Use partial View in Kendo Scheduler - asp.net-mvc

I want to use partial view as a Custom editor for Kendo Scheduler.
I know that we can use HTML code as a string for Custom Editor Template.
For Using Partial View as a Custom Editor Template I am trying something like::
.Editable(x=>x.Template(#Html.Partial('PartialViewEditor')))
but this is not acceptable.
How can i use my Partial view as a Kendo Editor Template? Thanks in Advance.

I have found an alternate way to use partial view with Kendo Scheduler.
You can use .Editable(x=>x.Template("#= getCustomTemplate() #") but this will use the default binding templates of Kendo Scheduler Editor.
But I want to use my own partial view with all bindings.
So I have decided to go through following steps to achieve it:\
Step 1) Use Edit Event of Kendo scheduler as::
.Events(e =>
{
e.Edit("EventScheduler_edit");
})
step 2) You can restrict the default functionality of Scheduler event edit using Javascript's e.preventDefault();
and then you can make your own ajax request to Get Strongly typed partial View From Server side as::
function EventScheduler_edit(e) {
//Prevent to Popup scheduler Editor
e.preventDefault();
//And open custom editor instead
kendo.ui.progress($("#loading1"), true);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: rootUrl("Calendar/GetPartialViewForEventEditor"),
data: {EventID:e.event.EventID},
success: function (response) {
$("#EventEditorWindow").empty();
$("#EventEditorWindow").html(response);
$popup1 = $("#EventEditorWindow");
var wnd1 = $popup1.kendoWindow({
actions: ["Close"],
modal: true,
resizable: false,
animation: false
}).data('kendoWindow').center().open();
var tmp = $popup1.data("kendoWindow");
tmp.title("Event window");
//EventScheduler_edit
$("#EventEditorWindow").find("#Start").data('kendoDateTimePicker').value(e.event.start);
$("#EventEditorWindow").find("#End").data('kendoDateTimePicker').value(e.event.end);
kendo.ui.progress($("#loading1"), false);
}
});
};
Thats it!!!

Try this:
.Editable(x=>x.Template("#= getCustomTemplate() #")
<script>
function getCustomTemplate()
{
var html = ''; //design your HTML here and treat this script like your partial view
return html;
}
</script>

How to call partial view in script section

I am new in MVC. I have a button when i click it should go to a partial view and return data i need. I do not know how should i achieve that:
Main view:
<script>
if ($("#btnFilter").click(function () {
#{Html.RenderPartial("partialView"); }
}));
</script>
partial view
var dtDrpVals = new selectedDateDrpdnVal();
debugger;
$.ajax({
dataType: "json",
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("controller","Dashbrd")",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: JSON.stringify({ "regionalManager": dtDrpVals.drpValue, "dtFrom": dtDrpVals.fromDate, "dtTo": dtDrpVals.toDate }),
success: function (result) {
}
});
In the html define a div where you want the partial to be located in and in the ajax success put the result of the call to the controller into that div, assuming you are returning a partialview:
$("#The id of the div").html(result);
The best way to do it is Make an Action in your ASP.NET controller that returns a Partial View and in your jquery, you should make an AJAX call to that action with required parameters that eventually will return a Partial View to your Jquery, and the data you will receive from your action will be of type 'HTML' and not JSON.
once you receive HTML data in your success function of AJAX call you can replace it with any Div.

JQuery UI Autocomplete widget not working on a bootstrap modal

I have a bootstrap modal dialog on which I have a textbox that I want to leverage the functionality of jQuery UI Autocomplete widget. However the autocomplete widget isn't being fired at all. I know this as I placed a breakpoint on the action on my controller that should return the Json to be rendered by the autocomplete textbox. The action is never hit
Out of curiosity that I was doing something wrong, I copy pasted the textbox onto a View and to my dismay, the breakpoint on my action in the controller is hit. I have narrowed this down to the fact that may be the textbox is never wired to use the autocomplete feature once the DOM has loaded.
Here is the textbox on my modal
<input type="text" name="someName" id="autocomplete" data-autocomplete-url="#Url.Action("Autocomplete", "warehouses")" />
Here is the action method that returns the Json
public ActionResult Autocomplete(string term)
{
string[] names = { "Auma", "Dennis", "Derrick", "Dylan", "Mary", "Martha", "Marie", "Milly", "Abel", "Maria", "Bergkamp", "Arsene", "Alex", "Mwaura", "Achieng" };
var filtered = names.Where(a => a.IndexOf(term, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0);
return Json(filtered, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
And here is how I wire up the textbox to use the autocomplete widget
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete({
source: $(this).data('autocomplete-url'),
data: {term: $(this).val() }
});
});
I have seen similar questions asked but none of them was due to the action not being hit.
As per the documentation for Bootstrap 3, they expose a set of events that you can hook into with most of their JS features.
In this case the events are:
show, shown, hide, hidden and loaded
The following code will initialize your autocomplete input field after the modal has been shown. (replace myModal with the id of the modal you are going to show)
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
$("#autocomplete').autocomplete('destroy'); //remove autocompete to reattach
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete({
source: $(this).data('autocomplete-url'),
data: {term: $(this).val() }
});
});
});
If you are fetching a partial that contains the input field and appending it to the modal during the toggle, it will be better to do this initialization in the callback from that ajax request.

ASP.NET: How to get from Dropdownlist to Autocomplete

I have a dropdownlist and want to turn it into autocomplete using jquery.
The dropdown looks like this and works:
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.CategoryID, new SelectList(Model.Categories, "ID", "Name", Model.CategoryID), "Categories", new { #class = "form-control" })
I also added an autocomplete field using jquery that works. But so far I can only populate it with dummy data:
$(function () {
var availableTags = [
"ActionScript",
"AppleScript",
"Asp"
];
$("#tags").autocomplete({
source: availableTags
});
});
How can I populate my dropdown field with the data that is available in the dropdown?
Thank you in advance!
You need to set the source as an action method which returns data you want to show as autocomplete option in JSON format.
$(function(){
$("#tags" ).autocomplete({
source: "#Url.Action("SearchCategories","Home")",
minLength: 1,
select: function (event, ui) {
//If you want to do something on the select event, you may do it here
//$("#tags").html(ui.item.label);
}
});
})
Make sure you have an action method called SearchCategories in your HomeController which returns the data you want.
public ActionResult SearchCategories(string term)
{
var db= new MyDbContext();
var results = db.Categories.Where(s => s.Name.StartsWith(term))
.Select(x=>new { id =x.Id,
label =x.Name }).ToList();
return Json(results,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
This should enable the autocomplete on an input with id tags,assuming you have jQuery ui library(and it's dependencies) loaded properly in your page and you do not have any other script errors in your page. I have used Url.Action helper method to generate the correct relative url to the action method. It will work fine if your js code is inside a razor view. But if your code is inside an external js file, you should follow the approach described in this post.

Zend Framework 2 - jquery modal popup issue

I have a view showform.phtml that is loaded into a div via jquery dialog. In the view I am loading a javascript with a $(form).submit() listener. The problem is, the javascript is never loaded. I have tried a couple of different methods, including $this->headScript()->appendScript(script), $this->headScript()->appendScript(file). I even tried just including the script in the layout and index view so that it was sure to be available... but the popup never fires it.
I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I am using setTerminal(true) on the form view... but I don't know what the alternative is.
Anyone have any advice on troubleshooting? Or any experience with this issue?
thanks
EDIT :
This is sample javasctipt that loads in the index.phtml view
$(function()
{
$("form#News").submit(function()
{
$.ajax(
{
type: 'POST',
url: '/main/manage/validateajax',
data: $('form#News').serialize(),
success: 'success'
});
return false;
});
});
The body of the view is a div that showform.phtml loads into
showform creates a form called #News.
When I insert the js code into the body of showform, it works. When I append this to the headScript, it does not work.
Maybe it's a solution for you.
Requirement: scripts of your modal view have to be already loaded (for example inside the application.js)
$("#loadModalBtn").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr("href");
$("#modalContainer").load(url, function(){ // that's the point
var urlForm = $("form#News").attr("action");
$("form#News").submit(function(){
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: urlForm,
data: $('form#News').serialize(),
success: 'success'
});
return false;
});
}).dialog({
height: 140,
modal: true
});
});

My asp.net MVC partial view is unresponsive after initial ajax call?

I am working on an asp.net mvc 4 application and I am using a PartialView for a table in the Index view. After I make the initial ajax call the request is successful and the UI is updated accordingly. But when I try to update again, the JavaScript is unresponsive for the click event.
Is this typical?
AJAX call:
$("#button").click(function(){
$.ajax({
url: 'url',
type: "POST",
data: $("#form0").serialize()
}).done(function (allData) {
$("#mypartialId").html(allData);
ResizeContent();
}).fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus) {
alert("Request failed: " + textStatus);
});
});
Something like this is in my controller Index action:
if(Request.IsAjaxRequest())
{
return PartialView("_PartialView", model);
}
return View(model);
Razor Ajax.BeginForm, has id of form0 by default:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Index", "MyController",
new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "POST",
UpdateTargetId = "mypartialId"
}))
My partial rendering in Index:
<div id="mypartialId">
#{Html.RenderPartial("_PartialView", Model);}
</div>
This works once but when I click the button switch is in the partialView the JavaScript becomes unresponsive. I am guess its something with the Index view not reloading with the partialView...would there be any way around that?
I used .on() function instead of just the .click() as #Sergey Akopov suggested. After that I had another problem after that because the data coming back was a table, so IE9 was giving me UI problems.
The fix was to remove the white space from the table tags like so, before injecting it into the DOM
var expr = new RegExp('>[ \t\r\n\v\f]*<', 'g');
table = table.replace(expr, '><');
$("#mypartialId").html(table);
Here is a link to the 'td' issue displaying weird in IE9.
