[Seaside] Re: refreshing events on JQFullCalendar

[Paul DeBruicker]

Hi Davide,

I don't know.  It looks like you could instead return a json array of
events and run the renderEvent method on each of them.  See
http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/event_rendering/renderEvent/
I don't know if that means you'll end up with two duplicated events of
different color or not.

Or use #updateEvent:
(http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/event_data/updateEvent/) method
after using some jQuery to find the changed events in the client and set
their new CSS properties.  Have your callback make a Dictionary with the
keys the id of each modified event and the values the revised CSS rules.
 then emit that as json and iterate over it on the client finding the
EventObject and change its CSS.


Seems like there are mechanisms there to only update specific events but
I haven't done it before.


Good luck and sorry I can't be more help


Paul
