events not updated?

Scheduler Javascript
#1

Hey everyone,

   I've stumbled upon an odd "problem", so to speak. You see, suppose I have an event and I double-click on it to show its details. Now, I close the lightbox and then, go straight into the database and change something about the event I just checked. Now, if I go back to the scheduler and double-click again on the event, the scheduler does not detect the change that just happened in the database and I see out of sync data.

In the “init” function, I’ve used “scheduler.config.prevent_cache = true;” thinking it would prevent such a thing from happening but apparently not.

To be frank, it’s not that big of a problem since all I have to do to correct this is refresh the page and changing the data straight from the database isn’t something that’s meant to happen very often, but it still puzzles me why the scheduler does not interrogates the database upon double-clicking on an event even with the “prevent_cache” activated.

Is there a way to have the scheduler interrogate the database upon double-clicking on an event instead of using its own cached version?

Thanks in advance

“prevent cache” - forces data loading from the server side, but it will not provide such functionality as need in your case, scheduler will not reload data from server side for each description show.

why the scheduler does not interrogates the database upon double-clicking on an event
It is too time consuming, as result it will look as slow application, because of data loading times , each time when you just want to see details.

Next code will force data updating before opening lightbox

var last_fetched = null; scheduler.attachEvent("onBeforeLightbox", function(id){ if (last_fetched == id ) return true; last_fetched = id; scheduler.load("data.php", function(){ scheduler.showLightbox(id); }); })

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:
