Hi folks, I have been trying to figure out why my KendoUI grid will not call the controller when attempting to batch save.  As part of my troubleshooting, I created a number of ActionResults with different parameters and breakpointing in each one, hoping that I would hit one of these breakpoints.  No matter what method that I use in my view to call the controller to save, nothing happens.

I have two cascading Kendo DropDownLists (which work fine), and upon the user selecting an item in the second DropDownList, I populate a KendoUI grid via JSON.  The user can then fill in the New Rate field to whatever they want, and finally click a save button to batch update.  The user can increase (and later decrease, when I implement it) a percentage across the board via a TextBox and button.

I come from the ASPX and WinForms world, so jQuery and javascript in general are not my strong suits.

Here is the pertinent source code.  I added some javascript alerts, to help troubleshoot.  Note that the Kendo and jQuery scripts are referenced in a layout page as follows:
       <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.8.3.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
       <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo.web.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

I have a very simple listview bound to an items array in a very simple viewmodel.  The listview also has a click binding.  At first I thought that the click handler was not getting the dataitem but there is something else going on.  Before each item in the listview another row is being rendered.  Clicking this row gets us our dataitem.  Clicking the row with the item name in it does not.

Much easier if you see it so here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/HRuvg/

Clicking on the actual item doesn't work but if you click on the space above each item, it fires properly.   I must be missing something obvious because it doesn't get any simpler that this.

I am trying to change the DashType on each line in the series and it is not working... no matter what i change it to... it remains solid....

I was able to change the DashType on CategoryAxis and ValueAxis however... fyi... See sample code below:

@(Html.Kendo().Chart()
.Name("SalesDollarsChart")
.Title("Sales by Fiscal Week")
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 500px;  width: 1150px;" })
.Legend(legend => legend.Position(ChartLegendPosition.Bottom))
.ChartArea(chartArea => chartArea.Background("transparent"))
.Series(series =>
{
series.Line(new double[] { 15.7, 16.7, 20, 23.5, 26.6, 15.7, 16.7, 20, 23.5, 26.6 }).Name("TY Sales $").Color("Red").DashType(ChartDashType.LongDashDotDot);
series.Line(new double[] { 47.96, 48.93, 55, 54, 58, 47.96, 48.93, 55, 54, 58 }).Name("LY Sales $").Color("Blue").DashType(ChartDashType.Dot);
series.Line(new double[] { 75.7, 76.7, 80, 83.5, 86.6, 75.7, 76.7, 80, 83.5, 86.6 }).Name("TY On Hand $").Color("Green").DashType(ChartDashType.Dot);
series.Line(new double[] { 37.96, 38.93, 45, 44, 48, 37.96, 38.93, 45, 44, 48 }).Name("LY On Hand $").Color("Purple").DashType(ChartDashType.Dot);
})
.CategoryAxis(axis => axis
.Categories("5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14")
.MajorGridLines(ml => ml.DashType(ChartDashType.Solid)))
.ValueAxis(axis => axis
.Numeric()
.Labels(labels => labels.Format("{0}%"))
.Min(0)
.Max(100)
.MajorUnit(10)
.MinorUnit(5)
.MajorGridLines(ml => ml.DashType(ChartDashType.Solid)))

Dear Kendo UI Team,

I have been studying the KendoUI Web examples and currently having problems getting data from a remote XML feed. Here's the example that I'm refering to Binding to XML Data and below is my code. I simply replace the source from local to Books.xml on the demo site.

Code:

When I load the page, I don't get any data. Also, how can I see errors? Is there some code examples to display errors? Please advice. Thanks.

Gabe

What is the proper way to edit items in a listview when using Kendo UI Mobile & MVVM?

I don't get the expected results when using the following:

HTML

<div id="itemsView"
    data-role="view"
    data-model="vm">

    <ul data-role="listview" data-bind="source: items" 
                             data-template="itemsTemplate">
    </ul>
    <script id="itemsTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    <li>
        #=Name#
    </li>
    </script>

    <input type="text" data-bind="value: newValue" />
    <button data-role="button" data-bind="click: update">update</button>
</div>​

JavaScript

var vm = kendo.observable({
    items: [{
        Name: "Item1"}],
    newValue: '',
    update: function(e) {
        var item = this.get("items")[0];
        item.set("Name", this.get("newValue"));
        //adding the follwoing line makes it work as expected
        kendo.bind($('#itemsView'), vm);
    }
});

kendoApp = new kendo.mobile.Application(document.body, {
transition: "slide"});​

I expect the listview to reflect the change to the Name property of that item. Instead, a new item is added to the listview. Examining the array reveals that there is no additional item, and that the change was made. (re)Binding the view to the view-model updates the list to reflect the change. Re-Binding after a change like this doesn't seem to make any sense.

Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5aCYp/2/

Hello,

I am wondering if the following behavior is intentional, and if there is a work-around.

The behavior I am describing can be seen on your TreeView demo at the following: 
http://demos.kendoui.com/web/treeview/images.html

When working with the tree on the right 'TreeView with sprites', notice how highlighting and expanding collapsing nodes works. Any node I click on gets highlighted orange as it is in a selected state, regardless of whatever node I expand/collapse the selected state stays on the originally selected node and no appearance changes occur with any other nodes. Play around with this for a little. This is all good.

Now...

1) Select the 'index.html' node (under the 'Kendo UI Project' folder node)
        2) Collapse the 'Kendo UI Project' parent folder node
        3) Collapse the 'My Documents' root node
        4) Notice how the 'My Documents' root node gets a grey highlight
        5) Expand the 'My Documents' root node (grey highlight remains)
        6) Expand the 'Kendo UI Project' folder node
        7) Notice how the grey highlight now is removed from the root node, and you can see the original 'index.html' node is still selected

Or another scenario:

1) Refresh the web page
        2) Without selecting any nodes, collapse all nodes on tree
        3) Expand the 'My Documents' root node
        4) Notice how the 'My Documents' root node gets a grey highlight



What is with the root node getting highlighted grey?

Is that intentional?

Either way, is there a workaround way to stop this from occurring?


Thanks for your help!

How do I change the template that is used on the popup that is displayed when the Add New Record option is clicked on the Kendo Grid? For example, I would like to change the "Edit" title of the popup window as well as not display certain data items as editable, such as the ID. I've looked all over on the forums and cannot find any way to do this.

I got dataSource config
new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({
                   transport: {
                        read: {
                            url: '/getnodes'
                        }
                    },
                    schema: {
                        model: {
                            id: '_id'
                        }
                    }
                })

also I have a method wich provide adding nodes to treeview
addNode: function() {
     var tree = this.tree, //this.tree == $('#treeview').(/* config here */).data('kendoTreeView')
           sel = tree.select();

       /* some code here */

      $.ajax({
           url: '/addnode',
           data: {parent: parent},
           success: function(row) {
              el.append({
                        _id: row._id,
                        name: row.name
                    }, sel);
           }
      })
}

so what we have

node will added success, but afer - dataSource generate request to '/getnodes' and get it from database and render it to treeview
in result we have two same node in one brunch
please help to solve this problem

I've created a Kendo UI localization project in Github which localizes all texts in a single package for all controls in Kendo UI.

Unfortunately the Editor's OUTDENT text is not being localized.

You can find the issue in the Github tracker here: https://github.com/loudenvier/kendo-global/issues/2

You can download and run the test in the 3 languages and the only missing translation is the Outdent text.

Maybe it is a problem with the way I'm doing the translations on the project (the only way to accomplish that in a transparent manner was to change the prototype of the many widgets and "extend" the options with the translated texts - details can be found on the project). But since this is analogous to passing the options for each widget individually I believe the problem lies in the Kendo UI code which is not honoring the options.messages.outdent option.

UPDATE:

The attached zip file has a stand-alone html page which shows the bug by using only standard Kendo UI options for translating the 'indent' and 'outdent' messages. Now it is clear it is a bug in Kendo UI and not something wrong with the way the kendo-global project is translating the messages.

I want when user clciked a link, he can go back to the previous selected page and selected row of kendo grid. I can get his selected page number without problem by

$("#homesGrid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.page();

In databound event of Kendo Grid, I cannot set his selected page. I can only set his selected row by
$("#homesGrid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.page(2);   ====> error

var data = mygrid.dataSource.data();
$.each(data, function (i, row) {
if (row.Fcode == fcode) {
  $('tr[data-uid="' + row.uid + '"]').addClass("k-state-selected");
}

Is the code of that line incorrect or is that I cannot set it in databound event of Kendo Grid?
