Hi,
when editing an individual event in a series of a recurring event, it is supposed to save the event_id of the original recurring event as the event_pid, but instead it is saving some huge number which is seemingly random. Pls help me!
By any chance, are you eding instance of event while the master event was created but not saved yet?
The “huge number” is a temporary ID, which is assinged for newly created events. And will be changed with actual Id after event saving in DB.
Hi,
the sequence of what happens:
- I create a recuring event.
- I reload the calendar page completely in new browser. Recurring event is correctly displayed.
- I edit an instance of the recurring event. It immediately displays correctly, BUT in databse it saves event_pid as the temporary id, not the recurring event master event_id.
- I reload the calendar in new browser. Recurring event is now showing two entries on that day. This is because the pid i not the same as rec event master event_id.
I found some code elsewhere on thye forum:
[code]scheduler.attachEvent(“onEventIdChange”, function(event_id,event_object){
if(event_id!='' && scheduler.getEvent(event_id).rec_type){
var eventText = event_object.text;
var repeatArray = new Array();
var repeatArray = scheduler.getRecDates(event_id);
var repeatCount = repeatArray.length;
var new_id = scheduler.uid();
for (var i = 0; i < repeatCount; i++){
var start_date = repeatArray[i]['start_date'];
var end_date = repeatArray[i]['end_date'];
scheduler._add_rec_marker(scheduler.getEvent(new_id),start_date);
scheduler.addEvent({
start_date: start_date,
end_date: end_date,
text:eventText,
event_pid:event_id,
event_length:start_date.valueOf()/1000,
rec_type:""
}
);
}
if (new_id!=event_id); //added
dp.setUpdated(new_id, true, "inserted"); //added
new_id = scheduler.uid(); //added
}
else return true;
});[/code]
but this does not change the pid in the db at all. No difference. Any ideas pls?
Hello,
Please enable log in your events.php file, repeat steps to reproduce this issue and post logs here.
$scheduler->enable_log("recurring_log.txt",true);Best regards,

Hi Ilya,
I would if I could, but as I am using ASP and ot php, that might be tricky. I can try to explain a bit more what I have as logic in my data processor (I might be completely wrong in my insert/update/delete logic!):

Hello,
To narrow the root of the problem a bit can you please reproduce the same steps with Firefox and Firebug enabled?
We are interested in what is sent to the server – if correct event_pid is sent then the problem is somewhere in the server side script.
Check screenshot.
Best regards,
Ilya
firebug is not allowed install on my pc ;( so I ran fiddler2 to get same info from IE:

ids=1294675531543it seems that the master event is randomly serialized when displayed. I use multisource, mapview and I have to have scheduler.config.prevent_cache = true; or the calendar fails to load recurring events and generally screws up.
I DO read in the database event id correctly:
SQLString = "SELECT [ID]" _
& ",[start_date]" _
& ",[end_date]" _
& ",[text]" _
& ",[details]" _
& ",[rYear]" _
& ",[TERRITORYID]" _
& ",[CUS_ID]" _
& ",[event_location]" _
& ",[lat]" _
& ",[lng]" _
& ",[rMonth]" _
& ",[Expr1]" _
& ",[rec_type]" _
& ",[event_length]" _
& ",[event_pid]" _
& ",[addressloc]" _
& ",[eventtype]" _
& ",[outcome]" _
& " FROM [dbo].[geolocEvents_view] where TERRITORYID = '"&tID&"' AND rYear=year(getdate()) AND rMonth=month(getdate()) AND deleted<>1"
which is then turned into xml like so:
[code]objRS.Open SQLString, CRMConn
response.write("")
'Loop through the Recordset
Do While Not objRS.EOF
response.write("")
response.write("<event_id></event_id>")
response.write("<start_date></start_date>")
response.write("<end_date></end_date>")
response.write("")
response.write("<event_name></event_name>")
response.write("<customer_drop></customer_drop>")
response.write("")
response.write("<event_location></event_location>")
response.write("")
response.write("")
response.write("<rec_type></rec_type>")
response.write("<event_length></event_length>")
response.write("<address_drop></address_drop>")
response.write("")
response.write("")
response.write("<event_pid></event_pid>")
response.write("")
objRS.MoveNext
Loop
CRMConn.Close
Set CRMConn= Nothing
response.write("")[/code]
also, having checked the inner html of the data divs they look like this:
<div class="dhx_cal_event_clear" style="position: absolute; width: 114px; top: 587px; left: 258px;" event_id="1294677757838">That event_id SHOULD be the actual event_id I retrieve from the database; not this long weird number.
Scheduler will generate unique ids during data loading - only if datasource has not native IDs
Double check , that data generated by your server side script has valid IDs
umm, yeah, found it. the id for each event was padded in the xml. not an easy one to spot when you don’t know where to look.
Again thanks so much for your patience and insights!
I may come back with some further issues later… trying to use the help you have given others as a first resort.
Thanks!
