Default Event Text

Scheduler Javascript
#1

I discovered this thread in the ASP forum about setting the text in a new event

viewtopic.php?f=25&t=28344

Is that only for the ASP version? because I tried using that in the regular scheduler, and it would not work.

I know I could achieve the same functionality by using ev.text in onEventCreate, but is there a config setting for this?

Hi,
there is no such config, you should use onEventCreate event

Ok, thanks - I’ll do it via onEventCreate

But, I would have thought that an option to provide a blank text field instead of “New Event” would be useful to many uses.

Actually, there IS a config for it.

I did some digging in the source code and discovered it.

scheduler.locale.labels.new_event will allow you to change the default event text.

Sorry, my mistake, you can set initial text with this one.
However the general solution for initial values for other event properties is onEventCreate event

Yes, I am using that in the more general scenario, but, in this particular circumstance, I wanted to get rid of the “New Event” text, and the scheduler.locale.labels.new_event is more appropriate.
