Hours and minutes in Calendar

[nhora]

Hello,
when I click on the save button of the EventEditor, I would save on the server the values of the fields startHours, startMinutes, startAMPM, endHours, endMinutes, endAMPM of the EventEditor, but I get only the fields description, name, startDate and endDate.
StartDate and endDate fields have as value only the date without the time.
What I have to do?

See this thread, in particular, this response.

I have tried to override the transformRequest function but this solution doesn't work. This is the code:

@Override
protected Object transformRequest(DSRequest dsr) {

JavaScriptObject data = dsr.getData();
String res="";

Date startDate = dsr.getAttributeAsDate("startDate");
int startHours = startDate.getHours();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "startHours", startHours);
int startMin = startDate.getMinutes();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "startMinutes", startMin);

Date endDate = dsr.getAttributeAsDate("endDate");
int endHours = endDate.getHours();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "endHours", endHours);
int endMin = endDate.getMinutes();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "endMinutes", endMin);


res="_operationType="+dsr.getOperationType()+"&_dataSource="+dsr.getDataSource()+"&name="+dsr.getAttributeAsString("name")+"&description="+dsr.getAttribute("description")+"&startDate="+startDate+"&endDate="+endDate+"&startHours="+startHours+"&startMinutes="+startMin+"&endHours="+endHours+"&endMinutes="+endMin;

return res;
}


The function return a string because I use RestDataSource.
I get this error in the firefox page:

n is null
[Break on this error] function ucf(i){var h,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,c,a,...+uI+n+vI+j+wI+o+xI+p+yI+k+zI+l;return m}


I've tried also to return only the standard field (operationType, dataSource, name, description,startDate, endDate) but on the server side I get only null values.

What's the problem?

Thanks

Take a second look at the post you were referred to. Return value should be a JavaScriptObject containing the properties you want to appear as HTTP parameters.

[nhora]

As written in the post you were referred to:

As mentioned in the docs for transformRequest, you need to return the "data", and not the DSRequest. "data" will be a JavaScriptObject like above in all cases except when using RestDataSource in which case it will be the actual String value of the parameters.

So I've returned a string....

[Isomorphic]

That's unfortunate wording, the reality is, in both cases you return a JavaScriptObject. The RestDataSource expects a string only when using dataProtocol "postMessage", which is not the case here.

This solution doesn't work :-(
I get this error:

i is null
[Break on this error] function ubf(e){var d,f,g,h,i,j,k,c,a,b;...=f.jsdate.getMinutes();d[iI]=h;return d}

and this is the code used:

@Override
protected Object transformRequest(DSRequest dsr) {
JavaScriptObject data = dsr.getData();

Date startDate = dsr.getAttributeAsDate("startDate");
int startHours = startDate.getHours();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "startHours", startHours);
int startMin = startDate.getMinutes();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "startMinutes", startMin);

Date endDate = dsr.getAttributeAsDate("endDate");
int endHours = endDate.getHours();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "endHours", endHours);
int endMin = endDate.getMinutes();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "endMinutes", endMin);

return data;
}

I've tried to return the data without add anything, in this way:

@Override
protected Object transformRequest(DSRequest dsr) {

JavaScriptObject data = dsr.getData();
return data;

}


On the server side I get this response:

startDate=2009-01-05&description=testDescr&name=testName&endDate=2009-01-05


So, I think the problem is that startDate and endDate don't contain the time, thus the function startDate.getHours() and startDate.getMinutes() don't work.

What have I missed? Should I set any other thing?

[Isomorphic]

Another small error in that other post. It should be data.getAttribute(), not dsr.getAttribute().

[nhora]

Neither data.getAttribute() nor data.getAttributeAsDate() exists. Moreover data doesn't contain the time in the startDate and endDate fields.

[Isomorphic]

Looks like there were a number of flaws in that sample code. Use the JSOHelper to get the startDate and endDate from the "data" object.

[nhora]

Also this time I got an error:

m is null
[Break on this error] function ubf(i){var h,j,k,l,m,n,o,g;h=(g...=j.jsdate.getMinutes();h[iI]=l;return h}

The code used is this:

@Override
protected Object transformRequest(DSRequest dsr) {

JavaScriptObject data = dsr.getData();



Date startDate = JSOHelper.getAttributeAsDate(data, "startDate");
int startHours = startDate.getHours();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "startHours", startHours);
int startMin = startDate.getMinutes();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "startMinutes", startMin);


Date endDate = JSOHelper.getAttributeAsDate(data, "endDate");
int endHours = endDate.getHours();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "endHours", endHours);
int endMin = endDate.getMinutes();
JSOHelper.setAttribute(data, "endMinutes", endMin);



return data;
}

transformRequest() is called for or all operationTypes: fetch, add, update, remove. You need to change your code so it executes only for update and add.

[sjivan]

You can check for the operation type via the method DSRequest.getOperationType()
