I need to be able to get to the url that is called by the grid after filtering, sorting operations. It would be great if you would expose the url parser that is currently internal so i can use it to save history for browser back operations.

Unable to initialize menu with JSON

Hi,

I'm having trouble initializing the menu control from JSON. Using the code from the example:

$(document).ready(function() {

$("#menu").kendoMenu({

dataSource: [

{

text: "Menu Item 1",

items: [

{ text: "Sub Menu Item 1" },

{ text: "Sub Menu Item 2" }

]

},

{

text: "Menu Item 2"

}

]

})

});

The menu doesn't show up. I have tried this using <ul id="menu"></ul> as well as <div id="menu"></div> thinking that maybe it had to be an unordered list, but I can't make it work.

When I check the generated page, I can see that there is some kind of attempt to create the menu, but the items from the JSON aren't populated. As seen in web inspector:

<ul id="menu" class="k-widget k-reset k-header k-menu k-menu-horizontal"></ul>

Lazy loading images inside a splitter

Using the jQuery plugin: http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload causes some quirks. If you don't specify a container for the plugin, only the visible images on the screen are loaded, scolling down on a splitter pane shows that any other that were not originally visible are not loaded.

Specify the ID of the pane with the scrollbars + images causes them to all load at once. Changing the pixel threshold does not fix this either.

Has anyone else managed to get images to lazy load with any jQuery plugin with a scrollable splitter pane?

Problems sending data by POST

Hi

I'm trying to do a DataSource synchronize with the server, like in the Video
"Get Started With The Kendo UI DataSource".
My Forms works correctly, the grid show me the data correctly and I can Update an Delete well.
The problem is when I send the info from inputs to the file that processes. I'm using PHP and I send the info by POST but I don´t receive anything.

Here´s the code for the inputs, is the same that in the video:

$(document).ready(function() {
                $("#splitter").kendoSplitter();

                dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource ({
                   transport: {
                       read: {
                           url: "data/instituciones.php"
                       },
                       /*create: {
                           url: "data/instituciones.php",
                           type: "PUT"
                       },*/
                       update: {
                           url: "data/prueba.php",
                           type:"POST"
                       },
                       /*destroy:{
                           type:"DELETE"
                       }*/
                   },
                   schema: {
                       data:"data",
                       model: {
                           id:"id_Inst",
                           fields:{
                               nombre:{validation:{required: true}},
                               tipo:{validation:{required: true}}
                           }
                       }
                   }
                });

                var selected;

                $("#institucion").kendoGrid({
                    dataSource:dataSource,
                    selectable:true,
                    navigable:true,
                    change: function(){
                        var id = this.select().data("id");
                        selected = this.dataSource.get(id);

                        this.dataSource.options.transport.destroy.url = "data/instituciones" + id;
                        this.dataSource.options.transport.update.url = "data/instituciones" + id;

                        $("#cambiarNombre").val(selected.get("nombre"));
                        $("#cambiarTipo").val(selected.get("tipo"));
                    }

                    </dl>

And the code used in PHP:

<?php

    include 'conexion.php';
    header("Content-type: application/json");

    $con = conexion();

    $verb = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];

    if ($verb == "GET") {
    $data = array();
    $query = pg_query($con, "SELECT * FROM \"Institucion\"");

    while ($rows = pg_fetch_object($query)) {
        $data[] = $rows;
    }


    echo "{\"data\":" .json_encode($data). "}";
    }

    if ($verb == "POST") {

        $id = $_POST["id_Inst"];
        $nombre = $_POST["cambiarNombre"];
        $tipo = $_POST["cambiarTipo"];

        $rs = pg_query($con, "UPDATE \"Institucion\" SET nombre = '$nombre' WHERE id_Inst = ".$id) or die(pg_last_error($con));

        echo json_encode($rs);

    }

?>

The query runs perfectly but in the field "nombre" I dont receive data so I guess that I have problems sending the info from the inputs maybe in the DataSource I dont know.
Someone can help me?

Thanks a lot,
LHGC

Chart does not render in IE7 or IE8

I can't seem to get the chart to render in IE (above mentioned versions). It does work fine in chrome. Any ideas? The script below simply creates a datasource in a server side class and returns the data to create a pie chart.

{edit} I was able to display a chart in IE8 but only if I copied my script/html into a .HTM file. If I run the same "code" in an ASPX file within my asp.net application it fails within one of the .js files. Does this mean that this particular set of lightweight UI controls would not work using asp.net?

var graphData = new kendo.data.DataSource( {

transport: {

read: {

type:

"POST",

url:

"data_reader_webservice.asmx/GetDataJSON",

data: { DeviceID: $(

"#deviceList").data("kendoDropDownList").value(),

ParameterID: $(

"#parameterList").data("kendoDropDownList").value(),

startDate: $(

"#startDate").data("kendoDatePicker").value(),

endDate: $(

"#stopDate").data("kendoDatePicker").value()

},

contentType:

"application/json; charset=utf-8",

dataType:

"json"

},

parameterMap:

function (options) {

return JSON.stringify(options);

}

},

schema: {

data:

"d",

model: {

fields: {

ParameterID: { type:

"string" },

ParameterName: { type:

"string" }

}

},

error:

function (e) {

alert(e[0].responseText);

}

});

graphData.read();

$(

"#chart_test").kendoChart({

title: { text:

"Tha Chart!" },

chartArea: { width: 600, height: 400 },

seriesDefaults: { type:

"pie" },

dataSource: graphData,

series: [{field:

"ParameterValue", name: "value"}],

categoryAxis: { field:

"DeviceID", name: "id" }

});

Dynamically Loading Content

Coming from Silverlight, I am looking to create remote widgets (or components) that encapsulate all of their operation and look and feel into a single html/script file which can be loaded dynamically.   I would like to stay within the confines of HTML/JS/CSS rather than dipping into ASP.NET MVC.

The widgets need to be displayed within the div they are assigned to and automatically handle window/container re-sizing events, as well as pass context information from the controller to the component/widget.   (Think portal/dashboard).

Are there any examples which illustrate how to accomplish this?

Also, while looking at the Kendo source, I noticed that the components use kendo.ui.widget framework.   Should this be the mechanism that I use to create these components?   If so, are there any documents or examples which illustrate how to roll-your-own?

Thanks.

Changing dataSource on chart won't update my chart.

I want to update the dataSource of my chart based on a selection in a kendoDropDownList, however no change is applied (and neither do I see exceptions).

$('#parking-filter-select').kendoDropDownList({

dataSource: usageData,

change: function (e) {

var value = $('#parking-filter-select').val();

var chart = $('#chart-utilization').data("kendoChart");

chart.dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

data: usageData[value].Usage

});

chart.refresh();

}

});

$('#chart-utilization').kendoChart({

title: {

text: "Parking utilization for week"

},

dataSource:{

data: usageData[0].Usage

},

series:[{

type: "column",

field: "Max",

name: "Max utilization"

}],

categoryAxis:{

field: "Week"

},

tooltip: {

visible: true,

template: "${ Max } of ${ Capacity }"

},

legend: {

visible: false

}

});

I tried setting chart.dataSource.data too, but that also didn't work.

Bug(?): Column bars don't animate up to the right height when system under slight but not extreme load.

All values from datasource are exactly '1'. As you can see the bars don't render up correctly, when the animation is running it seems to hit the right height, and then shoot back.

Chrome: 18.0.1025.11 beta-m
KendoUI: 2011.3.1129. (from NuGet, no updates available on 15-2-2012).
