I can't believe nobody asked this. This is driving me insane. Im using FullCalendar to let the user drop external events to the calendar. I´m folliwing the well known approach:
$('#external-events div.external-event').each(function () {
var eventObject = {
type: 2,
id: $(this).attr("data-id"),
title: $(this).attr("data-name"),
duration: $(this).attr("data-duration"),
guid: $(this).attr("data-guid"),
color: $(this).attr("data-color")
};
// store the Event Object in the DOM element so we can get to it later
$(this).data('eventObject', eventObject);
// make the event draggable using jQuery UI
$(this).draggable({ zIndex: 999, revert: true, revertDuration: 0 });
});
My calendar is configured like this (drop event):
drop: function(date) {
// retrieve the dropped element's stored Event Object
var originalEventObject = $(this).data('eventObject');
// we need to copy it, so that multiple events don't have a reference to the same object
var copiedEventObject = $.extend({}, originalEventObject);
// assign it the date that was reported
copiedEventObject.start = date.format();
// render the event on the calendar
//$('#calendar').fullCalendar('renderEvent', copiedEventObject, true);
$.ajax({
async: false,
url: '@Url.Action("AddWorkoutToPlan", "Planning")',
data: { 'planId': planId, 'workoutId': copiedEventObject.id, 'date': date.format() },
success: function(data) {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchEvents');
}
});
},
As you can see, I don't render the event, I just make an ajax call and on success I refetch the events so I can get the DB id, in case the user wants to remove it.
This is how I get my events:
events: {
url: '@Url.Action("GetPlannedActivities", "Planning")',
data: function() { return { planId: '@Model.Id' } },
beforeSend: function(xhr, opts) {
if (!$("#selectedPlan").val()) {
xhr.abort();
unblockContainer($("#calendar"));
}
},
success: function(data) {}
},
This is working nice, but if the user moves from the current month, then the external events wont drag nor the drop callback is triggered... I don't know what is going wrong...
Any ideas?
