Actions
The Timeline can render links (<a> tags) for the items from the Actions collection in its data source, so the user can navigate to the specific pages.
The href attribute of an action will be set to the value of the src field of the action literal, and the text will come from the text field.
The example below shows how you can a few actions actions for one event.
@(Html.Kendo().Timeline<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.TimelineEventModel>()
.Name("Timeline")
.DataDateField("EventDate")
.DataDescriptionField("Description")
.DataSubTitleField("Subtitle")
.DataTitleField("Title")
.DataActionsField("Actions")
.Orientation("horizontal")
.DataSource(dt => dt.Read("GetTimelineData", "Timeline"))
)
public partial class Timeline : BaseController
{
public JsonResult GetTimelineData()
{
List<TimelineEventModel> events = new List<TimelineEventModel>();
events.Add(new TimelineEventModel() {
Title = "Summer trip in Europe",
Subtitle = "May 15, 2015",
Description = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet",
EventDate = new System.DateTime(2015, 6, 25),
Actions = new List<TimelineEventActionModel>() {
new TimelineEventActionModel() { text = "More info about Barcelona", url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona" },
new TimelineEventActionModel() { text = "More info about Malta", url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta" }
}
});
events.Add(new TimelineEventModel()
{
Title = "United States East Coast Tour",
Subtitle = "Feb 27, 2018",
Description = "The second event description.",
EventDate = new System.DateTime(2018, 1, 27),
Actions = new List<TimelineEventActionModel>() {
new TimelineEventActionModel() { text = "More info about New York City", url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City" }
}
});
return Json(events, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
