Read Only view of an event

[Cheryl]

Hello,

 

In certain circumstances (for example the event is in the past or the user doesn't have write permission), I would like to able to double click on an event and display a read only version of that event in a popup. 

 

Much like how the edit works but with the items displayed and without inputs.  Ideally I would also like to be able to do this using some kind of display template.

 

I can't see anything in the samples or documentation on how to do this - if it is there , apologies, I missed it.

 

Thanks 

Cheryl

Hello Cheryl,

To implement the targeted functionality, you can use the edit event of the component. Inside the function which is executed when the event is triggered, you can use logic similar to the one discussed in this Kendo Scheduler: Prevent editing for completed event StackOverflow article.

Based on the current date, the JavaScript code from the linked thread will check if a given event has already happened or not. If we try to edit a past event, the edit will be prevented and the popup window will not appear.

Then in the same "edit" event function, you can initialize a Window component and display the event data inside it. The event data is available in the event handler as demonstrated in this Dojo example. 

I hope the above will help you implement the targeted functionality.
