kendo.toString formatted date not rendering

[sitefinitysteve]

This is my template

<script id="itemTemplate" type="text/html">
    # if(data.IsSandbox){ #
        <div class="draft">
    # } else {#
         <div class="live">
    # } #
       # if(data.IsSandbox){ #
            <strong class="text-info">#: Name # (#: ProgramDesignID #)</strong>
        # } else {#
            <strong class="text-success">#: Name # (#: ProgramDesignID #)</strong>
        # } #

        <div class='detailcontainer'>
            <div class='date'>
                # kendo.toString(kendo.parseDate(data.DateDetails.StartDate), "dd/MM/yyyy"); #
            </div>
            <div class='details'>
                #: Details.ProgramName #
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</script>

So nothing shows up in the .date DIV...

If I change that line to be
# console.log(kendo.toString(kendo.parseDate(data.DateDetails.StartDate), "dd/MM/yyyy")); #

The JS console in my browser shows all the dates properly formatted for me...why are they not rendering as strings in the template?

Hi Steve,

# <something> # executes code. #= <something # or #: <something> # renders the returned value. This is part of the Kendo template fundamentals which you can read here.

<div class='date'>
  #= kendo.toString(kendo.parseDate(data.DateDetails.StartDate), "dd/MM/yyyy"); #
</div>

Already tried that...if there's a #= or #: code just seems to silently fail

Hi Steve,

I tried to reproduce the issue in a sample page but to no avail. Could you please check it and let me know what I am missing?

GAH!  I didn't even SEE that there...the Linter doesn't pick that up does it?

Hello Steve,

I am not sure which linter are you using, but you can test it and see if it works or not. In general linters do not work well inside Kendo UI Templates.
