I thought I'd offer a potential solution to a problem that took me awhile to solve.  Perhaps the Kendo team will consider exposing a method that will make this easier in the future.

I have a search form with a text field and two radio buttons.  The radio buttons are labelled "User ID" and Username."  The user searches for other users in the system by selecting the appropriate criteria by which to search (userid or username) and typing their text in the field.  What I wanted was to provide autocomplete suggestions that pertained to the search criteria.  So if the user has selected Username, the suggestions will be a list of usernames.

Here's how I did it.

JSON pseudo-code of datasource
suggestions: {
   userIds: [],
   userNames: []
}

$(document).ready(function ()
{
    $(":radio").bind('click', setAutoComplete);
    initSuggestions();
}

var initSuggestions = function()
{
    suggestionDS.one('change', function()
    {
          // suggestions is a global variable allowing us to hit
        // this datasource only once.
        suggestions = suggestionDS.data();
        $("#textField").kendoAutoComplete( suggestions.userIds );        
    });
    suggestionDS.read();
}

var setAutoComplete = function()
{    
    // Grab a reference to the autoComplete
    var ac = $("#textField").data("kendoAutoComplete");
    
    // Remove all of its suggestions
    ac.options.dataSource.splice(0, ac.options.dataSource.length);
    
    // Get the correct array based on the user's radio button selection
    var arr = $(":radio:checked").val() == "userIds" ? suggestions.userIds : suggestions.userNames;
    
    // Push all of the elements onto the autocomplete's datasource.
    for( x in arr )
    {
        ac.options.dataSource.push(arr[x]);
    }
}

I have two pages.

The parent: /Main/Home.aspx

The child modal: /Main/MoveJob.aspx

The modal window is a simple form with a Submit button.  The parent opens modal window. When the modal window’s submit button is pressed, the browsers URL is incorrectly redirected to the modal window’s URL.

Parent’s Code is as follows:

Hi,

Your site's login is not compatible with www.lastpass.com and that makes the use of your site very inconvenient.  Do you have plans to use something more compatible for your credentials popup?

Thanks!

PS: Using Safari on a Mac with latest LastPass for Safari.

Hi!

KendoUI is fantastic, however one problem. I am trying to set a custom template on a column chart for its tooltip, however it seems to be unable to find the fields specified.

Datasource:

Code:

The 'Max' and when changed 'Capacity' renders correct columns. But the template can't find either fields and throws a NullReferenceException.


Thanks in advance for your pro-tips ;-) !

Finest regards.

Hi,

I would like to know how to display no record not found while using the KENDO grid. Assuming there are not data in the db.

Regards,

I like behavior of Panel Bar in your demos (http://demos.kendoui.com/web/overview/index.html). Injecting content, persisting selected panelbar item etc. Is there source code? In Kendo download pack is this part of demo simplified.

Thank you.

I need to be able to get to the url that is called by the grid after filtering, sorting operations. It would be great if you would expose the url parser that is currently internal so i can use it to save history for browser back operations.

Hi,

I'm having trouble initializing the menu control from JSON. Using the code from the example:


The menu doesn't show up. I have tried this using <ul id="menu"></ul> as well as <div id="menu"></div> thinking that maybe it had to be an unordered list, but I can't make it work.

When I check the generated page, I can see that there is some kind of attempt to create the menu, but the items from the JSON aren't populated. As seen in web inspector:

Using the jQuery plugin: http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload causes some quirks. If you don't specify a container for the plugin, only the visible images on the screen are loaded, scolling down on a splitter pane shows that any other that were not originally visible are not loaded.

Specify the ID of the pane with the scrollbars + images causes them to all load at once. Changing the pixel threshold does not fix this either.

Has anyone else managed to get images to lazy load with any jQuery plugin with a scrollable splitter pane?

Hi

I'm trying to do a DataSource synchronize with the server, like in the Video
"Get Started With The Kendo UI DataSource".
My Forms works correctly, the grid show me the data correctly and I can Update an Delete well.
The problem is when I send the info from inputs to the file that processes. I'm using PHP and I send the info by POST but I don´t receive anything.

Here´s the code for the inputs, is the same that in the video:

 $(document).ready(function() {
                $("#splitter").kendoSplitter();
                
                dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource ({
                   transport: {
                       read: {
                           url: "data/instituciones.php"
                       },
                       /*create: {
                           url: "data/instituciones.php",
                           type: "PUT"
                       },*/
                       update: {
                           url: "data/prueba.php",
                           type:"POST"
                       },
                       /*destroy:{
                           type:"DELETE"
                       }*/
                   },
                   schema: {
                       data:"data",
                       model: {
                           id:"id_Inst",
                           fields:{
                               nombre:{validation:{required: true}},
                               tipo:{validation:{required: true}}
                           }
                       }
                   }
                });
                
                var selected;
                
                $("#institucion").kendoGrid({
                    dataSource:dataSource,
                    selectable:true,
                    navigable:true,
                    change: function(){
                        var id = this.select().data("id");
                        selected = this.dataSource.get(id);
                        
                        this.dataSource.options.transport.destroy.url = "data/instituciones" + id;
                        this.dataSource.options.transport.update.url = "data/instituciones" + id;
                        
                        $("#cambiarNombre").val(selected.get("nombre"));
                        $("#cambiarTipo").val(selected.get("tipo"));
                    }
                });
                
                $("#crearInst").click(function(){
                    dataSource.add({nombre: $("#nombreInst").val(), tipo: $("#tipoInst").val()});
                    dataSource.sync();
                    
                    $("#nombreInst").val('');
                    $("#tipoInst").val('');
                    dataSource.read();
                });
                
                $("#update").click(function(){
                    selected.set("nombre", $("#cambiarNombre").val());
                    selected.set("tipo", $("#cambiarTipo").val());
                    dataSource.sync();
                });
                
                $("#delete").click(function(){
                    dataSource.remove(selected);
                    dataSource.sync();
                })
            });
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="wrapper">
            <div id="splitter">
                <div id="left">
                    <div class="inner">
                        <h3>Create</h3>
                        <dl>
                            <dt>Nombre:</dt>
                            <dd><input type="text" id="nombreInst" name="nombreInst"></dd>
                            <dt>Tipo:</dt>
                            <dd><input type="text" id="tipoInst" name="tipoInst"></dd>
                            <dd><button id="crearInst">Crear</button></dd>
                        </dl>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div id="middle">
                    <div id="rigth-top">
                        <div class="inner">
                            <div id="grid">
                                <table id="institucion">
                                    <tr>
                                        <th data-field="nombre">Nombre</th>
                                        <th data-field="tipo">Tipo</th>
                                    </tr>
                                </table>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div id="right">
                    <h3>Edit</h3>
                    <dl>
                        <dt>Nombre:</dt>
                        <dd><input  type="text" id="cambiarNombre" name="cambiarNombre"/></dd>
                        <dt>Tipo:</dt>
                        <dd><input  type="text" id="cambiarTipo" name="cambiarTipo"/></dd>
                        <dd><span><button id="update">Actualizar</button><button id="delete">Borrar</button></span></dd>
                    </dl>

And the code used in PHP:

<?php
    
    include 'conexion.php';
    header("Content-type: application/json");
    
    $con = conexion();    
    
    $verb = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];
    
    if ($verb == "GET") {
    $data = array();
    $query = pg_query($con, "SELECT * FROM \"Institucion\"");
    
    while ($rows = pg_fetch_object($query)) {
        $data[] = $rows;
    }
    
    
    echo "{\"data\":" .json_encode($data). "}";
    }
    
    if ($verb == "POST") {
        
        $id = $_POST["id_Inst"];
        $nombre = $_POST["cambiarNombre"];
        $tipo = $_POST["cambiarTipo"];
        
        $rs = pg_query($con, "UPDATE \"Institucion\" SET nombre = '$nombre' WHERE id_Inst = ".$id) or die(pg_last_error($con));
        
        echo json_encode($rs);
        
    }

?>

The query runs perfectly but in the field "nombre" I dont receive data so I guess that I have problems sending the info from the inputs maybe in the DataSource I dont know.
Someone can help me?

Thanks a lot,
