How to prevent Schedule event overlap

[Jsn]

Hi, 
I just want to know if there is a way to prevent scheduled event overlap on Kendo scheduler?.. e.g. If a user has an event on 7:00 am to 10am,  adding new event that conflict on that time will prevent adding this new event schedule in the scheduler. . Is it possible?
By the way I'm using the trial version 2013.2.716.. Is it supported on the trial version? if not, how about on the licensed one, does this kind of functionality supported?

Thanks.

Regards,
Jesson

Hello Jesson,

I'm afraid that this is not supported with the current version of our scheduler widget. However, it will be possible to implement such restrictions with the official version (Q2 2013 SP1 release) of KendoUI Scheduler.

Hi Rosen,

Okay,Thanks!.. I also want to ask if moveStart,move and moveEnd event is also supported in trial version 2013.2.716 which I'm using right now.. Because this event will never get fired when I try to used it. Or maybe, this event is only supported on the paid licensed? Am I right.?.

Hi Jesson,

Indeed, as I already mentioned in your other post on this, the moveStart/move/moveEnd as well as the resizeStart/resize/resizeEnd events are not part of the 2013.2.716 release. Those events are introduced in the latest internal builds and will be publicly available when the beta tag is removed from the Scheduler widget  with the KendoUI Q2 2013 SP1 release.

I achieved this on the server side by doing this:

schedule newEvent;//This contains the info you are trying to schedule

var repeated= (from a in db.schedules where (a.startDate <= newEvent.endDate && a.endDate >= newEvent.startDate  && a.idSchedule!=newEvent.idSchedule) select a);
if (!repeated.Any())
{
      //save new event      
}
else{
return null or something that shows that there is a conflict
}

if you receive null do a dataSource.cancelChanges()

Hope it helps

Hello Camilo,

Yes, I did the same way as you did. I do it in the server side.
Anyway, Thanks.. Your code snippet might help others when they encountered the same issue as mine.

Hello Rosen, 

Now that time has passed and the new release is out. Can you point me in the direction of the documentation for implementing a restriction which would disallow a user to create an event that overlaps with another event for the same resource (such as a RoomId)?

Hi Chase,

You can find such sample on our online demos site here.
