How can add new field to an event with dhtmlx scheduler?

Question

I want to add new fields or propierties to an calendar event. How can I do it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You need to

• add new section to lightbox form http://docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtmlxscheduler:details_form
• for new section of lightbox, set map_to value as name of new field
• on server side add extra field to the list of fields in render command

Answer 2

This is how you would create a simple href link inside an event:

1) Go to the Event Configuration Console and create a custom field, under the section that says 'CUSTOM FIELD'. Give the field a name. In this example, call it 'url'. Select its type as 'TextArea'.

2) Create another custom field, call it 'link_title'.Also a 'TextArea'. Description is optional.

SAVE

3) Go to the 'Templates' section of the event console. Under the first section (... scheduler.templates.event_text=function(start,end,event){... ) where you can input text, put ->

return "<b> "+event.text+"</b><br><br><a href=\"http://" + event.url + "\">" + event.link_title + "</a>";

SAVE

When you go to create your event from the main calendar, you will see extra fields. Type in them, save your event, and voila. Toot Sweet.

What do you mean by calendar event?

Is it adding a new event?, then it must be done using lightbox(built-in option)

 scheduler.config.lightbox.sections=[
            { name:"description", height:50, map_to:"text", type:"textarea", focus:true },
            { name:"location", height:43, map_to:"event_location", type:"textarea",
                default_value:"Blackheath Avenue London,Greenwich,Greater London SE10 8XJ,UK"},
            {name:"recurring", height:115, type:"recurring", map_to:"rec_type",
                button:"recurring"},
            { name:"time", height:72, type:"time", map_to:"auto"}
        ];

each tag used in here is suppoted by the plugin,,,,in you want to have a seperate customize lightbox go to
