viewRender does not update calendar when eventsource is changed - fullcalendar

Whenever the user selects the calendar I need to go back to the server and refresh the data for the dates they have selected - so on next, prev, etc. buttons. I tested that the event source works if defined on the calendar - but defined this way does not get the events. How do I hook up the views, next, prev buttons with the ajax call?
viewRender: function(view, element) {
var eventSource = {
url: '/JVCalendar/GetJVCalendarEvents',
type: 'POST',
data: {
start: "01/01/2015",
end: "01/31/2015",
calendarId: "1"
},
error: function() {
alert('there was an error while fetching events!');
}
}
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('addEventSource', eventSource);
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchEvents');
}

I'll add this as an answer since it's only mentioned in the comments. Credits go to #smcd. Finally found this after a lot of hassle.
fullCalendar already sends the start and end date by default. When looking in the network logs I can see the parameters being added automatically.
api/v1/schedulings/fullcalendar?start=2016-02-28&end=2016-04-10&_=1458223901062

FullCalendar shows all google calendar events at current time and date

Instead of showing our events, FullCalendar creates elements starting at the current date/time. I've tried this with multiple google calendars (public, custom, etc) and always get the same result.
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
eventSources: [{
url:'https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/jcornelius.com_e9lk2eh1p3tdn3v775l0e0v48g%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic',
dataType : 'jsonp'
}]
});
See this fiddle to reproduce the issue.

Turns out the permissions issue was an error with the Google calendar. I contacted Google support and they reset the permissions. Now with Richard Hermanson's answer above everything works.
Updated your sources and at least the example data works. Yours on the other hand seem to be invalid data or something? I'll try to help if the problem persists.
http://jsfiddle.net/pba56nf1/2/
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
events: 'http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/usa__en%40holiday.calendar.google.com/public/basic',
//events: 'https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/jcornelius.com_e9lk2eh1p3tdn3v775l0e0v48g%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic',
eventClick: function(event) {
// opens events in a popup window
window.open(event.url, 'gcalevent', 'width=700,height=600');
return false;
},
loading: function(bool) {
$('#loading').toggle(bool);
}
});
});

How to change page title dynamicly without refresh site

i wanna have a Faceook-Feature in my website: Everytime a user gets a Private Message, the title should be change in something like "[1 PM] TITLE",
How to do that?
I know its easy to change the page-title, the question is how to run a database query every 10 seconds (or is that to often?) and change the title - Without an user interaction (ajax?)
You can use jquery setInterval to make a AJAX request after a certain interval to get data from the db.
$(function(){
setInterval(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "page.html",
success: {
document.title ='new title';
},
error: function(){
//error occurred
}
});
}, 2000);
});
And on AJAX success you can change the page title.

FullCalendar skips back to current date rather than staying on current month

I have FullCalendar installed and working great, pulling in courses from my database.
You can view different courses based on clicking a button that submits the page again but passes different criteria.
The Issue is that on reloading of the page and the new content it skips back to the current date which is rather annoying when when you are looking at courses 3 months into the future!!
Does anybody know how to make the calendar go back to the page you where on after you have refreshed the page???
I have a feeling it might be something to do with getdate as I got the following code to work but can't seem to pass the result back through the URL and into the calendar setup.
$('#my-button').click(function() {
var d = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('getDate');
alert("The current date of the calendar is " + d);
});
If you use jquery.cookie you can store the currently viewed date in a cookie for the page being viewed and use that value to set the defaultDate when the page reloads. Pass these in as options when you initialise your calendar:
defaultView: Cookies.get('fullCalendarCurrentView') || 'month',
defaultDate: Cookies.get('fullCalendarCurrentDate') || null,
viewRender: function(view) {
Cookies.set('fullCalendarCurrentView', view.name, {path: ''});
Cookies.set('fullCalendarCurrentDate', view.intervalStart.format(), {path: ''});
}
This code also saves the current view (e.g. month, day etc...)
I used a combination of the two above. I set the localStorage value for the start date when creating, moving, or resizing an event as well as viewRender and then assigned that value to the defaultDate.
defaultDate: localStorage.getItem('Default_FullCalendar_Date'),
viewRender: function(view) {
localStorage.setItem('Default_FullCalendar_View', view.name);
...
},
select: function(start, due){
localStorage.setItem('Default_FullCalendar_View', start);
...
},
eventDrop: function(event, delta, revertFunc, jsEvent, ui, view){
localStorage.setItem('Default_FullCalendar_View', event._start._d);
...
},
eventResize: function(event, delta, revertFunc, jsEvent, ui, view){
localStorage.setItem('Default_FullCalendar_View', event._start._d);
...
}
Works like a charm.
You can use gotoDate method:
var d = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('getDate');
$('#calencar').fullCalendar( 'gotoDate', d.getFullYear(), d.getMonth(), d.getDate() )
Here is an updated answer for version 4 and 5 of fullcalendar.
since viewRender is no longer an option in these versions. I came up with a different approach using the loading option.
The loading option will give you a boolean argument stating whether the calendar is done loading or not. Inside that function I check if the calendar is done loading and if so, I set the calendar date to localStorage. Next I created an if else statement before the fullcalendar object to check if the localstorage item exists, and if so I set the defaultDate option in the calendar object to to localStorage date; if not, I just set it to today's date.
Example:
let viewDate;
const savedDate = localStorage.getItem("calDate");
if (savedDate !== null) {
viewDate = new Date(savedDate);
} else {
viewDate = today();
}
const calendarElement = document.getElementById('your_calendar');
const calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarElement, {
defaultDate: viewDate,
loading: function(stillLoading) {
if (stillLoading === false) {
// When Calendar is done loading....
localStorage.setItem("calDate", calendar.getDate());
}
},
});

FullCalendar is inserting duplicate events even when removing all events

FullCalendar is working great apart from 1 issue I'm having.
The monthview div which loads a calendar in monthview mode, seems to show duplicate holidays loaded in. This happens when I add an event, and then call my calendar bind function, which basically runs the code below.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? It looks like 'removeEvents' function is working ok against the data feed which comes from an internal database, but seems to leave the google dates. When the addEventSource is called, it's adding the same events again.
var googleUkHolidaysFeed = {
url: 'http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/uk__en%40holiday.calendar.google.com/public/basic',
cache: true,
color: "green"
};
$.getJSON(url, {}, function (data) {
$('#dayview').fullCalendar('removeEvents');
$('#dayview').fullCalendar('addEventSource', data);
if ($("#monthview")[0]) {
$('#monthview').fullCalendar('removeEvents');
$('#monthview').fullCalendar('addEventSource', data);
$('#monthview').fullCalendar('addEventSource', googleUkHolidaysFeed);
}
});
I resolved this issue myself. The 'removeEvents' has to be called followed by 'removeEventSource' like so:
('data' is json array of events provided by the app, 'googleCalendarUkHolidayFeed' is the url feed from google).
var googleCalendarUkHolidayFeed = {
url: "http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/bla..."
}
$('#dayview').fullCalendar('removeEvents');
$('#dayview').fullCalendar('addEventSource', data);
if ($("#monthview")[0]) {
// remove events and re-add event source to reflect search/non-search
$('#monthview').fullCalendar('removeEvents');
$('#monthview').fullCalendar('removeEventSource', googleCalendarUkHolidayFeed);
$('#monthview').fullCalendar('removeEventSource', data);
$('#monthview').fullCalendar('addEventSource', googleCalendarUkHolidayFeed);
$('#monthview').fullCalendar('addEventSource', data);
}

jQuery load() with callback function wont capture click()

I am having no luck in getting a jqueryui dialog to ajax load a form, which inturn submits via ajax.
Everything works upto the point of catching the form that is being submited and instead sending it through an ajax call. Thus the form action is triggered and the browser redirected. The ajax call is never made.
My code is as follows
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.viewOrder').click(function() {
$('#displayOrder').load(this.href, [], function() {
console.log("landed here");
$('#blah').click(function() {
console.log("submiting the form via ajax");
$.ajax({
url: "/ajax/orderupdate",
type: "GET",
data: data,
cache: false,
//success
success: function (data) {
console.log("worked:");
}
});
return false;
});
});
return false;
});
});
.viewOrder is the a href that is ajax loaded. This works fine.
I have read many similar questions on here and it seems load() does not execute scripts that are embeded in the return html, but my return code is pure html no scripts. Any ideas?
IMHO you should try and capture the submit instead of the click, that way you prevent submits done by keyboard aswell, and it might even fix your problem.
The events are bound on page load. At page load the form you are binding the click event does not exist. I use the livequery plugin but they added Live to jquery 4 which you can also use(i had some issues with IE so i went back to livequery)
So load livequery with your scripts http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/livequery
and change
$('#orderUpdate').submit(function() {
to
$("#orderUpdate").livequery("submit", function() {
