Using Kendo UI Grid in Orchard CMS

[improwise]

I'm trying to use Kendo UI Grid in Orchard CMS (http://orchardproject.net) and I've almost been able to get it to work all the way but I can't seem to get validation to work. I've decorated my model with:

 

        [DisplayName("Namn")]
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Ange värde")]
        public string Name { get; set; }

 

but when I try to update/create with empty value I get an error:

 

{"Message":"The request is invalid.","ModelState":{"civilStatusTypeViewModel.Name":["Ange värde"]}}​

 

But I am not getting any "visual validation" error message in the page.

 

It is quite complicated to setup Kendo UI with Orchard so this is most likely a configuration error, like a missing .css or .js, but I can't figure out where to look so I would be grateful for any help on how to solve this.

If it is any help, I notice that "data-val-required=\"Ange värde\" seem to be missing in the html/javascript generated for the module inside Orchard, but the same module in a Telerik project does generate it.

Hi Patrik,

It seems that Orchard is preventing the rendering of the data-val attributes, although I am not sure why - similar issue has been discussed on Stack Overflow. Kendo UI relies on the data attributes and since they are not rendered there is not much we can do to help. I would suggest asking the Orchard community or support for advice.

Thank you for responding to this. Indeed seems like that is the problem.
