Weird Request..

[digital1]

I know this may be a bit weird, but is there a way in the Event's calendar to have the link go directly to the edit screen instead of the right side panel view that shows the event details? I have a client that wants the linked event on the calendar to just go to the edit form.

You should be able to do this by overriding the Dataface.Calendar.Event.prototype.getDescription function.

e.g.

Create a javascript file "calendar-override.js":

Code: Select all

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    Dataface.Calendar.Event.prototype.getDescription = function(){
        window.location.href=DATAFACE_SITE_HREF+'?-action=edit&-recordid='+encodeURIComponent(this.record_id);
    };
});


Then Add appropriate javascript files to the head of the document by adding the following to your application delegate class:

Code: Select all

function beforeHandleRequest(){
    $app = Dataface_Application::getInstance();
    $query =& $app->getQuery();
    if ( $query['-action'] == 'calendar' ){
         $app->addHeadContent('<script src="'.DATAFACE_URL.'/js/jquery.packed.js"></script>');
         $app->addHeadContent('<script src="'.DATAFACE_SITE_URL.'/calendar-override.js"></script>');
    }
}


(Note this snippet hasn't been tested so undoubtedly contains a few bugs... but this is the right idea).

Greetings Steve,

Thanks for the quick response. I have been trying to get it to work, this is what I have so far:

This is the Application delegate

Code: Select all

   if ( $query['-table'] == 'show' and $app->_conf['using_default_action'] ){
            $query['-action'] = 'calendar';
         $app->addHeadContent('<script src="'.DATAFACE_URL.'/js/jquery.packed.js"></script>');
          $app->addHeadContent('<script src="'.DATAFACE_SITE_URL.'/calendar-override.js"></script>');
       
       }


Here is my JS

Code: Select all

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
        //window.location.href=DATAFACE_SITE_HREF+'?-action=edit&-recordid='+encodeURIComponent(this.record_id);
       
        Dataface.Calendar.prototype.drawMonth = function () {
    var firstDay = new Date(this.selectedDate.getFullYear(), this.selectedDate.getMonth(), 1);
    var out = '<table class="Dataface-Calendar-month" cellspacing="0"><thead><tr><th>' + Date.daysOfWeek.join('</th><th>') + '</th></tr></thead>';
    out += '<tbody>';
    var day = -1;
    for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        out += '<tr>';
        for (var j = 0; j < 7; j++) {
            if ((day == -1) && (firstDay.getDay() == j)) {
                day = 0;
            }
            if (day == this.selectedDate.daysInMonth()) {
                day = -1;
            }
            var cls = '';
            if (day >= 0) cls = 'Dataface-Calendar-day';
            else cls = 'Dataface-Calendar-empty-day';
            out += '<td class="' + cls + '"><div class="day-wrapper"';
            if (day >= 0) {
                var currDay = this.selectedDate.clone();
                currDay.setDate(day + 1);
                out += '<div class="day-number"><a href="javascript:Dataface.Calendar.getInstance(\'' + this.id + '\').handleSelectDay(\'' + currDay.toString() + '\')">' + (day + 1) + '</a></div>';
                var events = this.events.day(currDay);
                for (var k = 0; k < events.length; k++) {
                      var link=DATAFACE_SITE_HREF+'?-action=edit&-recordid='+encodeURIComponent(this.record_id);
                    out += '<div class="Dataface-Calendar-event" id="event-preview-' + events[k].id + '"><a href="'+link+'">' + events[k].title + '</a></div>';
                }
                day++;
            }
            out += '</div></td>';
        }
        out += '</tr>';
    }
       out += '</tbody></table>';
    return out;
       
       
       
    };
});



Am I doing something wrong here? I am not seeing the change happen in the calendar. I did notice that some interesting path info got set in the generated HTML.

Hard to say what is going wrong... overriding the entire drawMonth method may be more extreme than necessary. Is overriding just the description not sufficient?
