kendo UI Doesn't work Asp.net MVC 5.2 - asp.net-mvc

I install kendo ui asp.net mvc 2018.1.117 and 2016.
1. I add Style and JS Folder to my project and renamed both of them to "kendo" .
2. add reference to my project
3. I didn't config BundleConfig.cs because there was no BundleConfig.cs in my project
4. I add namespace to web.config
5. I add Styles and ... manually in my project like :
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/bootstrap.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/kendo.common-material.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/kendo.mobile.all.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/kendo/kendo.material.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo/jquery.min.js")"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo/angular.min.js")"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo/jszip.min.js")"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo/kendo.all.min.js")"></script>
I did all these steps and when I add kendo date Picker it doesn't work:
#(Html.Kendo().DatePicker().Name("datepicker"))
When I click inspect element it shows my css and js file but kendo ui doesn't work.

Bundling in ASP.NET Core 2.2 MVC dev vs prod environments

I am setting up my application to bundle css and js files when not in development, and not bundle when in development.
To do that I first have a bundleconfig.json file:
[
{
"outputFileName": "wwwroot/css/bundle.min.css",
"inputFiles": [
"wwwroot/lib/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css",
"wwwroot/lib/jqueryui.jquery-ui.min.css"
]
},
{
"outputFileName": "wwwroot/js/bundle.min.js",
"inputFiles": [
"wwwroot/lib/jquery/jquery.min.js",
"wwwroot/lib/jqueryui/jquery-ui.min.js",
"wwwroot/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.js"
]
}
]
Then in my page I have a head tag:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>#ViewBag.Title</title>
<environment exclude="development">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/bundle.min.css" asp-append-version="true" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/js/bundle.min.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
</environment>
<environment include="development">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/lib/bootstrap/bootstrap.css" asp-append-version="true" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/lib/jqueryui/jquery-ui.css" asp-append-version="true" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/lib/jquery/jquery.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/lib/jqueryui/jquery-ui.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
</environment>
</head>
This all works fine. I'm just not a fan of the fact that I have to duplicate the list of files in the budingconfig.json and in the development environment tag in the header.
In WebForms project I can use <%: Scripts.Render("...") %> and it will generate links for each item in the bundle if in development mode, and it will generate 1 link for the bundle if not in development mode. Is something like this available in .net core MVC projects as well?
There is no build-in way to do this in ASP.NET Core. However it is pretty straight forward to roll your own.
Mad Christensen has build an unpacker for MVC5 and here is a gist that adapts it to .NET Core.
You use it like this:
<environment names="Development">
#Bundler.Unpack(HostingEnvironment.ContentRootPath, "/js/site.min.js")
</environment>
However, if you have no specific reason to include each file other than debugging you can also rely an sourcemaps. There is a flag in the bundleconfig for this. ( "sourceMap": true )
You can try a TagHelper like the following
https://github.com/meziantou/Meziantou.AspNetCore.BundleTagHelpers
That will help you what you want to achieve. Instead of writing following type of code
<environment names="Development">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/site1.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/site2.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/site3.css" />
</environment>
<environment names="Staging,Production">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/site.min.css" asp-append-version="true" />
</environment>
You can only write this:
<bundle name="wwwroot/css/site.min.css" />
In production, it uses the minified file and appends the version in
the query string (same behavior as asp-append-version).
In development, it uses all input files and does not append version.

How to use open source version of Kendo UI in MVC application

I see Telerik provides open source version of Kendo UI at following URL
http://www.telerik.com/download/kendo-ui-core
I downloaded it but not able to make it work in ASP.NET MVC application.
I am not sure what i am missing. I make a call to CSS and JS files as mentioned in below link:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/asp-net-mvc-4
Although I am missing one step Add reference to Kendo.Mvc.dll because Telerik don't provide installer in free version and I need JavaScript version of Kendo UI not with MVC selector.
Any idea here?
If you go to: http://dojo.telerik.com/
The default page contains everything you will need to get up and running and in what order:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.2.716/styles/kendo.common.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.2.716/styles/kendo.rtl.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.2.716/styles/kendo.default.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.2.716/styles/kendo.dataviz.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.2.716/styles/kendo.dataviz.default.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.2.716/styles/kendo.mobile.all.min.css">

<script src="http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.2.716/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
If it is still not working after you put this in your page then something else is going on.
Comment out the following line in _layout.cshtml page
##Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")#
and add the below lines at the end of the head section :
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.2.903/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>

Jquery UI datepicker spoiling style and icons

I am facing problem of stabilizing styles in my html page.
Whenever I am using datepicker (jqmobile UI datepicker), the look and feel is affected terribly. The icons on the header, the icons for closing dialog, the icons for type dropdown all vanishes.
Here is my header portion,
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title></title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link href="jquery-mobile/styles/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery-mobile/styles/jqm-icon-pack-fa.css" >
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<link type="text/css" href="styles/datepicker.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link type="text/css" href="jquery-mobile/styles/jquery.mobile.simpledialog.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="cordova.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery-mobile/js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery-mobile/js/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-mobile/js/jquery.mobile.simpledialog2.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/Common.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/FlightServices.js"></script>
</head>
If I comment out the line:
link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css
then the icons appear properly but datepicker style is spoiled.
If I put this line:
script src="scripts/datepicker.js"
instead of :
script src="scripts/jquery-ui.js"
Datepicker is completely disabled.
Is there any mistake I am making in this above mentioned portion?
Any wrong file included?
Anyone any suggestion, I shall be thankful.
Thanks

The order of style sheets is important.
Change the order of style sheets instead of keeping one or the other. Usually, the themes style sheet template should be added first and then, your own style sheet(main.css) which adds in your own modifications to the base template. Edit your main.css to super-impose major conflicts.
I would also recommend putting the mobile style sheets conditionally for mobile platforms only unless this page is strictly for mobile anyways.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<link href="jquery-mobile/styles/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery-mobile/styles/jqm-icon-pack-fa.css" >
<link href="styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Primefaces with CDNResourceHandler

I am pushing my static files to a CND for my web application. To do so I've used OmniFaces CDNResourceHandler that works fine. Except, my styles do not follow.
I am mapped as so :
javax.faces:jsf.js=http://.../jsf.js,
primefaces:primefaces.js=http://.../primefaces.js,
primefaces:jquery/jquery.js=http://.../jquery.js,
primefaces:jquery/jquery-plugins.js=http://.../jquery-plugins.js,
primefaces:idlemonitor/idlemonitor.js=http://.../idlemonitor.js,
primefaces-smoothness:theme.css=http://.../theme.css,
primefaces:primefaces.css=http://.../primefaces.css,
styles:main04.css=http://.../main04.css,
This works fine, except that my styles are all off. The rendered result is the same as when theme.css AND primefaces.css are not loaded.
If I remove these resources as being handled by the CDNResourceHandler, the page loads as desired. I can confirm that these files are being loaded by on the page (Inspect Element-> resources in web browser show that these are there and loaded).
Has anyone experienced PrimeFaces styles not working through CDN? Is there a way to get this to work?
My application runs on :
OmniFaces 1.6
Primefaces 3.5
Majorra 2.2
Glassfish 3.1.2.2 (also tried on Glassfish 4)
Edit 1
I have looked into this a bit further and it seems that the css files are not process : something with #{resources[]} within the CSS remains as such. This would be due to the file not meeting the Faces Servlet url-pattern. This leads me to believe to achieve what I am looking for I will need the CND resources to be processed...?
Edit 2
The weird thing is that the generated HTML has all the loaded resources. It just seems that the resources (Primefaces styles) are not processed if loaded via CDN.
This is the resources loaded when the page DOES NOT WORK. Everything is functional, except for the basic styles provided by Primefaces.
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://.../theme.css" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://.../primefaces.css" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://.../main04.css" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://.../main_compact.css" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://.../ironmanCompact.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../primefaces.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../idlemonitor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../jquery-plugins.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../jsf.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../jquery.ba-postmessage.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../tracker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../socialMedia.js"></script>
By removing the Primefaces styles from the CDN, this following generated HTML works perfectly and generates the page as it should.
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/myapp/javax.faces.resource/theme.css.xhtml?ln=primefaces-smoothness" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/myapp/javax.faces.resource/primefaces.css.xhtml?ln=primefaces" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://.../main04.css" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://.../main_compact.css" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://.../ironmanCompact.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../primefaces.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../idlemonitor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../jquery-plugins.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../jsf.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../jquery.ba-postmessage.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../tracker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://.../socialMedia.js"></script>
Just replace the jsf resource lookup by a classic css lookup.
When i externalized my themes this were just two mass-replacements in my ide.
Instead of:
background:url("#{resource['primefaces:colorpicker/images/colorpicker_select.gif']}");
Use:
background:url("images/colorpicker_select.gif");
Or download changed resource and mapping from here:

p:fileDownload not working with h:head

I have a <p:download> like this:
<h:form id="form1">
<p:commandButton id="downloadLink" value="Download" ajax="false" onclick="PrimeFaces.monitorDownload(start, stop)"
icon="ui-icon-arrowthichk-s" actionListener="#{search.downloadActionListener}">
<p:fileDownload value="#{search.dwnloadFile}" />
</p:commandButton>
</h:form>
It doesn't work. The download button just reloads the page and doesn't show the Save As dialog. After checking every single thing, I came to know that if I remove the <h:head> tag from the page, then it starts to work.
I can't work without <h:head> as PrimeFaces look'n'feel and all ajax functionality depends on it.
Update: the generated HTML <head> with <h:head> is like this:
<head>
<link href="/Project2.0/javax.faces.resource/themes/sam/theme.css.xhtml?ln=icefaces.ace" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<link href="../Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="../Styles/jquery-ui-1.8.6.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
and without <h:head> it's like this:
<head>
<title>
Project
</title>
<link href="../Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="../Styles/jquery-ui-1.8.6.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
The HTML output of the <h:head> suggests that you're mixing PrimeFaces with ICEfaces. The main cause of your concrete problem is this script from ICEfaces:
<script src="/Project2.0/javax.faces.resource/icefaces-compat.js.xhtml" type="text/javascript"></script>
This basically turns every non-ajax submit button into an ajax submit button. This also includes the download button. But you cannot download files with ajax.
Remove ICEfaces altogether. You don't need it. It's basically a clone of PrimeFaces 2.x. But if you're already using PrimeFaces 3.x, then ICEfaces has utterly no additional value. Perhaps it was a leftover from previous experimenting with various JSF component libraries.
See also:
ICEfaces libary in classpath prevents Save As dialog from popping up on file download
Unrelated to the concrete problem, the HTML output also suggests that you're also having RichFaces in the runtime classpath. Whilst that should theoretically work fine together with PrimeFaces, I wouldn't recommend mixing them. RichFaces has in essence nothing which PrimeFaces doesn't already offer.
