How can you detect if an event is the master recurring event or not?
I would like to change all other recurring events normally (by inserting it), but if you delete the master event – then delete all the recurring events with its event_pid.
Master event has not event_pid value
if (!scheduler.getEvent(id).event_pid) do_some();Also there is a getRecDates API, which will give dates of all events occurrences based on master id ( so you can get list of dates on which events need to be inserted in DB before deleting master event )
I tried this back-end in PHP and the event_pid was showing up as the primary_key ID, even for the master event.
When I viewed the ‘ev’ object it still showed the event_pid as 5, even though in the database for the master event it was 0 because it is the master event…
Fields exists in DB, so all events will have it, but master event will contain empty value as event_pid
When I viewed the ‘ev’ object it still showed the event_pid as 5
Can you provide a snippet of code which you are using to check properties of master event?
function alertObj(obj){
alert(JSON.stringify(obj));
} scheduler.showLightbox = function(id) {
var mode = scheduler.getState().mode;
var new_event = scheduler.getState().new_event;
var ev = scheduler.getEvent(id);
var type = EVENT_TYPE[ev.event_type];
scheduler.startLightbox(id, html("event_form"));
html("text").focus();
var id = ev.id;
if(id.length>0){
var recTime = id.split("#");
if(recTime[1]){
var date = new Date(recTime[1]*1000);
var formattedTime = date.getFullYear() + '-' + date.getMonth() + '-' + date.getDate();
}
}
if(ev.issue_id){
html("accountIssue").style.display = '';
html("issue_id").value = ev.issue_id;
html("issue_idText").innerHTML = "#"+ev.issue_id;
html("issue_idText").setAttribute('class','link');
html("issue_idText").href="?module=iss&do=view&id="+ev.issue_id;
html("accountClear").style.display = '';
html("accountText").style.display = 'none';
html("accountText1").style.display = 'none';
html("accountText2").style.display = 'none';
html("accountText3").style.display = 'none';
html("acc_search_result").style.border = 'none';
} else {
if(type=='Onsite' || type=='Remote'){
html("accountClear").style.display = '';
html("accountText").style.display = '';
html("acc_search_result").style.border = 'none';
html("accountIssue").style.display = 'none';
} else {
html("acc_search").value = '';
html("accountClear").style.display = 'none';
html("accountText").style.display = 'none';
html("accountText1").style.display = 'none';
html("accountText2").style.display = 'none';
html("accountText3").style.display = 'none';
html("acc_search_result").style.border = 'none';
html("accountIssue").style.display = 'none';
}
}
html("text").value = ev.text || "";
selectOption("start_time",timeFormat(ev.start_date));
selectOption("end_time",timeFormat(ev.end_date));
slider_start.setValue(timeFormat(ev.start_date).replace(':',''));
slider_end.setValue(timeFormat(ev.end_date).replace(':',''));
html("start_date").value = dateFormat(ev.start_date);
html("end_date").value = dateFormat(ev.end_date);
html("description").value = ev.descr || "Enter a description here";
combo.setComboValue((ev.user_id) || "");
if(scheduler.getState().new_event){
html('rec_dateText').style.display='';
html('rec_dateBody').style.display='';
html('rec_dateClear').style.display='';
} else {
html('rec_box').style.display='none';
html('rec_dateText').style.display='none';
html('rec_dateBody').style.display='none';
html('rec_dateClear').style.display='none';
}
selectOption("event_type",(ev.event_type||0));
switch(ev.event_type){
case "0":
html("event_form").className=EVENT_FORM[ev.event_type];
break;
default:
html("event_form").className=EVENT_FORM[html("event_type").selectedIndex];
break;
}
}; It seems that you are using custom form, in such case built-in logic of recurring events will not work. For already existing event ( created by built-in lightbox ) you can check ev.event_pid, but if event was created by custom lightbox - it will not have such mark.
I figured out a solution!
Turns out this is all you need. If you delete the master event client side, it will delete all the events. Everything else is normal.
function beforeProcessing($action){
define('ORIG_ID', $action->get_value("timesheet_id"));
....
} function afterProcessing($action){
if($action->get_value("event_pid")==intval(ORIG_ID)){
if($action->get_value("rec_type")==""){}
if($action->get_value("rec_type")=="none"){
mysql_query("DELETE FROM timesheets WHERE timesheet_id='".$action->get_value("event_pid")."' || event_pid='".$action->get_value("event_pid")."'");
$action->set_response_attribute("result","MASTER_EVENT_DELETED");
}
}
}And if you want to load it properly client side
dataProcessor.defineAction("inserted",function(response){
if(response.getAttribute("result")=="MASTER_EVENT_DELETED")location.reload();
return true;
}); Still thinking of a way to prevent you from editing the master event. Right now if the master event start & end date is edited it must be deleted twice, because the timesheet_id changed.
