FullCalendar colour JSON events - fullcalendar

we have a form which inserts event data into mysql table, this then feeds fullcalendar via JSON. Is it possible to set category colors, for example 'Holiday', 'Illness', 'Meeting'?
Our current json is like this, not sure how I would assign a colour to an event?
$jsonArray = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$id = $row['HolidayType'];
$title = $row['name'];
$start = $row['start'];
$end = $row['end'];
// Stores each database record to an array
$buildjson = array('title' => "$title", 'start' => "$start", 'end' => "$end", 'allDay' => false);
// Adds each array into the container array
array_push($jsonArray, $buildjson);
}
// Output the json formatted data so that the jQuery call can read it
echo json_encode($jsonArray);
Kind regards

From the docs
color
Sets an event's background and border color just like the calendar-wide eventColor option.
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
events: [
{
title : 'event1',
start : '2010-01-01',
color: 'red'
}
]
});

The way I have done this in my implementation is to have two or more eventSources see http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/event_data/Event_Source_Object/. Each eventSource has its own json feed which returns for example just meetings, the next just holidays etc... Each eventSource has it's own colour scheme using color and textColor or backgroundColor, borderColor and textColor. HTH.
Another way that was used on earlier versions of FullCalendar but can still be used is to have an extra param sent back with your json feed which contains a css class that would be used to 'color' the event. So any holidays could have a 'holiday' class, meetings a 'meeting' class etc.

Adding color variable to json array will change color for all events. For instance, if you have switch/case or nested ifelse to assign different colors to different events, it will not happen because the 'color' variable in fullcalendar will take the last color value and assign it to all events.

Comma separated list in a datalayer variable

I have a datalayer variable for a category on a page. I've got this firing correctly however the values within this variable can be multiple categories and therefore presented as a comma separated list:
dataLayer = [{
'storeCategory': 'major store', 'food', 'childrenswear', 'health & beauty'
}];
What I would like to do is fire a GA event for each and every catgeory in the list:
Event catgeory: "Store"
Event action: "ViewCategory"
Event label: {storeCategory value}
I have a feeling I need to use a custom JavaScript variable to parse the list but not sure how this links in with triggers or tags.
Your dataLayer is incorrect, the 'storeCategory' variable should be an array, I think you're just missing the brackets.
I'm not sure how much help you need, but essentially you need to:
Create a datalayer variable to capture the storeCategory array.
Create a custom html tag that fires on "all pages" to loop through the storeCategory array, like so:
.
<script>
var cats = {{store category}};
var catLen = cats.length;
for (var i = 0; i < catLen; i++){
dataLayer.push({
'event': 'category-view',
'category':cats[i]
});
}
</script>
Create another datalayer variable to capture the "category" variable from step 2.
Create a custom event trigger to trigger on "category-view" or whatever you name it.
Create a GA event tag and capture the "category" variable in the "label", make sure you set it to non-interaction.

change the event color of two different events of fullcalendar?

i am working with full calendar and i want to apply a condition in which the appointment accepted events looking in green color and pending request appointments look in red color.
How can i apply different colors to different-2 events?
I'm using the callback eventRender, checking the properties for a specific string and changing the color through jQuery:
eventAfterRender: function ( event, element ) {
console.log( event ); // Debug
if( event.title.indexOf("Pending") > -1 ) { // if title contains "Pending"
element.css( {'background-color': '#14B9E2', 'border': '1px solid #14B9E2'} );
}
}

Adding filtering to jquery-isotope within Wordpress theme

I'm using the Vitrux theme in Wordpress that uses Isotope jQuery plugin to display a work porfolio. Isotope allows categories to be used to sort the items, but within the theme it's only possible to sort by one category at a time (e.g. 'Year' or 'Type', not 'Year' and 'Type'.
You can see a mock-up here: http://snaprockandpop.samcampsall.co.uk/shoots/
The jQuery attached to each category item, that sorts the posts, is as follows:
function (){
var selector = $(this).attr('data-filter');
$container_isotope.isotope({ filter: selector });
var $parent = $(this).parents(".filter_list");
$parent.find(".active").removeClass('active');
$(".filter_list").not($parent).find("li").removeClass('active').first().addClass("active");
$(this).parent().addClass("active");
return false;
}
I can see from the Isotope site that it's possible to use multiple filters, and I've found the authors notes on this here: http://jsfiddle.net/desandro/pJ6W8/31/
EDIT:
Editing the theme files has allowed me to assign appropriate classes and properties to the filter lists (you can see these in the page source) and I'm targeting them through an edited version of the jsfiddle to reflect the classes and id's in the theme styling:
$( function() {
var $container = $('#portfolio_container');
$container.isotope({
animationOptions: { duration: 300, easing: 'linear', queue: false },
getSortData : {
year : function ( $elem ) { return parseFloat( $elem.find('._year').text() ); },
live-shows : function ( $elem ) { return parseFloat( $elem.find('._live-shows').text() ); }
}
});
var filters = {};
$('.ql_filter a').click(function(){
var $this = $(this);
if ( $this.hasClass('selected') ) {
return;
}
var $optionSet = $this.parents('.filter_list');
$optionSet.find('.active').removeClass('active');
$this.addClass('active');
var group = $optionSet.attr('data-filter-group');
filters[ group ] = $this.attr('data-filter');
var isoFilters = [];
for ( var prop in filters ) {
isoFilters.push( filters[ prop ] )
}
var selector = isoFilters.join('');
$container.isotope({ filter: selector });
return false;
});
});
Two (fairly major) things:
1) I'm not 100% that I've edited this correctly. Despite Rich's excellent comments I'm still out of my depth. I'm particularly not clear on how to set-up the 'getSortData' section - I think it's right but any input would be great.
2) I'm not sure that this JavaScript is being initiated. At the moment I've placed it immediately before the closing head tag but a check on the page suggests that the original script outlined above is the one running on the filter items.
Any pointers at this stage would be fantastic!
I see what you mean. You are looking for the intersection of both filters and not the mutually exclusive filter values.
Short answer: Contact the theme vendor and see if they can make the intersection filters for you.
Longer assistance (not an answer):
Your ultimate goal is to get the Vitrux theme working the way you want.
Your first goal is to understand what the jsfiddle code is doing.
I can handle your first goal by explicating the code.
// hook into the JQuery Document Load event and run an anonymous function
$( function() {
// Create a variable called container
// make container refer to the element with ID Container
var $container = $('#container');
// initialize isotope
// Call the isotope method on the container element
$container.isotope({
// options...
//distracting options
animationOptions: { duration: 300, easing: 'linear', queue: false },
getSortData : {
price : function ( $elem ) { return parseFloat( $elem.find('.price').text() ); },
size : function ( $elem ) { return parseFloat( $elem.find('.size').text() ); }
}
});
// sorting button
//for the anchor tag that has a class of 'pricelow', wire up an anonymous function to the click event
$('a.pricelow').click(function(){
//Rerun the isotope method when it is clicked, pass an array of options as a parameter
$('#container').isotope({ sortBy : 'price',sortAscending : true });
//return false for the anonymous function. Not 100% sure why this is necessary but it has bitten me before
return false;
});
//removed the rest of the click methods, because it does the same thing with different params
//Here is what you are interested in understanding
//Create an empty filters object
var filters = {};
// filter buttons
//When an anchor tag with class filters is clicked, run our anonymous function
$('.filters a').click(function(){
//Create a variable that is the action anchor element
var $this = $(this);
// don't proceed if already selected by checking if a class of "selected" has already been applied to the anchor
if ( $this.hasClass('selected') ) {
return;
}
//Create an optionSet Variable, point it to the anchor's parent's class of "option-set"
var $optionSet = $this.parents('.option-set');
// change selected class
//Inside the optionSet, find elements that match the "selected" class and then remove the "selected class"
$optionSet.find('.selected').removeClass('selected');
// set this (the anchor element) class to "selected"
$this.addClass('selected');
// store filter value in object
// create a variable called 'group' that points to the optionsSet variable and grab the data-filter-group expando attribute
var group = $optionSet.attr('data-filter-group');
//Append to the filters object at the top of this section and set the data-filter-group value to the anchor tag's data-filter value
filters[ group ] = $this.attr('data-filter');
//create an isoFilters array variable
var isoFilters = [];
//Loop through each one of the items in filters (give the item an alias variable called 'prop'
for ( var prop in filters ) {
//push the prop into the isoFilters array (the opposite is pop)
isoFilters.push( filters[ prop ] )
//keep looping until there are no more items in the object
}
//create a variable called selector and turn the array into a string by joining all of the arrays together
var selector = isoFilters.join('');
//Like always, call the 'isotope' method of the 'container' element and pass our newly concatenated 'selector' string as the 'filter' option.
$container.isotope({ filter: selector });
//return false for some reason (maybe someone can expand on that)
return false;
});
});
Next is your ultimate goal which is modifying the Vitrux theme to handle intersection filters.
This gets a little tricky because
You have automatically generated tags from PHP to create the category links and the Year filter. So, there will be definitely some PHP code changes.
You must convert the jsfiddle code to handle your PHP changes
Try it using jQuery noconflict. In effect, replace any "$" with "jQuery" and see if it works.
Wordpress doesn't play well with the dollar sign.

Make Event Background Color Unique on a Per-event Basis

I am sure there is a simple solution, but after reading existing posts and the documentation, I haven't been able to locate it just yet. This is my first post here, so any help is much appreciated.
I am integrating the FullCalendar with ExpressionEngine and the Calendar module for EE, and I have events rendering in FancyBox.
My only remaining issue is that the background of each event is the same color. What I am wanting to accomplish is on any given day, make multiple events have a different background color to identify the event as unique. In the documentation, it explains how to change the background color, but it's an "all-or-nothing" solution.
I also attempted to tweak the styles, but this made every day cell have the background color, rather than the actual individual events.
The code that builds the calendar and populates events from EE is listed as follows:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next',
center: 'title',
right: ''
},
editable: false,
events: [ {}
{exp:calendar:events event_id="{segment_3}" sort="asc" dynamic="off"}
{occurrences}
,{title: '{event_title}',
url: '{url_title_path="path_to/event/"}',
start: new Date({occurrence_start_date format="%Y,%n-1,%j"}),
end: new Date({occurrence_end_date format="%Y,%n-1,%j"}),
allDay: true,}
{/occurrences}
{/exp:calendar:events}
],
eventClick: function(event) {
if (event.url) {
$("a").fancybox(event.url);
return false;
}
}
}); });
This would be simple to do if the events were manually being populated, but the data is coming from ExpressionEngine, rather than being hard-coded.
Any thoughts on how to make each event on a per-day basis render with a different background color than any of the other events listed for that same day?
Thanks for reading!!!
The current version of fullCalendar has a property on an event object '.backgroundColor' which can be set to change the background colour of that event. Of course you'd have to write some code to set up the background colours to all be unique within a day.
You may consider using the css3 nth child selectors here. This will allow CSS to automagically change the colors for you. See: http://css-tricks.com/how-nth-child-works/
You would of course need to target the appropriate elements, but without seeing the full DOM it will be very difficult for us to help with that here.
You can use eventAfterAllRenderwhich is triggered after all events have finished rendering in the fullCalendar from both source.
eventAfterAllRender: function( view ) {
var allevents = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('clientEvents');
}
Now, with the allevents object, you can do whatever toy wish.
Here is the one I took for me:
eventAfterAllRender: function(view) {
var allevents = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('clientEvents');
var countevents = 0;
if( allevents.length ) {
countevents = countevents + allevents.length;
}
if(!countevents) {
// alert('event count is'+countevents);
console.log('event count is',countevents);
}
}
One of my friend was able to get the id of duplicate events and now I can delete the duplicate event within a loop as:
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('removeEvents', allevents[i].id);
Now it is up to you. Very sorry because I am running a busy schedule nowadays. I'm glad if someone would generate a proper solution for Mr. Lane from this(even by editing this answer).
Thank you.

How to add a row hyperlink for an extJS Grid?

Can someone please throw some light on how to go about rendering an hyperlink in the cells of a particular column in ExtJS?
I have tried binding the column to a render function in my JS, from which I send back the html:
SELECT
However, with this, the problem is that, once I hit the controller through the link, the navigation is successful, but subsequent navigations to the data-grid show up only empty records.
The records get fetched from the DB successfully through the Spring MVC controller, I have checked.
Please note that this happens only once I use the row hyperlink in the extJS grid to navigate away from the grid. If I come to the grid, and navigate elsewhere and again come back to the grid, the data is displayed fine.
The problem only occurs in case of navigating away from the grid, using the hyperlink rendered in one/any of the cells.
Thanks for your help!
This is for ExtJS 4 and 5.
Use a renderer to make the contents look like a link:
renderer: function (value) {
return ''+value+'';
}
Then use the undocumented, dynamically generated View event cellclick to process the click:
viewConfig: {
listeners: {
cellclick: function (view, cell, cellIndex, record, row, rowIndex, e) {
var linkClicked = (e.target.tagName == 'A');
var clickedDataIndex =
view.panel.headerCt.getHeaderAtIndex(cellIndex).dataIndex;
if (linkClicked && clickedDataIndex == '...') {
alert(record.get('id'));
}
}
}
}
Try something like this:
Ext.define('Names', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{ type: 'string', name: 'Id' },
{ type: 'string', name: 'Link' },
{ type: 'string', name: 'Name' }
]
});
var grid = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
store: store,
columns: [
{
text: 'Id',
dataIndex: 'Id'
},
{
text: 'Name',
dataIndex: 'Name',
renderer: function (val, meta, record) {
return '' + val + '';
}
}
...
...
...
However my thanks to - ExtJS Data Grid Column renderer to have multiple values
Instead of using an anchor tag, I would probably use plain cell content styled to look like an anchor (using basic CSS) and handle the cellclick event of the GridPanel to handle the action. This avoids dealing with the anchor's default click behavior reloading the page (which is what I'm assuming is happening).
I created a renderer so it looked like you were clicking on it.
aRenderer: function (val, metaData, record, rowIndex, colIndex, store){
// Using CellClick to invoke
return "<a>View</a>";
},
But I used a cell event to manage the click.
cellclick: {
fn: function (o, idx, column, e) {
if (column == 1) // Doesn't prevent the user from moving the column
{
var store = o.getStore();
var record = store.getAt(idx);
// Do work
}
}
}
For these purposes I use CellActions or RowActions plugin depending on what I actually need and handle cell click through it.
If you want something that looks like an anchor, use <span> instead and do what #bmoeskau suggested.
You can use 'renderer' function to include any HTML you want into cell.
Thanks guys for your response.
AFter debugging the extJS-all.js script, I found the issue to be on the server side.
In my Spring MVC controller, I was setting the model to the session, which in the use-case I mentioned earlier, used to reset the "totalProperty" of Ext.data.XmlStore to 0, and hence subsequent hits to the grid, used to display empty records.
This is because, ext-JS grid, checks the "totalProperty" value, before it even iterates through the records from the dataStore. In my case, the dataStore had data, but the size was reset to null, and hence the issue showed up.
Thanks to all again for your inputs!
