Edit Popup Template Name ignored???

[Marcel]

This worked in .NET 4. not so in Core. Is there an alternative to custom popup templates ???

.ToolBar(toolBar => {toolBar.Create();})
.Editable(e => { e.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp); e.TemplateName("MaterialEdit");})
.Navigatable()

Hello Marcel,

Also, I can suggest checking if using the following syntax will work:

.Editable(ed => ed.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).TemplateName("MeterialEdit"))

If this still does not work, please provide us with a runnable example reproducing the issue and I will gladly assist.

I have the same issue. I opened a support ticket with a runnable example attached.

Still posting here in the forum. Maybe someone else has already found a solution for this or knows what I am doing wrong.

If a staff member reads this, feel free to close my ticket and reply here (so that other benefit from the knowledge too).

Regards,

Hannes

Hello, Hannes,

I noticed that my colleague has already provided an answer to the question.

The main point is that the editor templates have to be placed inside the following folder:

"Views/Shared/EditorTemplates"

I noticed that there are additional questions. Once the ticket is fully resolved, we can add the additional beneficial information in this thread as well.

Is there any way to handle an invalid template name? 

I'm trying to prevent the popup window from using the default edit template if the grid has been given an editor template name that does not exist in the EditorsTemplate directory. 

[Viktor Tachev]

Hello Cloca,

By default when popup edit mode is enabled for the Grid the editor will be created using EditorForModel. If you would like to have a custom popup editor for the Grid I would suggest using an approach similar to the one illustrated in the example below:

Hello Viktor, 
Thank you for getting back to me.  I am already using a custom popup editor for my grids and they are working perfectly! 

My issue is occurs when I provide my grids with an invalid EditorTemplate name, say "Person2" instead of "Person" looking at your example. 
What I am trying to do in the situation above is to display an error message.  However instead what happens is a default form appears with all of my models fields.  Is there a way to solve this problem? 



I've also attached an image to help explain.  I would normally like to display FeeCalculatorCategoryTemplate, but if the template name changes to a template name that is not found I would like to display ErrorMessageEditTemplate instead. 

[Viktor Tachev]

Hello Cloca,


The templates that are used are handled by the framework. When a template name is set the framework will look for a partial view with that name in the EditorTemplates folder. If such file is not found .NET will fallback and use the default editors.

Ok, thank you for getting back to me!

I cant get the popup template to work in asp.net core 2.2 with tag helper 

it shows the template name in popup in sted of the  template

 the template is in Views/Shared/EditorTemplates

[Viktor Tachev]

Hello Christian,

The template used in the TagHelper should be specified in a script tag.

<editable mode="popup" template-id="editTemplate" />

<script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="editTemplate">
    custom popup template
</script>

Check out the article below that describes how such a template can be created. The article is about the Kendo Grid for jQuery, however, the approach for creating a custom popup editor will be the same with the TagHelper.

Hi, i've setted the full path to my template view and it's work.

TemplateName("~/Areas/(FunctionalArea)/Views/Shared/EditorTemplate/(templatename).cshtml")

HI

I got the abnormal situation about .NET Core Grid popup edit with Editor Templates : 

First, the custom editor (EditorTemplates/.cshtml) was found
(Start debugging could enter breakpoint of the view).

But the View's this.Model* property is always null.

*View's this.Model property will be a empty instance of the model in ASP.NET MVC.

View

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<TViewModel1>()
      .Name("...")
      ...
     .Editable(editable =>
     {
       editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp);
       editable.TemplateName("Editor1");
       editable.Window(window => window.Title("...").Width(700));
     })
     ...

Editor Templates/Editor.cshtml

@(Html.Kendo().TextBoxFor(model => model.ProductID))  <--- Model is null, page rendering terminated


Why the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core xx 2019 Example have no such example ??

Is there have the official example about Grid Popup Editing with the custom Editor Templates of .NET Core 2.2 or more.

*Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise 16.2.
*Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core R2 2019.
*.NET Core 2.2.

Best regards

Chris

Hello Chris,

 

We have an example showing how a custom popup editor can be used in the UI for ASP.NET Core Grid widget. It can be downloaded from our GitHub repository by following the link below.

https://github.com/telerik/ui-for-aspnet-core-examples/tree/master/grid/grid-custom-popup-editor/WebApplication1

 

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
