How to display reccurrence pattern in EditorTemplate?

[Allan]

Hello,

I am having an issue, where I am not able to display the reccurence pattern in my cusom EditorTemplate. 

The pattern is being read fine from my database, and the tasks are being shown correctly in the Scheduler. The recurrence is just not being showed, when I click on a task - see picture 1 (danish). I want to display the recurrence, like shown in the Scheduler demo - see picture 2.

The reccurrence pattern is being read from my database, and is bound via a string property to the Html.Kendo().RecurrenceEditorFor.

 

Hope you can help me.

 

<!-- RECCURENCE -->
    <div class="k-edit-label">
        @(Html.LabelFor(model => model.RecurrenceRule, "Gentagelser"))
    </div>
    <div data-container-for="recurrencerule" class="k-edit-field">
        @(Html.Kendo().RecurrenceEditorFor(model => model.RecurrenceRule)
        .Name("recurrenceEditor")
        .HtmlAttributes(new { data_bind = "value:recurrencerule" })
        )
    </div>

Hi Allan,

From the snippet sent I can notice that you are explicitly setting Name() for the RecurrenceEditor HTML helper. Overriding the default name which comes with the strongly typed expression (...For()) may result in binding issues as observed. That is why it should always be avoided.

Apart from that, the data_bind attribute should point to the correctly spelled field, as provided by the Scheduler event. Here is the correct definition of the editor:

@(Html.Kendo().RecurrenceEditorFor(model => model.RecurrenceRule)
        .HtmlAttributes(new { data_bind = "value:recurrenceRule" }))

If you face any further issues with the Scheduler custom editor, I would recommend you to consult the following example:
