Adding custom database fields

Scheduler Javascript
#1

I just started using dhtmlxScheduler and I’m trying to pass in a custom variable (example xid) to be stored in the database when an event is created. I saw in another post to add the variable to the xml file but I haven’t been able to retrieve the variable when the event is created. I have all the normal functionality working (create, edit, delete); I just can’t figure out how to pass custom variables through dhtmlxScheduler to the script to save to the database. Is there something I need to do to add the custom variable to the event form? I’m using ASP.NET MVC 3.

Here is an example of my data xml file:

<data>
        <event id="2">
            <start_date><![CDATA[ 06/02/2011 10:00]]></start_date>
            <end_date><![CDATA[ 06/02/2011 14:00]]></end_date>
            <text><![CDATA[Available ]]></text>
            <xid><![CDATA[1]]></xid>
        </event>
        <event id="3">
            <start_date><![CDATA[ 06/04/2011 08:00]]></start_date>
            <end_date><![CDATA[ 06/04/2011 12:00]]></end_date>
            <text><![CDATA[Available]]></text>
            <xid><![CDATA[1]]></xid>
        </event>
  </data>

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hello,

If you send such xml to the client then all events will have that ‘xid’ property. Also it will be send back to the server after update operation.

If you want that variable to be displayed on the lightbox form then you need to modify it’s configuration, check Detail’s form page in our documentation.

Best regards,
