They’ve asked me to replace the lightbox so I can customize the screen with ajax and stuff like that.
I saw the example where
Is there a way to use the recurring section of the lightbox in my new custom screen?
TIA,
David
This is the way I plan to replace the lightbox. Just that I don’t know how to put the recurring or daily scheduling section of the original lightbox in it without programming it.
Unfortunately the recurring section ( same as other sections ) can be reused only if you are using native lightbox. If you plan to use a custom lightbox - you will need to create your own version of recurring section as well.
Ok. I think there are references to how I can add recurring events into the tables. My boss is intent on adding a couple minor features like a code lookup which requires ajax and it’s going to require a complete re-write of this screen. My other colleague reminds me that I get paid by the house and shouldn’t worry lol.
Thanks,

For custom form you will need to create any kind of UI which will set 3 properties of event object
rec_type - recurence string
event_lenght - lenght of event in seconds
end_date - end_date of last event occurence ( if you have event with no end-date, it need to be set to some distant future )
That’s good. It looks like I can recreate the recurring section without too much pain.
Apart from the recurring section, it looks like I have to understand how to transform the existing fields. My code has built up and I’m not sure what the effort level will be.
I wish I could keep the existing lightbox. He’s asked me to add a couple features.
The 1st is a text field with a button next to it that displays a lookup value in a popup box. (case title lookup and visual validation).
The 2nd is a field with a button next to it that performs a task (emails the event).
Is there anyway I can place a button next to the field rather than at the bottom using the lightbox?
Yes, you can create a custom sections in lightbox ( basically you can place any html controls in the lightbox )
docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/custom … ditor.html
Creating a custom section looks as much easier task compared to reimplementing recurring section.
Awesome. I’ll try that
Thanks,
David
I’m not sure how this works yet. Trying to add the button into the custom editor. So far just been able to add an existing field.
I would like to add the cases_button to the custom editor. Is this possible?
-D
// current button
scheduler.config.buttons_right = [“cases_button”];
scheduler.locale.labels[“cases_button”] = “Cases”;
scheduler.attachEvent(“onLightboxButton”, function(button_id, node, e){
var id = scheduler.getState().select_id;
if(button_id == "cases_button"){
window.open("/scheduler/event_cases/"+id,'_blank');
}
…
// new custom editor with missing button
scheduler.form_blocks[“my_editor”] = {
render:function(sns) {
return "
// lightbox section
scheduler.config.lightbox.sections=[
{ name:“description”, height:25, map_to:“text”, type:“textarea”, focus:true },
{name:“event_type”, height:20, type:“select”, options: event_type, map_to:“event_type”,
onchange: onTypeChange },
//{ name:“case_num”, height:25, map_to:“case_num”, type:“textarea”, size:“15”, focus:tr
ue },
{ name:“case_num”, height:25, map_to:“case_num”, type:“my_editor”, size:“15”, focus:tru
e },
// result (pretty much like it was before I had the custom editor)
Enter Case # 2011CA016032
(would like the button that’s showing up on the bottom to be here)
I figured it out
I added the link in the code below
Yay!
Thanks,
-David
scheduler.form_blocks["case_editor"] = {
render:function(sns) {
var id = scheduler.getState().select_id;
return "<div class='dhx_cal_ltext' style='height:30px;'> <input type='case
_num’>
enter more cases";
},
set_value:function(node, value, ev) {
node.childNodes[1].value = value || “”;
//node.childNodes[3].value = ev.case_num || “”;
},
get_value:function(node, ev) {
//ev.case_num = node.childNodes[3].value;
return node.childNodes[1].value;
},
focus:function(node) {
var a = node.childNodes[1];
a.select();
a.focus();
}
};
added target="_blank" after the href and it’s perfect

I’m having problems with the custom lightbox sections. 1) I’m not sure how to map to a checkbox with an int value of 1 or 0. 2) when I reference a second field it doesn’t work anymore (ie node.childNodes[4].value = ev.details || “”; )
The example works fine so I’m not sure why mine would not. (samples/02_customization/05_custom_editor.html). the childNodes is 4 in that case with corresponds to the 5th element of the data.xml
I have other problems with the custom lightbox section but these are the primary one’s to complete one of my items.

Code example:
scheduler.form_blocks["my_editor"] = {
render:function(sns) {
return "<div class='dhx_cal_ltext' style='height:30px;'>Text <input type='
text’>
Details ";
},
set_value:function(node, value, ev) {
node.childNodes[1].value = value || “”;
node.childNodes[4].value = ev.details || “”;
},
get_value:function(node, ev) {
ev.details = node.childNodes[4].value;
return node.childNodes[1].value;
},
focus:function(node) {
var a = node.childNodes[1];
a.select();
a.focus();
}

I should have a section with two checkup boxes that looks like the following
Thanks,
David
example:
Mark Event Private (un/checked) Active (un/checked)
Working with checkboxes requires a bit different code for custom editor.
Check the attached sample.
05_custom_editor.zip (1.13 KB)
Awesome,
I’m checking it out
-D
This worked like a charm.
Thanks so much,
David
I’m have a problem with the checkbox editor in IE 8,9
When I enter the lightbox it doesn’t show the previous selected value
(In Chrome and Firefox it does)

Late in the day sorry. It’s actually a list box editor area as you can see…

This is what the source is looking like

The previous picture was IE and here’s a picture of the working Chrome
