Description

How can I use the event template to render events with a specific background color in the Scheduler?

Solution

  1. Add a CSS class to the wrapper element in the eventTemplate and use it to style the events.

The following example demonstrates how to achieve the desired scenario.

<style>
    .k-scheduler-header-wrap div.k-event,
    .k-scheduler-content div.k-event {
        background-color: red;
    }

    .movie-template
    {
        background-color: yellow;
        height: 100%;
    }

    .movie-template p
    {
        margin: 0;
    }
</style>
<div id="example">
  <div id="scheduler"></div>
</div>

<script id="event-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    <div class="movie-template">
      <p>
          #: kendo.toString(start, "hh:mm") # - #: kendo.toString(end, "hh:mm") #
      </p>
      <h3>#: title #</h3>
      <p>#: description #</p>
      </div>
</script>
<script>
      $(function() {
        $("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
          date: new Date("2022/6/13"),
          startTime: new Date("2022/6/13 07:00 AM"),
          height: 600,
          views: [
            "day",
            { type: "workWeek", selected: true },
            "week",
            "month",
            "agenda"
          ],
          eventTemplate: $("#event-template").html(),
          timezone: "Etc/UTC",
          dataSource: {
            batch: true,
            transport: {
              read: {
                url: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/tasks",

              update: {

              },
              create: {
                url: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/tasks/create",
                dataType: "jsonp"
              },
              destroy: {
                url: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/tasks/destroy",
                dataType: "jsonp"
              },
              parameterMap: function(options, operation) {
                if (operation !== "read" && options.models) {
                  return {models: kendo.stringify(options.models)};
                }
              }
            },
            schema: {
              model: {
                id: "taskId",
                fields: {
                  taskId: { from: "TaskID", type: "number" },
                  title: { from: "Title", defaultValue: "No title", validation: { required: true } },
                  start: { type: "date", from: "Start" },
                  end: { type: "date", from: "End" },
                  startTimezone: { from: "StartTimezone" },
                  endTimezone: { from: "EndTimezone" },

                }
              }
            },
            filter: {
              logic: "or",
              filters: [
                { field: "ownerId", operator: "eq", value: 1 },
                { field: "ownerId", operator: "eq", value: 2 }
              ]
            }
          }
        });
      });
