Scheduler PHP Class Overview

The Kendo UI Scheduler for PHP is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI Scheduler widget.

Getting Started

The Basics

There are two ways to bind a Kendo UI Scheduler for PHP:

• [Locally]({% slug localbinding_autocomplete_uiforphp %})—Local binding binds the Scheduler to a PHP array.
• [Remotely]({% slug remotebinding_autocomplete_uiforphp %})—During remote binding the Scheduler makes AJAX requests and is bound to the JSON result.

Configuration

Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI Scheduler for local binding.

Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the [introductory article on Telerik UI for PHP]({% slug overview_uiforphp %})—include the autoloader, JavaScript, and CSS files.

Step 2 Create an array to which the Scheduler will be bound.

    <?php
    $data = array(
         array(
            'id' => 1,
            'title' => 'Bowling tournament',
            'isAllDay' => true,
            'start' => new DateTime('2013/6/13 00:00'),
            'end' => new DateTime('2013/6/13 00:30')
        ),
        array(
            'id' => 2,
            'title' => "Alex's Birthday",
            'start' => new DateTime('2013/6/13 14:00'),
            'end' => new DateTime('2013/6/13 15:30')
        )
    );
    ?>

Step 3 Create a data source and set its data.

    <?php
    $dataSource = new \Kendo\Data\DataSource();
    $dataSource->data($data);
    ?>

Step 4 Create a Scheduler, set the initial selected date and its dataSource.

    <?php
    $scheduler = new \Kendo\UI\Scheduler('scheduler');
    $scheduler->date(new DateTime('2013/6/13'))
         ->dataSource($dataSource);
    ?>

Step 5 Output the Scheduler by echoing the result of the render method.

    <?php
    echo $scheduler->render();
    ?>

Event Handling

You can subscribe to all Scheduler events.

Specify Function Names

The example below demonstrates how to subscribe for events by specifying a JavaScript function name.

    <?php
    $scheduler = new \Kendo\UI\Scheduler('scheduler');

    // The 'scheduler_dataBound' JavaScript function will handle the 'dataBound' event of the scheduler
    $scheduler->dataBound('scheduler_dataBound');

    echo $scheduler->render();
    ?>
    <script>
    function scheduler_dataBound() {
        // Handle the dataBound event
    }
    </script>

Provide Inline Code

The example below demonstrates how to provide inline JavaScript code.

    <?php
    $scheduler = new \Kendo\UI\Scheduler('scheduler');

    // Provide inline JavaScript code that will handle the 'dataBound' event of the scheduler
    $scheduler->dataBound('function() { /* Handle the dataBound event */ }');

    echo $scheduler->render();
    ?>

Reference

Client-Side Instances

You can reference the client-side Kendo UI Scheduler instance via jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, use the Scheduler API to control its behavior.

    <?php
    $scheduler = new \Kendo\UI\Scheduler('eventScheduler');
    echo $scheduler->render();
    ?>
    <script>
    $(function() {
        // The constructor parameter is used as the 'id' HTML attribute of the scheduler
        var scheduler = $("#eventScheduler").data("kendoScheduler")
    });
    </script>
