Hello,

I looked at the view-demo (local view/remote view) and would like to know, if it is preferably to keep all the views in a mobile app in one single large file - if possible - or better to split them up in separate files? What is best practice? Any concerns when using Phonegap?

Thanks in advance

Modal Window with fixed width not centered when the window is resized

My application features many modals, all with different widths. I understand you can set the width of a modal inline by doing something like:width: 400px margin-left: -200px;This works when the window is at 100%, but if you resize the window and it gets down to a small enough width the window is now -200px off of the screen. If I don't use margin-left: -200px then the window is not centered on the page at all.

In summary, I want to be able to set different widths to my modal windows, have them center on the screen when opened, and if the screen is resized the modal window needs to slide and stay in the center of the screen.

There has to be a more effieicent way to center these modal windows...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Datasource in tree

Hello there.
I am using kendo Mvc Ui on my application.
In my scenario I have to used a tree view on the left side, and on the right the details section. when i click a node from the tree view, on details section it will show its details.

It is fine upto now, now the problem is like I need to show records from two tables on the tree.
Like, I have a sector table, Id and Name, another table category is Id, SectorId and name.
So now I have to bind the grid as

Sector1

Category1

Category2

Category2-1

category2-2

Sector2

Category1

Category2

Category2-1

category2-2

and it is based on ajax data source.

here is my configurations

@(Html.Kendo().TreeView()

.Name("categoryList")

.DataTextField("Name")

.DragAndDrop(true)

.DataSource(ds =>

{

// ds.Read("ajaxCateegoryList", "category");

ds.Read(read => read.Action("ajaxCateegoryList", "category"));

})

.Events(evt =>

{

evt.Expand("expandHandler");

evt.Select("selectedHandler");

})

)

My controller

public JsonResult ajaxCateegoryList(string id)

{

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(id))

id = Request.QueryString["id"];

var cats = new List<Category>();

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(id))

cats = _categoryService.GetAllCategoriesByParentCategoryId(Convert.ToInt64(id)).ToList();

else

cats = _categoryService.getAllParentCategories();

var model = cats.Select(x =>

{

return new

{

id = x.Id,

Name = x.Name,

hasChildren = _categoryService.GetAllCategoriesByParentCategoryId(x.Id).Count > 0

};

});

return Json(model, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

}

This one is being used for only category navigation. I m clue less how to make it sector base from ajax datasource, I means how the tree will understand what is sector and what is category.

Hierarchy Grid from one object

I have an object that is nested, and want to have a grid that shows a hierarchy from that, without (as the examples are shown) ajax to get the data for each parent. Is that possible?

For example
The object (Authors) with a Books Collection.

I don't want to query through to an object to get the books for each author, rather I've already got it.

Does the hierarchy require Ajax calls via DataSource()?

jquery.min.js to jquery-min.js

Hi,
can you please change jquery.min to jquery-min in the next upgrade?

it will help anyone who uses MVC as jquery-min is loaded first by default.

P.S.
of course there is a workaround but it is still better to have the defaults synchronized

Adjusting product quantity in a listview

Hi All,

I have a listview that binds to a list of products. Products have a quantity property, which will be specified by users.
I'd like to allow user to adjust quantity using "-" or "+" buttons. Basically, something like this:

Product Name - (10) +

Could anyone help me with this? A jsfiddle snippet would be perfect.

Thanks,

ListView (Mobile)

Viewport settings

Hi,

I'm trying to build a site to 640px wide and have it scale to the width of whichever device you're using. I'm currently testing on a Galaxy Nexus, at 480px wide and of course it's not displaying the entire width of my site.

I see that Kendo sets the viewport meta itself and that it's ill-advised to override it, but is there another way to achieve this?

Regards,
K.

Override Create/Edit buttons

Hi,

I'm using the grid control in my MVC 4 application to display selected columns of records.

I don't want to edit or create items from the grid, (i.e.the grid's built in popup/inline capabilities)

I want to transition to another page to do my creates and edits.

Can I override the default behavior of the create and edit buttons?

Below is an example of my grid:

$(function () {

// select the employeesGrid empty div and call the

// kendoGrid function to transform it into a grid

var grid = $("#employeesGrid").kendoGrid({

// specify the columns on the grid

columns: [

{ title: "", template: "<input type='checkbox' />" },

{ field: "FirstName", title: "First Name" },

{ field: "LastName", title: "Last Name" },

"Title",

"City",

{ field: "BirthDate", title: "Birthday", template: '#= kendo.toString(BirthDate,"MM/dd/yyyy") #' },

{ command: ["edit", "destroy"], title: " " }

],

// the datasource for the grid

dataSource: new kendo.data.DataSource({

// the transport tells the datasource what endpoints

// to use for CRUD actions

transport: {

read: "api/employees",

update: {

// get the id off of the model object that

// kendo ui automatically passes to the url function

url: function (employee) {

return "api/employees/" + employee.Id

},

type: "POST"

},

destroy: {

// get the id off of the model object that

// kendo ui automatically passes to the url function

url: function (employee) {

return "api/employees/" + employee.Id

},

type: "DELETE"

},

parameterMap: function (options, operation) {

// if the current operation is an update

if (operation === "update") {

// create a new JavaScript date object based on the current

// BirthDate parameter value

var d = new Date(options.BirthDate);

// overwrite the BirthDate value with a formatted value that WebAPI

// will be able to convert

options.BirthDate = kendo.toString(new Date(d), "MM/dd/yyyy");

}

// ALWAYS return options

return options;

}

},

// the schema defines the schema of the JSON coming

// back from the server so the datasource can parse it

schema: {

// the array of repeating data elements (employees)

data: "Data",

// the total count of records in the whole dataset. used

// for paging.

total: "Count",

model: {

id: "Id",

fields: {

// specify all the model fields, along with validation rules and whether or

// not they can be edited or nulled out.

FirstName: { editable: false },

LastName: { editable: true, nullable: false, validation: { required: true } },

Address: { editable: true, nullable: false, validation: { required: true } },

City: { editable: true, nullable: false, validation: { required: true } },

BirthDate: { editable: true, type: "date" }

}

},

// map the errors if there are any. this automatically raises the "error"

// event

errors: "Errors"

},

error: function (e) {

console.log(e.statusText);

},

// the number of records to show per page

pageSize: 3,

// do paging on the server

serverPaging: true

}),

// paging is enabled in the grid

pageable: true,

// editing happens inline, one row at a time.

editable: "popup",

groupable: true

}).data("kendoGrid");

});

axisLabelClick - Change Cursor

I apologize if this is listed somewhere but I cannot find it. Is there a way to have the cursor change to a pointer on the Axis Label? Specifically if the axisLabelClick is enabled then it would be nice if the cursor changes.
