Server-side Rendering Engines? (.net/php?)

Hi Kendo Team,

Well, after having built out a pretty good set of functionality with jQuery templates and the .Net rendering engine (http://nuget.org/packages/jquery-tmpl.net), I'm now looking for something that won't be pulled out from under my feet. jQuery templates being cancelled is just bad, but it's great for Kendo!

I and probably many others are looking to replace our jQuery template code since that project has been axed.

My question though is... do you plan on offering a .Net rendering solution for your template framework? It looks pretty similar to jQuery templates so it could even be possible to take the jQueryTmpl .net open source code renderer and to modify it? If so, do you have a time frame for this? For me, I'd love server-side rendering in .Net, php, and Ruby in that order of preference.

This has been pretty critical for us, because although the client-side is amazing, and as painful as it is to serve things up server-side we've build client-side, for SEO it's a huge issue still.

Keep getting UNDEFINED in my selectlist when bound!

I have tried everything! I am doing a load on demand scenario. Every time it loads the results, every selection says UNDEFINED. Here is the code:

//HERE IS THE MODEL

public class TscmisModel
{
public SelectList LoadOnDemandList { get; set; }
}

//THIS IS A PARTIAL
@model USARAFSyncMVC.Areas.Event.Models.TscmisModel

@(Html.Kendo()
.ComboBox()
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 900px" })
.Name("cbTscmis")
.Filter(FilterType.StartsWith)
.MinLength(3)
.Suggest(true)
.DataTextField("Text")
.DataValueField("Value")
.HighlightFirst(true)
.BindTo(Model.LoadOnDemandList)
.DataSource(source =>
{
source.Read(read =>
{
read.Action("_LoadTscmisData", "Event", new { area = "Event" });
}).ServerFiltering(true);
}))

//THIS IS THE SERVER METHOD
public ActionResult _LoadTscmisData(string text)
{
TscmisModel model = new TscmisModel();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
{
model.LoadOnDemandList = miscRepository.LoadTscmisData(text);
return PartialView("TscmisPartial", model);
}
model.LoadOnDemandList = new SelectList(new List<SelectListItem>());
return PartialView("TscmisPartial", model);
}

Multiple grids, multiple filters, one datasource?

Hey guys,

I'm wondering whether its possible to have one request to the server to get all my data, then display different grids based on seperate filters for each grid?

My problem at the moment is that each grid creates a new data source & therefore a new query to the server, even though the query returns all the data each time.

I've come across dataSource:cache:"inmemory" but this doesn't seem to help. It's as though I need to create clones of the DataSource after it's returned from the server and modify the filter for each copy.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
J

Something wrong on Add Button

Hi everybody

I have a problem with the Add button in the grid.
I'm doing some tests and something strange happened.
By clicking the Add button, a popup appears with the fields, an ok button and cancel the other. Sometimes when I click the cancel button, a row is inserted with all null values and add button stops working. The code is this:

.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.Isn);
columns.Bound(p => p.EventoIsn);
columns.Bound(p => p.UsuarioEdicao);
columns.Bound(p => p.ValorCaptacao);
columns.Bound(p => p.Processado);
})
.ToolBar(toolbar => {
toolbar.Create().Text("");
})
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
//.Server()
.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.Isn))
.Create(update => update.Action("Create", "CaptacaoItem"))
)
.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp)
.Window(w => w.Title("Captação Item")
.HtmlAttributes(new { @id = "fLogin" })
.Height(700)
.Width(700)
.Resizable())))

Supplying route values from javascript?

Hi. I have an MVC3 application programmed in VB.NET.

In this MVC3 application, I have a controller. The controller's JSON action has 3 parameters as specified below:

        Function JSONRetrieveDocuments(
            ByVal contactId As Guid,
            ByVal includeLoanBasedDocuments As Boolean,
            <DataSourceRequest()> request As DataSourceRequest) As ActionResult

As part of a Grid, I build a route value dictionary as part of the function that creates the CrudOperationBuilder:

        Public Function CreateCrudOperationBuilder(cob As Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.CrudOperationBuilder) As Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.CrudOperationBuilder
            Dim theRouteValueDictionary As New RouteValueDictionary()
 
            theRouteValueDictionary.Add("contactId", Request.QueryString("contactId"))	    'theRouteValueDictionary.Add("includeLoanBasedDocuments", ???

           Return cob.Action("JSONRetrieveDocuments", "ContactBasedDocument", theRouteValueDictionary)
        End Function

When making the call to JSONRetrieveDocuments, I want to be able to populate the includeLoanBasedDocuments parameter of the controller's action by simply returning the checked status of a checkbox... so I created this javascript function:

    function ShouldIncludeLoanBasedDocuments() {
        return $("#cbIncludeLoanBasedDocuments")[0].checked;
    }

I'm curious
a) how do I supply the result of the javascript function to the route values?
b) am I following best practices on this one? It seems like this would be a common operation, but I couldn't find any documentation on it.

Thanks,

Jason
