Recurrence Panel Configuration

[Landon]

Is there any easy way to disable features within the recurrence panel when creating/updating appointments? For example, I want to use monthly recurrence, but I do NOT want to allow the user to select a monthly interval -- I want the appointment to occur every month. So, I would like to leave everything as-is, but disable/hide the controls that allow the user to select a monthly interval. I'd also like to change the text from "every month(s)" to "every month", since that's all I'll be allowing. I've been working on this all day, and it's really driving me insane now. Surely there's some way to manage this type of configuration without creating completely custom templates, right? PLEASE HELP -- I'M DESPERATE!

Thanks for your help,
Landon

Hello Landon,

To change the text from "every month(s)" to "every month" - please use the following property: Localization-AdvancedMonths="month".
To remove the textbox and spin arrows set this Css class:

.riSpin
        {
            visibility: hidden !important;
        }

and this JQuery code:

function OnClientFormCreated(sender, eventArgs) {
            var $ = $telerik.$;
            $(".rsAdvPatternPanel li").find('div:last').css("display", "none");
        }

Please find the full code in the attached .zip file.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Veronica,

Thank you very much: that was extremely helpful! I now have a better idea about how to do some of the manipulations I need to do.

A couple of things:

• You don't actually have to include the style to hide the spin buttons, because hiding the div hides those, too.
• If you hide the spin buttons using the class you indicated, it hides them for ALL recurrence types, not just monthly. But, like I said, since hiding the div does the job, it's not necessary anyway.

Now I have another question for you: for monthly recurrence, I want to limit some of the choices for the "first (...n) day (...n) of every month" option. Specifically, I want to remove "weekday" and "weekend day" from the day list, and leave only "day" and the days of the week. How can I do that?

Thanks again for your help -- I really appreciate it.

Hello,

Also, I am trying to hide the "Hourly" and "Yearly" recurrence options, and it is NOT working consistently. I have tried both straight jQuery code:

$('ul.rsRecurrenceOptionList li:eq(0)').hide();
$('ul.rsRecurrenceOptionList li:eq(4)').hide();

Which works for the insert form and sporadically for the edit form. I have also tried the RadScheduler's OnClientFormCreated method, which doesn't work at all:

function OnClientFormCreated(sender, eventArgs) {
            var $ = $telerik.$;
            $('ul.rsRecurrenceOptionList li:eq(0)').hide();
            $('ul.rsRecurrenceOptionList li:eq(4)').hide();
}

I am using jQuery on my site...is it a conflict issue? It really seems like it shouldn't be so difficult to hide these options.

Thanks,
Landon

Nevermind about the last issue: I got it fixed, although for some reason I have to specify the advanced edit form ID in the selector, which I don't have to do with the insert form. Strange bug.
