Events Calender Help...

Posted by Community Admin on 28-Jan-2011 00:00

I am working with the new Sitefinity 4.0 for the first time and all is going well. Part of the project is an events calendar and I am having trouble connecting my Events I create to a RadControl Calendar. Are there any blogs, examples, or discussions on the subject in 4.0 before I go getting into the code? It kind of seemed like the two controls would play nice together in a strait forward way.

I would like a calendar on the left with the events to show up and perhaps a detailed description of the events on the right using the Events control.

Thanks for any help,

Charles

The Intranet Starter Kit has events module....

Have a look at it... It might give you some clues...

Hey Charles,

I'm trying to perform a similar task with the Calendar in Sitefinity 4.0. Have you had any luck getting the calendar to interact with the events?

Thanks,

Jeff

Not really...
I just formated the Event to look like a calender entry... I was looking for a little more detail to my question but did not get it so I just did what I could because I just don't have time right now to research it.. When I get this project done I will go back and search around... If I find something I will post it...

Hey Charles,

Would you mind posting a link to the calendar that you are using?

Thanks,

Jeff

Not using a calendart yet... i just formated the event widget to look like a calendar entry. I will go back later and hook in the calendar if I figure it out. <see pic>

Hi charles and Jeffrey,

That is a tough one. What I could suggest you is to use the RadScheduler for ASP.NET in a Month View mode and link it to the Events.

Please see the code samples below for further reference in building your EventsCalendar widget as a user control.

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="EventsCalendar.ascx.cs" Inherits="SitefinityWebApp.MyControls.EventsCalendar" %>

<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="Scheduler1" SelectedView="MonthView">

</telerik:RadScheduler>

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using Telerik.Web.UI;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.News.Model;

using Telerik.Sitefinity;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model;

namespace SitefinityWebApp.MyControls

public partial class EventsCalendar : System.Web.UI.UserControl

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

var events = App.WorkWith().Events().Where(n => n.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live).Get().ToList();

Telerik.Sitefinity.Events.Model.Event ev;

Scheduler1.DataSource = events;

Scheduler1.DataKeyField = "Id";

Scheduler1.DataSubjectField = "Title";

Scheduler1.DataStartField="EventStart";

Scheduler1.DataEndField="EventEnd";

Scheduler1.DataBind();

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can assist you any further with this service request. Thank you in advance.

Hi Boyan,

This code is perfect! It solved my problem. I am now trying to figure out how to tie it to a details page. Any ideas?

I'll post the full VB.net code for my control when I finish this little project.

Hi David Arnold,

Do you mind sharing with me some more details on the exact use case scenario you want to implement, so that I can give you a more focused answer. Thanks in advance.

Hi Boyan,

I submitted a ticket on this issue last night, but basically I have a few issues and one really bad work-around.

I have a radscheduler and it shows me one event (not all of the events?) from SiteFinity. I need to be able to link each event to the details page for that event. I think it's called EventView page in SiteFinity. I have listed my code at the bottom of this post.

My problems are:
1. Only one event shows up, not all of them
2. If an event start date changes, my link will break
3. Cannot go to another month (gives databinding error)

Here's my control:

<%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="CalendarView.ascx.vb" Inherits="Controls_CalendarView" %>

<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="Scheduler1" SelectedView="MonthView"

AllowDelete="false"

AllowEdit="false"

AllowInsert="false"

ShowViewTabs="false"

OnClientNavigationCommand="OnClientNavigationCommand">

<AppointmentTemplate>

<asp:HyperLink ID="hyp1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Subject") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# getURL(Eval("Start"), Eval("Subject"))%>' />

</AppointmentTemplate>

</telerik:RadScheduler>

<script language="javascript">

function OnClientNavigationCommand(sender, eventArgs)

// 7 = SwitchToDayView

if (eventArgs.get_command() == 7) eventArgs.set_cancel(true);

</script>

And my code behind:

Imports System

Imports System.Collections.Generic

Imports System.Linq

Imports System.Web

Imports System.Web.UI

Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls

Imports Telerik.Web.UI

Imports Telerik.Sitefinity.News.Model

Imports Telerik.Sitefinity

Imports Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model

Partial Class Controls_CalendarView

Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl

Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Dim events = App.WorkWith().Events().Where(Function(n) n.Status = ContentLifecycleStatus.Live).[Get]().ToList()

'--- was in example code, but not used anywhere?

Dim ev As Telerik.Sitefinity.Events.Model.Event

Scheduler1.DataSource = events

Scheduler1.DataKeyField = "Id"

Scheduler1.DataSubjectField = "Title"

Scheduler1.DataStartField = "EventStart"

Scheduler1.DataEndField = "EventEnd"

Scheduler1.DataBind()

End Sub

Public Function getURL(eventDate As Date, title As String) As String

Dim _URL As String

_URL = "/" & Year(eventDate)

If Month(eventDate).ToString.Length = 1 Then

_URL += "/0" & Month(eventDate)

Else

_URL += "/" & Month(eventDate)

End If

If Day(eventDate).ToString.Length = 1 Then

_URL += "/0" & Day(eventDate)

Else

_URL += "/" & Day(eventDate)

End If

_URL += "/" & LCase(Replace(title, " ", "-"))

Return "~/calendar-view/event-details/" & _URL

End Function

End Class

Thank you for your help.

Hi David Arnold,

Please check the provided code sample below, it should offer a solution to all of the listed problems.

First, enclosing the RadScheduler in a RadAjaxPanel and declaring the DataKeyField , DataSubjectField , DataStartField , and DataEndField properties in the template should fix the DataBind error you are receiving when you do a postback (for instance when switching to another date/view/month etc.)

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="RadScheduler.ascx.cs" Inherits="SitefinityWebApp.Controls.RadScheduler" %>

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel runat="server">

<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="Scheduler1"

DataKeyField = "Id"

DataSubjectField = "Title"

DataStartField = "EventStart"

DataEndField = "EventEnd"

OnAppointmentCreated="Scheduler1_AppointmentCreated">

<AppointmentTemplate>

<asp:HyperLink id="eventDetailsLink" runat="server" />

</AppointmentTemplate>

</telerik:RadScheduler>

</telerik:RadAjaxPanel>

and in the code-behind please inspect the way links to the event items are constructed - composing of the Event item default URL and a page which contains an Events widget, so that the event can be displayed there. You should set the property SinglePage from the widget settings in the UI, to a page which contains an Events widget :

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using Telerik.Sitefinity;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Events;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Events.Model;

namespace SitefinityWebApp.Controls

public partial class RadScheduler : System.Web.UI.UserControl

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

Scheduler1.DataSource = GetSourceItems();

protected virtual IList<Event> GetSourceItems()

var list = new List<Event>();

list = App.WorkWith().Events().Where(c => c.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live).Get().ToList();

return list;

public string SinglePage

get;

set;

public void Scheduler1_AppointmentCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.AppointmentCreatedEventArgs e)

var EManager = EventsManager.GetManager();

var c = (HyperLink)e.Container.FindControl("eventDetailsLink");

var data = EManager.GetEvent(new Guid(e.Appointment.ID.ToString()));

c.Text = data.Title;

c.NavigateUrl = SinglePage + data.Urls.Where(u => u.RedirectToDefault == false).SingleOrDefault().Url;

I hope you find this information useful, if you need any further assistance, please let us know.

What property will allow it to open in Month tab?
in otherwords, I want to see the Month view when I come to the page.

THanks

Posted by Community Admin on 12-Aug-2011 00:00

Hello Nana,

If you declare the SelectedView property to be equal to MonthView, this should ensure that RadScheduler will load initially in a month view mode. For more information on setting different view modes, please check this article from our documentation.

Posted by Community Admin on 16-Aug-2011 00:00

Thank you. I was able to implement sucessfully. Only that when I click on the event within the calender It goes to a url that is not within the cms.

am I supposed to enter anything in the single page property?

Posted by Community Admin on 18-Aug-2011 00:00

Hi Nana,

I have recorded a sample video demonstrating all the steps necessary for setting up the control on a Sitefinity project, please review them and let me know if any problems persist. Just a couple of things I'd like to stress on:
1. Make sure you are inserting the control in the proper folder, and then you are specifying the correct relative path to it
2. You'll need to substitute the .SingleOrDefault() filter in the lambda expression with .FirstOrDefault() to avoid exceptions when there are multiple Urls in the collection for that Event
3. You'll need to specify a value for the SinglePage property of the widget - it should be any page where you have dropped an Events widget, so when clicked from the Scheduler, the event can be properly opened.

Thanks Boyan
I understand your video perfectly.

My situation however is a bit different.

My events are categorized and are displayed on separate pages for each category (three) so in the SinglePage I cannot just put any page with an events control. The link has to go to the specific page and I have three event pages (categories.)

What else can I do?

Posted by Community Admin on 25-Aug-2011 00:00

Hi Nana,

In that case you can modify the code to get the category associated with the event item. You can get the category by using our extension method GetValue() (you will need to add a reference to Telerik.Sitefinity.Model;), for example:

var data = EventsManager.GetManager().GetEvent(new Guid());

var category = data.GetValue("Category");

This will return a TrackedList of Guids of the categories assigned to the event, which you can loop through and get each category with TaxonomyManager. Once you have gotten the category, you can easily modify the code to redirect you to a specific page depending on the category.

Hi Boyen,
I have been having difficulty with this and need more assistance if you do not mind

I have
I have the event in a list

so this is what I have for

foreach (Event eventItem in list)

var data = EventsManager.GetManager().GetEvent(eventitem.id

);

var category=data.getvalue("category")



now passing the value cateogory to the taxonomy manager is not working



I use

var taxon =taxManager.GetTaxon(category)

 I get type cast issues. please help further.



Thanks

Posted by Community Admin on 06-Oct-2011 00:00

Hello Nana,

You can store the Category Ids in a TrackedList of Guids like this:

var categoryIds = evnt.GetValue<TrackedList<Guid>>("Categories");

and then browse through that list (since the relationship is one to many) like this:

foreach(var catId in categoryIds)

var category = TaxonomyManager.GetManager().GetTaxonomy(catId);

Alternatively, you can simply first get the category Id:

var myCategory1Id = TaxonomyManager.GetManager().GetTaxonomies<HierarchicalTaxonomy>().Where(t => t.Name == "MyCategoryName").SingleOrDefault().Id;

and then browse through these events that have this category assigned to them:

var allEvents = App.WorkWith().Events()

.Where(t => t.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)

.Where(t => t.GetValue<TrackedList<Guid>>("Category").Contains( myCategory1Id )).Get().ToList();

Hi, I am still not on the same page

var allEvents = App.WorkWith().Events()

.Where(t => t.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.

ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)

.Get()

.ToList();

foreach

(Event eventItem in allEvents)

var taxonManager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

var r = new TableRow();

var c = new TableCell();

var eventcat = eventItem.GetValue<Guid>("Category");

var catname = taxonManager.GetTaxa<HierarchicalTaxon>().Where(t => t.Id == eventcat).SingleOrDefault();

c.Controls.Add(

new LiteralControl(eventItem.Title + catname.Name + " " + eventItem.EventStart + "-" + " " + eventItem.EventEnd + "<br />"));

r.Cells.Add(c);

Table1.Rows.Add(r);

My event is to category is 1 to 1
and I am thinking that the above code should work

but

var eventcat = eventItem.GetValue<Guid>("Category"); gives me a specified cast is not valid

so does

Guid eventcat = eventItem.GetValue<Guid>("Category");

Thank you. I kinda figured it out!

Hi Boyan,

I created a custom widget containing the RadScheduler. But I have this issue when inserting a new appoinment. I get the following javascript error when I hit save on insert new appoinment dialog. Any idea why? The type of data source of the scheduler is IList<Event>. Server side RadScheduler1_AppointmentInsert event is not getting called. but Update and Delete works fine without any issues.

Error:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Invalid object passed in, member name expected.

Hi Duneel,

Can you please share with us how you're creating the appointment - do you subscribe to OnClientTimeSlotClick and open the Advanced edit form? If so, the showInsertFormAt() method should also fire the corresponding FormCreating, AppointmentCreated and FormCreated server-side events. Maybe if you could fill us in with some more information on your exact implementation that would help us give you a more specific advice.

Hi Duneel,

Just a quick follow-up, I believe I have managed to reproduce the issue at hand, can you please try wrapping your RadScheduler in RadAjaxPanel and let us know if the issue still persist?

Hi Boyan,

RadSchedular is already wrapped inside RadAjaxPanel. Please have a look at the Widget Template I posted. Also I'm not using any client-side function. Everything is done in the server side events I have binded in RadSchedular (please check the widget template). All the other events fires but not the OnAppoinmentCreated, instead I get that javascript error.

Thanks!

Hi Duneel,

Thank you for providing me with the control logic. I've tested both using your control and a one with dummy events, and the functionality seems to be working properly. Please find attached a short video I've recorded while testing some of this functionality, and let me know if I'm missing anything. The only change that I've introduced is that I'm using a customized version of RajAjaxPanel which ensures that the Ajax requests will complete properly The custom RajAjaxPanel is built using the same approach as the one with UpdatePanel described in this blog post. For your convenience I'm attaching the sample Scheduler and custom RadAjaxPanel along with the video.

Kind regards,

This is a great solution. I am having a problem with this - either my events are starting a day late in monthview or ending a day late. I am not sure if this is to do with needing the .tolocal?

Hello,

You can compare the values saved into the databse for Event Start and Event End. You can also create a simple page where you use Sitefinity's API and show all events and the above mentioned values to see if there are some time differences. EventStart and EventEnd and properties of the data item so you can put a breakpoint inside a method that binds the RadScheduler to see if there would be a difference.
