How to use the .less output from the themeBuilder

Hi,

I've generated a less file via the theme builder and as written there (http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/themebuilder), I,ve also added the template.less to my project. So right now I have the following files :

- mixins.less
- kendo.default.less
- common.less
- template.less
- and finally my custom.less generated via the theme builder.

When I launch my website, I've got this error message :

variable @widget-background-color is undefined

in template.less on line 106, column 23:

105
```
{
```

106

    background-color: @widget-background-color;

107
```
}
```

What am I missing ?

Thanks

Backbutton appears on every page

Hi,

when I use the following layout for all my views I realized that the Back button appears on every view.

<section data-role="layout" data-id="default">

<header data-role="header">

<div data-role="navbar">

<a class="nav-button" data-align="left" data-role="backbutton">Back</a>

<span data-role="view-title"></span>

</div>

</header>

</section>

As far as I remember "jQuery mobile" automatically hides the back button on the first view by default - which is great because I surely don't want a back button on my first view.

Having the back button even on the first view, is that by design in Kendo mobile?

Thx
Ingmar

DateTimePicker DataSource

I am trying to bind a DataSource to my DateTimePicker widget but I'm somewhat at a loss as to whether this actually works and how the data could be defined. Currently I'm using the following code.

var timeSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

transport: {

read: {

url : "/cgi-bin/system.cgi?time",

dataType : "json"

}

});

$("#datetimepicker").kendoDateTimePicker({

dataSource: timeSource

});

And the server is returning json with the following format, I can change this part easily but I'm not sure what DateTimePicker is expecting.

[ { "time" : "Wed Oct 24 10:26:46 MDT 2012" } ]

Calling a custom method after grouping by column

I am performing validation on missing data when loading the grid and applying a red border to a cell where the data is missing so the user can identify missing data quickly. I have my grid groupable = true so the user can group by column headers. My problem is I lose the cell border after the user drag/drops the column header into the "Drag a column header and drop it here to group by that column" area. Any ideas on what fires after the grouping is done or where I can insert a custom method to reapply my cell border.

Endless Scrolling: Invalid template: <a href ...</a>

Hi everyone!

I have this endless scrolling component but in my case I want to make every <li> clickable, so i designed this template:

...
<script id="endless-scrolling-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<a href="#overview-account">
<div id="parent">
<div class="img-div">
<img src="../../content/mobile/overview/nairobi.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="name-div">random_string</div>
<div class="url-div">random_string</div>
<div class="dist-div">random_string</div>
</div>
</a>
</script>

But when the page is rendered nothing is displayed...

If I remove the <a tag like this:
...
<script id="endless-scrolling-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<div id="parent">
<div class="img-div">
<img src="../../content/mobile/overview/nairobi.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="name-div">random_string</div>
<div class="url-div">random_string</div>
<div class="dist-div">random_string</div>
</div>

...everything is ok but the elements are not clickable :/

This is the exception:
Thank you all!

Uncaught Error: Invalid template:'<li data-uid="#=uid#"> <a href="#overview-account"> <div class="parent"> <div class="img-div"> <img src="../../content/mobile/overview/nairobi.jpg" /> </div> <div class="name-div">random_string
</div> <div class="url-div">random_string

Layouting Popup Edit Forms

Hello,

for testing purposes i just try recreate a simple input mask from a former application in Kendo UI. Unfortunatly i couldn't find any ressources on how to layout and expand the editor pop window.

How can i realise this (ar at least similar) input mask in kendo ui popup editor?

And is there a image selector widget?

And last question. In my popup window template i alway get this js code in the headline. How can i avoid this?

function anonymous(data) { var o,e=kendo.htmlEncode;with(data){o='

Thanks in advance

Btw. The example is a real 'Kendo' page.
Kendo UI seems like real kendo, you need keiko, keiko, keiko ... :D

How to use Kendo Grid Ajax Read event on demand

Hi All,

I have page with DropDownList and Telerik's Kendo UI Grid Control. When first time page is opened DropDownList has no item selected in it. When user selects value in DropDownList only then Grid should make Ajax call to the server and load corresponding data.

My code works fine when user selects item in DropDownList, but the problem is that first time when page is opened I there is no value in DropDownList and Grid should not make a call to the server.

My question is how can I prevent grid not to make a call to the server if there is no item selected in DropDowList?

Thanks a lot.

Application using Kendo UI for Android Tablet

Hi,

We are developing an application for Android Tablet using Kendo UI. Grid and Drop down lists are the commonly used components in our application. We are populating data in the grid and drop down lists from the Android inbuilt SQLITE database. For that we are currently switching from the .html file to the .java file where I have written the query for fetching the data and return back to html page for rendering the data on the screen. The screen transition seems to be very slow. Also we have link templates for the fields in the grid using which navigation to pages is done. Can you please help me to reduce the time it takes to navigate between pages.. ?

Thanks for the help in advance.
