Is there some way that I can get DataViz to automatically generate a nice looking axis when using dates on the category axis? It would be helpful if it for instance could choose an appropriate step size etc. automatically. 

If this isn't possible I have another question. How do I make it step over some ticks cause I only want ticks where I have labels.

Thanks

I have a grid with a custom toolbar, which have dynamical data showed related to data in the grid. When there are changes in the grid, the toolbartext must be updated to the new values.

Is there a way to refresh/reload the toolbar?

Every sample I can find works on the premise of multiple rows of data coming back.

In our case there is only one row being returned because this is a single item edit screen.

I have a Web API request that returns an object. Here's the response from the call:

{
  "FirstName": "James",
  "LastOrCompanyName": "Hancock",
  "MiddleName": "Robert",
  "Salutation": "Mr.",
  "Suffix": null,
  "Individual": true,
 <...more fields...>
}

It's formatted exactly like that with Json.

What I'm attempting to do is put text boxes that allow edit of those values.

Here's what I have:

var Contact = kendo.data.Model.define({
        ID: "ID"
    });


    dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        type: "json", // specifies data protocol
        transport: {
            read: { url: "/api/v1/contacts/GetContactByID?id=" + ContactID },
        },
        schema: {
            model: {
                    id: "ID"
            }
        },
        change: function (e) {
            selectedContact = e;
        },
        error: function (e) {
            debugger;
        }
    });

    var viewModel = kendo.observable({
        dataSource: dataSource,
        hasChanges: false,
        change: function () {
            this.set("hasChanges", true);
        }
    });


    kendo.bind($("#contact-info"), viewModel);

for sake of argument I also bound a grid to the datasource like so:

    $("#g-contact-info").kendoGrid({
        groupable: true,
        scrollable: { virtual: true },
        sortable: true,
        pageable: true,
        dataSource: dataSource
    });

The grid doesn't display any data even though one item came back.

And I can't figure out any way to logically set the observable to the first item even if it did. I was expecting some sort of data control on the observable that allowed you to change which is the current item just like a BindingSource in Winforms or something.

Can someone help with the two issues? First being the data not coming back and binding properly, the second being how do I get the observable to set properly and get my selectedContact set with the right value.

Thanks!

Hi ,
I am developing an application using kendoui grid,and i am facing a problem
when grouping the records according  to different columns.
I want to have records grouped by name column and at the same time have footerTemplate and groupFooterTemplate for quantity  column.
When i add another column on grouping i get an error 'sum is not defined'.
I have looked around on kendo forums, and even the following forum topic:
http://www.kendoui.com/forums/ui/grid/groupable-aggregates-and-groupfootertemplate-problems.aspx

doesn't resolve me the problem.(which looks me more similar to my problem).
I am putting the columns,group,aggregates and fields using php variables:
$arr=array(array('field'=>'pol','title'=>'Part Number','width'=>'200px','aggregates'=> "count", 'groupHeaderTemplate'=> "Part Number: #=value#"),
     array('field'=>'name','title'=>'PO ','aggregates'=> "count", 'groupHeaderTemplate'=> "PO Teknema: #=value#"),
     array('field'=>'po_supp','title'=>'PO Supplier','aggregates'=> "count", 'groupHeaderTemplate'=> "PO Supplier: #=value#"),
     array('field'=>'seltc','title'=>'Quantity Received','aggregates'=> "count", 'groupHeaderTemplate'=> "Quantity Received: #=value#"),
     array('field'=>'pol_qty','title'=>'Qty to Receive','aggregates'=> "sum", 'footerTemplate'=> "Total Sum: #=sum#",'groupFooterTemplate'=> "Sum: #=sum#" ),
     array('field'=>'qty_purchased','title'=>'Total Qty','aggregates'=> "count", 'groupHeaderTemplate'=> "Total Qty: #=value#"),
     //array('field'=>'prod_name','title'=>'Part Number'),
     array('field'=>'rif_ordine','title'=>'Rif.Ordine','aggregates'=> "count", 'groupHeaderTemplate'=> "Rif.Ordine: #=value#"),
     array('field'=>'project','title'=>'Project','aggregates'=> "count", 'groupHeaderTemplate'=> "Project: #=value#"),
     array('field'=>'po_ref','title'=>'PO Reference','aggregates'=> "count", 'groupHeaderTemplate'=> "PO Reference: #=value#"),
  );
$columns=json_encode($arr);
$arr=array(
    'pol'=>array('type'=>'string'),
    'name'=>array('type'=>'string'),
    'po_supp'=>array('type'=>'string'),
    'seltc'=>array('type'=>'string'),
    'pol_qty'=>array('type'=>'number'),
    'qty_purchased'=>array('type'=>'number'),
    //'prod_name'=>array('type'=>'string'),
    'rif_ordine'=>array('type'=>'string'),
    'project'=>array('type'=>'string'),
    'po_ref'=>array('type'=>'string'),
     );
$fields=json_encode($arr);
$arr=array('field'=>'name',
    'aggregates'=>array(
        array('field'=>'pol','aggregate'=>'count'),
        array('field'=>'name','aggregate'=>'count'),
        array('field'=>'po_supp','aggregate'=>'count'),
        array('field'=>'seltc','aggregate'=>'count'),
        array('field'=>'pol_qty','aggregate'=>'sum'),
        array('field'=>'qty_purchased','aggregate'=>'count'),
        array('field'=>'rif_ordine','aggregate'=>'count'),
        array('field'=>'project','aggregate'=>'count'),
        array('field'=>'po_ref','aggregate'=>'count'),
        )
        );
$group=json_encode($arr);
$arr=array(
    array('field'=>'pol','aggregate'=>'count'),
    array('field'=>'po_supp','aggregate'=>'count'),
    array('field'=>'seltc','aggregate'=>'count'),
    array('field'=>'pol_qty','aggregate'=>'sum'),
    array('field'=>'qty_purchased','aggregate'=>'count'),
    array('field'=>'rif_ordine','aggregate'=>'count'),
    array('field'=>'project','aggregate'=>'count'),
    array('field'=>'po_ref','aggregate'=>'count'),
     );
$aggregate=json_encode($arr);

and then pass these variables on js 

Please Help me to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance

We need uniform implementation and dedicated documentation similar to "Configuration" that describes how to declaratively bind controls.  I'm having to do a lot of repetitive coding for binding that should be a simple declarative structure.  You should be able to enable a property on your kendo framework and request it to declaratively data bind and off you go.  Very little coding necessary.  For example:

<input id="siteList" class="ctrlDropDown" data-template="#siteListTemplate" data-dataurl="Layout/sites.json" data-selector="sites" /> 

    $(".ctrlDropDown")
    .each(function (index, htmlControl) {
        var control = $(htmlControl);
        var dataSourceUrl = control.attr("data-dataurl");
        //alert(dataSourceUrl);
        var dataSourceCallback = control.attr("data-datacallback");
        var template = control.attr("data-template");
        var dataType = control.attr("data-type");
        var dataText = control.attr("data-text");
        var dataValue = control.attr("data-value");
        var dataSelector = control.attr("data-selector");
        //alert(dataSelector);
        var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
            type: (dataType != null) ? dataType : null,
            transport: {
                read: {
                    url: dataSourceUrl,
                    jsonpCallback: (dataSourceCallback != null) ? dataSourceCallback : ""
                }
            }
        });
        dataSource.fetch(function (data) {
            //alert(JSON.stringify(data.sender._pristine));
            control.kendoDropDownList({
                autoBind: true,
                dataTextField: dataText,
                dataValueField: (dataValue != null) ? dataValue : dataText,
                template: (template != null) ? kendo.template($(template).html()) : null,
                dataSource: (dataSelector != null) ? eval("data.sender._pristine." + dataSelector) : data.sender._pristine
            });
        });
    });

Hi all,

I'm looking at the splitview demo on this link http://demos.kendoui.com/beta/mobile/splitview/index.html and I try to create the prototype using its demo source code with kendo trial version, but I think the data-role 'splitview' and 'pane' didn't work well. Can anyone help me, please? Or this feature is available for only the licensing version?

Thanks 

Hi,

Is it possible to use the sample codes for autocomplete in popup editor template?

Here is the scenario
A french environment with globalization set to "FR-fr"
I included the french kendo culture script and added the call to kendo.culture( 'FR-fr')

I have an input field that contains a datetime in a french format

I tried to transform this input field to a kendo datepicker but failed to have the correct date value
I tried so many combinations from
to


The new kendo datepicker correctly displayed but never picked up the correct date value : Friday, August 24, 2012

Is there a way to generate svg (or png/pdf) directly on the server?
All examples that I have seen so far, generate the svg in the browser and post it back to the server where it's converted to png/pdf.

I want to create a report on the server. So there is no chart visible in the client browser. The image must be created entirely on the server (where it will be embedded in PDF or Excel files that are created on the fly).

Any ideas?

Kind regards
Hartmut

Hi:

You have two way of invoking Kendo UI, one way is via javascript (this is the Index view):

The view is as follows:

The Index view returns an empty view and gets the data asynchronously via call to GetEmployees.
