Hi,
I am trying to create a units view like this:
scheduler.createUnitsView(“unit”,“user”,keyLabelPairs);
where user is an event property which is a string. When I use the view and add events which have the user property to the scheduler, the unit view just shows all the events in the left hand column. All the individual columns are created properly. I have looked in the DOM using firebug and the key and labels are as expected, and the events have the correct user string added.
Is this not working because the key is a string? Does the key property of keyLabelPairs have to be a numerical value as in your examples? What else could be happening?
Cheers

he unit view just shows all the events in the left hand column
Such can occur if event has not “user” property at all, in such case, scheduler will set first available option by defalt
Be sure that you have “user” value in data xml ( name of field was added to connector’s configuration )
Also, be sure that keyLabelPairs contains an options with such “user” values as in data xml.
Hi,
I am loading the events in via DWR so creating a new event object where the args are variables defined in previous lines or supplied to a parent method:
AjaxEventUpdater.retrieveBookingsForUser(str, typeValue, {
async:false,
callback:function (bookings) {
//add events if they have any
if (bookings != null) {
for (var i=0; i<bookings.length; i++) {
var booking = bookings[i];
var eventStart = booking.openingTime;
var eventEnd = booking.closingTime;
eventStart.formatDate(‘d-m-Y H:i’);
eventEnd.formatDate(‘d-m-Y H:i’);
var textString = “”;
if (booking.student != null) {
textString = booking.student.firstName + " " + booking.student.lastName + “
Edit::Run”;
}
str = userName.replace(/"/g, ‘’);
scheduler.addEvent({
start_date: eventStart,
end_date: eventEnd,
text: textString,
user: userName,
id: booking.id
});
}
}
}
});
I have checked in the DOM that keyValuePairs is present and contains the correct keys. I have also checked in the DOM that the events are there and have this user property.
The events are all still in the wrong column. Any clues?
Cheers

Please check that userName is the desired user key.
Hi,
That previous code had some quote-removal code in as I thought that may be causing the problem but it makes no difference.
Here is some corrected code.
AjaxEventUpdater.retrieveBookingsForUser(userName, typeValue, {
async:false,
callback:function (bookings) {
//add events if they have any
if (bookings != null) {
for (var i=0; i<bookings.length; i++) {
var booking = bookings[i];
var eventStart = booking.openingTime;
var eventEnd = booking.closingTime;
eventStart.formatDate(‘d-m-Y H:i’);
eventEnd.formatDate(‘d-m-Y H:i’);
var textString = “”;
if (booking.student != null) {
textString = booking.student.firstName + " " + booking.student.lastName + “
Edit::Run”;
}
scheduler.addEvent({
start_date: eventStart,
end_date: eventEnd,
text: textString,
user: userName,
id: booking.id
});
}
}
}
});
I have double checked and triple checked and quadruple checked that these are correct. The values for the key and user for the event are the same in the DOM, but they are still put in the incorrect column. The scheduler._props.unit object has the property map_to=“user” so it is definitely looking in the correct field. Examples in the docs and on Knowledge Base show that creating your own field name in the event is possible but all the other examples use a numeric value. I would like to avoid this if possible.
Thanks for your continued help.

Please provide the example of code for units view configuration.
And the example od addEvent method (with values (no variables) that you try to insert)
Hi again
Here is all the code to do with the view and how the unit view is generated and populated.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Cheers
Paul
The provided code can’t be tested. We need to result of the executing getUsers method - something like keyLabelPairs = [{key:1, label:“User A”},{key:2, label:“User B”}] , and the parameters that you pass to the addEvent method (values instead of variables).
Now with no variables:
Is this suitable to test? As I have said, the keys are not numerical, they are strings. Is this what is causing the problem? Even from looking at dhtmlxscheduler_units.js, it is not clear.
Cheers
Paul
We have tested the following:
scheduler.config.xml_date="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i";
scheduler.config.api_date="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i";
var keyLabelPairs = [{key:‘artetam’, label:‘Mikel Arteta’},
{key:‘fellainim’, label:‘Marouane Fellaini’},
{key:‘cahillt’, label:‘Tim Cahill’},
{key:‘pienaars’, label:‘Stephen Pienaar’}
];
…
scheduler.createUnitsView(“unit”,“user”,keyLabelPairs);
scheduler.init(‘scheduler_here’,new Date(2009,10,5),“unit”);
scheduler.addEvent({
id:1,
start_date:“2009-11-20 10:00”,
end_date:“2009-11-20 12:00”,
text:“Event text”,
user: ‘cahillt’
});
The event has been added into the 3rd unit.
I think this must be due to what the variables are generating - maybe some null characters getting inserted, or extra quote marks or something… I will check the values (again).
Thanks for your help.
