How can I modify the styling of an event in the Kendo UI for jQuery Scheduler?
Solution
The following example demonstrates how to achieve the desired scenario by using the databound event.
<div id="example" class="k-content">
<div id="scheduler"></div>
</div>
<script id="event-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<div class="movie-template">
<img src="#= image #">
<p>
#: kendo.toString(start, "hh:mm") # - #: kendo.toString(end, "hh:mm") #
</p>
<h3>#: title #</h3>
<a href="#= imdb #">Movie in IMDB</a>
</div>
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
date: new Date("2013/6/13"),
startTime: new Date("2013/6/13 10:00"),
endTime: new Date("2013/6/13 23:00"),
height: 600,
views: ["day", "agenda"],
editable: false,
eventTemplate: $("#event-template").html(),
dataBound: function () {
var view = this.view();
var events = this.dataSource.view();
var eventElement;
var event;
for (var idx = 0, length = events.length; idx < length; idx++) {
event = events[idx];
// Get the event element.
eventElement = view.element.find("[data-uid=" + event.uid + "]");
// Set the background of the element.
eventElement.css("background-color", "red");
}
},
