = "#=ContractId#" }, null).ToHtmlString());

Hi Tim,

When grouping by a field, only this field value is expected to have the same value for all data items. For the rest of the fields, there isn't a single value to return in the template. Therefore, the template contains an items variable, which contains all data items that belong to the group:
items - the data items for current group. Returns groups if the data items are grouped (in case there are child groups)

If your Grid is grouped by ContractName and there is one ContractId value per one ContractName, then it does not matter from which item in the group you will get the ContractId. You can try the following:
.ClientGroupHeaderTemplate("Contract: " + @Html.ActionLink("#=ContractName#", "Index", "Contract", new { ID = "#=items[0].ContractId#" }, null).ToHtmlString());

Hi Tim,

The information and code snippet I shared in my last post refer to the ClientGroupHeaderTemplate. Since R2 2017 release (2017.2.504), there is an items property in the groupHeaderTemplate (MVC ClientGroupHeaderTemplate), which contains the data items for the current group.
.ClientGroupHeaderTemplate("Contract: " + @Html.ActionLink("#=value #", "Index", "Contract", new { ID = "#=items[0].ContractId#" }, null).ToHtmlString());

If such a property is not available, then you are probably using an older version of Kendo UI and should consider upgrading to R2 2017 or newer.
