GroupFooterTemplate and server wrappers

[Tom]

Can someone point me to an example of using the GroupFooterTemplate with the MVC Server Wrappers?

From what I can tell, this should work when I 'group by' any column:

.GroupFooterTemplate( f => "Sum: " + f.Sum )

Is there any other setup / configuration that's needed to make it work?

Edit:
I've add this to the DataSource as well without success

.Aggregates( a => a.Add(c => c.Quantity).Sum())

Hello Tom,


If a server binding is used in the current scenario, then this is the exact configuration, that should be used to specify a sum group footer template for the Quantity column i.e. add the required aggregates to the dataSource configuration and specify the template.

You could find a complete demo on server aggregates in the solution, which is included in your Kendo UI distribution. It is in the /wrappers/aspnetmvc/Examples folder.

Dimiter,

Your answer pointed me in the right direction.  There are different templates based on whether your using Ajax() or Server() in your DataSource.  We're using Ajax() and with ClientFooterTemplate / ClientGroupFooterTemplate everything shows-up the way it should.

Thank you!
