Floating event feature is not working

Asked by Anonymous

Hi

The floating event feature seems no to work in my case. I don't see the arrows on the events. I set the property floatingEvents to true, although this is the default value anyway. I also checked the start and end dates and they are outside the current date range (viewport).

This is my scheduler configuration: 

 schedulerConfig: any = {
    rowHeaderColumns: [
      { text: '', display: "name" },
      { text: '' }
    ],

    durationBarVisible: false,
    durationBarMode: "PercentComplete",
    heightSpec: 'Parent100Pct',
    hideBorderFor100PctHeight: true,
    locale: this.localeService.localeId,
    cellWidthSpec: 'Auto',
    crosshairType: 'Full',
    timeHeaders: [
      { 'groupBy': "Month", 'format': "MMMM yyyy" },
      { 'groupBy': 'Week' },
      { 'groupBy': 'Day', 'format': 'd' }
    ],

how-to javascript scheduler floating-events
Answer posted by Dan Letecky [DayPilot]

I recommend using the browser devtools to check the DOM structure. If an event is partially hidden (outside of the current viewport), the Scheduler adds a special <div> element with "scheduler_default_event_float_inner" CSS class that is displayed on top of the event. The arrow is defined using ::after pseudoclass in the default CSS theme.

This way you can see if the floating <div> is present and how it is displayed. It may be hidden by some other element or the CSS may be overrridden.

Please note that the floating <div> is not applied when the event starts before startDate and the scrollbar is at position 0 (horizontally). In this case, the event will be marked with "scheduler_default_event_continueleft" CSS class.

Also, it's important to remember that active areas with position defined using left/right (unlike start/end) are floating as well. For some event types, you have defined an active area covering the whole event (left: 0, right: 0, top: 0, bottom: 0) which will be displayed on top of the floating <div>.

Since version 2022.4.5448, you can also make an active area non-floating by adding "nonFloating: true" to its properties:

If I understand you correctly, the floating event feature works only in combination with the horizontal scrollbar?

In my case I don't have the horizontal scrollbar, because I'm setting the cellWidthSpec property to "Auto".

So, I want always to show the arrows (left und right) to indicate that an event starts before the startDate or/and ends after the endDate of the viewport. It shouldn't matter whether the the scrollbar is at position 0 or it's not used at all (as in my case)

Is there a way to do this?

Yes.

If you show the full timeline using cellWidthSpec: "Auto" the floating events feature never get activated.

As I mentioned, events that start before visibleStart() and/or end after visibleEnd() will be marked by special CSS classes ("scheduler_default_event_continueleft" and "scheduler_default_event_continueright").

You can use these classes to define the arrows but it might be easier to use active areas - something like this: 

dp.onBeforeEventRender = args => {
    args.data.areas = [];
    if (new DayPilot.Date(args.data.start) < dp.visibleStart()) {
        args.data.areas.push({
            left: 0,
            top: 15,
            width: 0,
            height: 0,
            style: "border-color: transparent red transparent transparent;border-style:solid;border-width:5px;"
        })
    }
    if (new DayPilot.Date(args.data.end) > dp.visibleEnd()) {
        args.data.areas.push({
            right: 0,
            top: 15,
            width: 0,
            height: 0,
            style: "border-color: transparent transparent transparent red;border-style:solid;border-width:5px;"
        })
    }
};
