Get Scheduler timeslot on kendoDropTarget

[MiDAS]

In searching this forum I came across this post from 2013.... https://www.telerik.com/forums/get-scheduler-timeslot-on-kendodroptarget

It mentions that this may be implemented in a future release. I've not found any information that indicates this is possible. I'm looking at placing a series of div objects that represent different types of events (work, lunch, meeting, day-off etc) along side a Scheduler. A user will drag and drop a div onto a scheduler and that will create a scheduler event in the slot it was dropped onto. Is this possible?

Thanks

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to create an event by dragging a div. On this link you will find a simple Dojo example demonstrating a possible approach. The aspects of the example worth mentioning specifically is to define the div as a kendoDraggable widget, and to configure the Scheduler DropTargetArea in the dataBound event:

 

dataBound: function (e) {
    //create drop area from current View
    createDropArea(this);
},

 

 

function  createDropArea(scheduler) {
    scheduler.view().content.kendoDropTargetArea({
        filter: ".k-scheduler-table td, .k-event",
        drop: function(e){
            var offset = $(e.dropTarget).offset();
            var slot = scheduler.slotByPosition(offset.left, offset.top);
            var dataItem = $("#draggable").text();
            if(dataItem && slot) {
                var offsetMiliseconds = new Date().getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;
                var newEvent = {
                    title: dataItem,
                    end: new Date(slot.startDate.getTime()  + 4*3600*1000),
                    start: slot.startDate ,
                };
                scheduler.dataSource.add(newEvent);
            }
        }
    });
}

 

I prepared the Dojo based upon the How To Drag and Drop between Kendo Grid and Scheduler article. We also have a How To Drag and Drop between two Schedulers. You can review those examples if you are interested in more complex implementation.
