Okay, so I have a grid that is used to manage Users. I would like to have two edit-popup buttons,
1.) For changing the user's password
2.) For changing the rest of the user's information
I currently have 1 command.Edit() button that has a custom template specified in ".Editable" that works fine with changing the user's information.
I would like to have a second button that is associated with a different template that changes the user's password.
I thought that this could be achieved through a Command.Custom() button; however, I'm not sure how I'd hook it up to the Grid's edit event.
Is this even possible? If not, is there any known workaround to achieve this functionality?
Kind regards,
Ruben

So, I just thought of a possible solution. If I have two "command.Edit()" buttons, one for changing the password and one for changing the rest of the user information. Like so,
columns.Command(command => command.Edit().UpdateText("Save User")).Title("Edit User").Width(60);
columns.Command(command => command.Edit().UpdateText("Save Password")).Title("Edit Password").Width(60);
I then define a template defined in Editable like so,
.Editable(editable => editable
.TemplateName("ManageUsersEditor")
.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp)
.Window(window =>
{
window.HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "kendo-popup-editor" });
window.Title("User account");
})
)
I subscribe to the Edit Event like so,
.Events(events => events.Edit("onEdit"))
Could I add logic in the "onEdit" function to determine which Edit button was pressed? If so how would that logic look?
<
script
>
function onEdit(e) {
// determine which edit button was pressed
// can I do a check on the "Update Text" or any other field?
if (!e.model.isNew()) {
e.container.find(".passwordEditor").remove();
}
}
</
script
>
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I am afraid that the described behavior is not available out of the box. However, you can implement it with a bit of additional code.
You can define a custom popup editor and wrap the editors in div elements that will be conditionally hidden when necessary. The popup editor can be roughly structured like below:
<
div
class
=
"customVisible"
>
some custom editors that will be conditionally hidden
</
div
>
<
div
>
other editors.
</
div
>
Then, you can specify custom command buttons:
columns.Command(cmd => cmd.Custom(
"Edit1"
).Click(
"edit1Handler"
));
columns.Command(cmd => cmd.Custom(
"Edit2"
).Click(
"edit2Handler"
));
The Click handlers for each custom command will set a global variable that will determine what part of the editor will be visible to the user:
var
someFlag;
function
edit1Handler(e) {
var
grid =
this
;
var
row = $(e.target).closest(
"tr"
)[0];
someFlag =
"edit1"
;
grid.editRow(row);
}
function
edit2Handler(e) {
var
grid =
this
;
var
row = $(e.target).closest(
"tr"
)[0];
someFlag =
"edit2"
;
grid.editRow(row);
}
Finally you can handle the Grid edit event and hide/show the relevant parts of the editor:
.Events(e=>e.Edit(
"onEdit"
))
function
onEdit(e) {
if
(someFlag ==
"edit1"
) {
e.container.find(
".customVisible"
).hide();
}
}
Give the appraoch a try and let me know how it works for you.

Hi Viktor,
Thank you for the help! I implemented your suggestion, and it works except for the password fields are autofilled with some erroneous data that I'm assuming might be the user information that I hid. Any idea how I could resolve this? Here is my current implementation:
// ManageUsers.cshtml
@model ERMgtProgram.Models.ManageViewModels.ManageUsersViewModel
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Manage Users";
}
<
h2
>@ViewBag.Title.</
h2
>
<
h4
>Modify data management accounts</
h4
>
<
p
class
=
"text-success"
>@ViewBag.StatusMessage</
p
>
<
div
>
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<
ERMgtProgram.Models.ManageViewModels.ManageUsersViewModel
>()
.Name("manageUsersGrid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(c => c.FirstName).Width(100);
columns.Bound(c => c.LastName).Width(100);
columns.Bound(c => c.Email).Width(100);
columns.Bound(c => c.RolesList).ClientTemplate("#= roleListDetails(data) #").Width(100).Sortable(false).Filterable(false).Groupable(false);
columns.Command(command => command.Custom("Edit1").Click("edit1Handler")).Title("Edit User").Width(60);
columns.Command(command => command.Custom("Edit2").Click("edit2Handler")).Title("Edit Password").Width(60);
columns.Command(command => command.Destroy()).Title("Delete User").Width(60);
})
.Editable(editable => editable
.TemplateName("ManageUsersEditor")
.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp)
.Window(window =>
{
window.HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "kendo-popup-editor" });
window.Title("User account");
})
)
.ToolBar(toolbar =>
{
toolbar.Create().Text("Add new user");
})
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 700px;" })
.Scrollable(s => s.Height(700))
.Groupable()
.Sortable()
.Pageable(pageable => pageable
.Refresh(true)
.PageSizes(new int[] { 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 1000 })
.ButtonCount(5))
.Filterable()
.Events(events => events.Edit("onEdit"))
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Model(m =>
{
m.Id(c => c.Id);
m.Field(c => c.Id).Editable(false);
m.Field(c => c.RolesList);
})
.Events(events => events.RequestEnd("onRequestEnd").Error("errorHandler"))
.Create(create => create.Action("Users_Create", "Manage").Data("sendAntiForgery"))

I've also attached some screenshots to give a visual representation of how it looks. Note: everything validates fine, but the password fields are autopopulated with erroneous data and instead I would like for them to be empty.

Solution: I ended up just setting the password fields manually to override it, like so:
function edit2Handler(e) {
var grid = this;
var row = $(e.target).closest("tr")[0];
someFlag = "edit2";
grid.editRow(row);
document.getElementById("Password").value = "";
document.getElementById("ConfirmPassword").value = "";
}
Thanks for all the help!
