Define URL for Event

Asked by Bobby

I am new to DayPilot, but after two days I have been able to move along quite well. I am stuck at the moment trying to define a URL behind the event.

Thanks in advance,

By default there is no URL associated with the event.

You should handle the EventClick event and define the required action. For redirecting it to a specified url you can use something like this:

          <%= Html.DayPilotMonth("dp", new DayPilotMonthConfig { 
                BackendUrl = ResolveUrl("~/Month/Backend"),
                
                EventClickHandling = EventClickHandlingType.JavaScript,
                EventClickJavaScript = "document.location.href = 'MyUrl?id=' + e.value()"
        })%>

Dan, I truly appreciate your patience, but I guess I'm not savvy enough with MVC just yet...

First, EventClickHandlingType "The name 'EventClickHandlingType' does not exist in the current context."

Second, My current thought is that I will have multiple events on the same day (I probably need to do better about describing the app) and I want different links per event. I think I want to load the link along with the event description and such.

Maybe this is not the schedule widget I need, but I do like it so far.

Thanks again,

Try to add the namespace:

<%= Html.DayPilotMonth("dp", new DayPilotMonthConfig { 
  BackendUrl = ResolveUrl("~/Month/Backend"),
                
  EventClickHandling = DayPilot.Web.Mvc.Events.Month.EventClickHandlingType.JavaScript,
  EventClickJavaScript = "document.location.href = 'MyUrl?id=' + e.value()"
})%>

You can also add it to the page header:

<%@ Import Namespace="DayPilot.Web.Mvc.Events.Month" %>

> Second, My current thought is that I will have multiple events on the same day (I probably need to do better about describing the app) and I want different links per event. I think I want to load the link along with the event description and such.

You can access the event properties using the e object (see also http://api.daypilot.org/daypilot-event-class/): e.value(), e.text(), e.start()....

With the latest version (1.3 SP1) you can also use a server-side Redirect() method:

View:
<%= Html.DayPilotMonth("dp", new DayPilotMonthConfig { 
  BackendUrl = ResolveUrl("~/Month/Backend"),
                
  EventClickHandling = DayPilot.Web.Mvc.Events.Month.EventClickHandlingType.CallBack
})%>
Controller (Dpm class):
protected override void OnEventClick(EventClickArgs e)
{
  Redirect("~/Dialog/Edit?id=" + e.Id);
}
