Kendo Grid Separate Popup Window Title & Buttons for Create & Edit

I want to change the title of the editable popup window based on whether it is being used to create or edit a grid item (I want the fields to be the same for both of them, though).
I have set the popup window's title in editable
editable: {
mode: "popup",
template: kendo.template($("#popupTemplate").html()),
window: {
title: "Add"
}
}
But I'm not sure how to differentiate between Edit and Add. The Edit button is in the columns:
command: [
{
name: "edit",
text: {
edit: "Edit",
update: "Save",
cancel: "Cancel"
}
}
]
and the Add button in the toolbar:
toolbar: [{name: 'create'}]
Notably, I've tried this to no avail:
toolbar: [
{
name: 'create',
click: function(){
alert("test");
}
},
]
I've also seen e.model.isNew() used under edit, but according to my compiler, this is not a function.
I've looked all over the internet and Telerik and found nothing. Am I missing something?
EDIT: Someone asked for the entirety of my grid code:
var grid = $('#grid').kendoGrid({
//dataSource: this.source,
dataSource: this.testData,
height: 550,
filterable: true,
sortable: true,
pageable: {
pageSize: 30,
buttonCount: 1
},
//toolbar: ["create", "destroy", "search"],
toolbar: [
{name: 'create'},
{name: 'destroy'},
{name: 'search'},
{template: "<input id='category' type='search' style='width: 250px; float: right;'/>"}
],
resizeable: true,
columns: [
{
field: 'Name',
title: 'Name',
filterable: true,
},
{
field: 'MCN',
title: 'P/N',
filterable: false,
},
{
field: 'ID',
title: 'ID',
filterable: true,
},
{
field: 'Type',
title: 'Type',
filterable: true,
},
{
field: 'Subtype',
title: 'Subtype',
filterable: true,
},
{
field: 'Value',
title: 'Value',
filterable: false,
},
{
field: 'Tolerance',
title: 'Tolerance',
filterable: true, //Number/letter combination causes problem?
},
{
command: [
{
name: "edit",
text: {
edit: "Edit",
update: "Save",
cancel: "Cancel"
}
},
{
name: "copy",
text: "Copy",
//click: function
}
],
title: " ", width: "250px"
},
],
editable: {
mode: "popup",
template: kendo.template($("#popupTemplate").html()),
// window: {
// title: "Add"
// }
},
selectable: "multiple, row", // Select multiples by drag or Shift-Click
edit: function(e){
var container = e.container;
var model = e.model;
//console.log(model.get("ID"));
// Changing the size of the container
$(e.container).parent().css({
//width: "1000px",
//height: "500px"
});
//May be able to simplify this with a for loop
// Changing Type input to a dropdown
var input = $('#dropType');
input.kendoDropDownList({
dataTextField: "Type",
dataValueField: "dropType",
dataSource: [{Type: 'One'}, {Type: 'Two'}, {Type: 'Three'}],
}).appendTo(container);
// Changing Subtype input into a dropdown
var input = $('#dropSubtype');
input.kendoDropDownList({
dataTextField: "Subtype",
dataValueField: "dropSubtype",
dataSource: [{Subtype: 'One'}, {Subtype: 'Two'}, {Subtype: 'Three'}],
}).appendTo(container);
}
});

To change the title you should use edit function of the grid like this:
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {...},
height: 550,
toolbar: ["create"],
columns: [
{
field: "",
title: '',
attributes: { style: "text-align:center;" },
headerAttributes: { style: "text-align: center;" }
},
{
command: [
{ name: "edit", text: 'Edit' },
],
title: 'tools',
width: "200px",
attributes: { style: "text-align:center;" },
headerAttributes: { style: "text-align: center;" }
}
],
editable: {
mode: "popup",
template: $("#template").html(),
},
edit: function(e) {
if (e.model.isNew()) {
e.container.kendoWindow("title", "Createee");
} else {
e.container.kendoWindow("title", "Updateee");
}
}
});
And for using the template, see this answer : Kendo UI Grid popup
Edit:
According to kendo : Kendo Forum , isNew
The isNew method returns true or false depending on the id value of that model.
If the id is still set to the default value then it will assume it is a New Model.
So I think your problem is because of your dataSource, and you should fill id before the fields property. like this :
dataSource: {
transport: {
read: {
url: ...
type: "POST", // The request type.
dataType: "json", // The data type of the returned result.
},
create: {...},
update: {...},
destroy: {...}
},
schema: {
model: {
id: "Id",
fields: {
Id: { editable: false },
BankName: { type: "string", validation: { required: true } },
....
}
}
},
pageSize: 20
},
And here are two Samples: ( Sample 1 , Sample 2 )

Kendo grid pagination into custom wrapper

It is my kendo grid and i need to wrap pagination buttons into my custom wrapper, named
var grid = $("#taskTableKendo").kendoGrid({
dataSource: tasksData,
sortable: true,
scrollable: false,
autoBind: false,
pageable: {
refresh: true,
pageSizes: [20, 50, 100]
},
dataBound: tasksDataBound,
columns: [
{ field: "Responsibility_Code", title: " ", width: 30, encoded: false, template: '<span class="responsibility type#=Responsibility_Code#" title="#=Responsibility_Description#"></span>' },
{ field: "TaskRef", title: "Task Ref", encoded: false },
{ field: "Owner_FullName", title: "Owner", width: 80, template: "<span class='usercell'>#=Owner_FullName#</span>" },
{ field: "Property_PropertyRef", title: "Property Ref" },
{ field: "Property_Name", title: "Property Name" },
{ field: "Property_City", title: "City" },
{ field: "Property_Country_Name", title: "Country" },
{ field: "JobType_Name", title: "Job Type",width:700 },
{ field: "TaskStatus", title: "Status" },
{ field: "DueDate", title: "Due" },
{ field: "DateLogged", title: "DateLogged", hidden: true },
{ field: "Comments", hidden: true },
{ field: "Documents", hidden: true },
{
command: [{ text: "Click here to add a comment to this task", className: "addComment", click: addCommentCommand, template: '<div class="dropdown pull-right"><button class="btn btn-link dropdown-toggle text-green-lime" type="button" id="linkDropdown" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="true"> Actions <span class="caret"></span></button> <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="linkDropdown"><li> <span class="CommentsNumbers"></span></li>' },
{ text: "Click here to add a document to this task", className: "addFile", click: documentCommand, template: '<li><span class="DocumentsNumbers"></span> </li>' },
{ text: "Click here to reallocate this task to a different person", className: "reallocate", data: { field: "Id" }, click: reallocateCommand },
{ text: "Click here to close this task", className: "closeTask", click: completeTaskCommand },
{ text: "Click here to view and edit this task", className: "viewTask", click: editTaskCommand, template: ' </ul> </div>'}
],
title: " ",
width: 185
}
]
});
I just need to change, kendo's go to previous page, go to next page buttons to custom ones created by me in html.

I've found solution, just for changing prev/next buttons you can use
pageable: {
previousNext: true,
messages: {
display: "{0}-{1} of {2} total tasks",
select: "test",
empty: "No tasks to display",
first: "«",
last: "»",
next: "›",
previous: "‹"
},
I've searched all stack overflow, but haven't found correct answer for this.

It is possible to modify the HTML rendering of the Grid pager inside a setTimeout block (no timeout value is required) in the Grid's dataBound event.

KendoUI Grid row filter with dropdown for boolean

The Filter basically works fine but,
The select does not seem to fire the first selection
this happens every time the filter is reset as well.
I meddled with it for two days now...
here is the Fiddle
<script src="../content/shared/js/products.js"></script>
<div id="grid"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
data: products,
schema: {
model: {
fields: {
ProductName: { type: "string" },
Discontinued: { type: "boolean" }
}
}
},
pageSize: 20
},
height: 550,
scrollable: true,
sortable: true,
filterable: {
mode: "row"
},
pageable: {
input: true,
numeric: false
},
columns: [
{
field: "ProductName",
title: "Product Name",
filterable: {
cell: {
operator: "contains",
showOperators: false
}
}
}, {
field: "Discontinued", title: "Discontinued",
filterable: {
mode: "row",
cell: {
showOperators: false,
template: function (args) {
args.element.kendoDropDownList({
autoBind:false,
dataTextField: "text",
dataValueField: "value",
dataSource: new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: [{ text: "Yes", value: "true" },
{ text: "No", value: "false" }]
}),
index: 0,
optionLabel: {
text: "Filter",
value: ""
},
valuePrimitive: true
})
}
}
}
}
]
});
});
</script>

Kendo UI 2015 Q1 has a lot of bug on it, especially on dropdown family widget like autocomplete, multiselect, dropdown, etc..
Change your kendo library to 2014 or previous version will make it works fine,

How do I add qtip to kendo grid for ellipsed words?

Below is how I structured my kendo grid:
CreateListGrid: function () {
$("#PlanListGrid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
transport: {
read:{
url: BrowserSide.Url.getFullUrl("PlanningList/ReadPlans"),
type: "POST",
data: {
searchVal: $('#category').val(),
status: $('#ListFilterType').val(),
},
},
dataType: "json",
},
pageSize: 10,
schema: {
data: "Data",
total: "Total",
model: {
fields: {
FirstName: { editable: false, nullable: true },
LastName: { editable: false, nullable: true },
Title: { editable: false },
Id: { editable: false }
}
},
errors: "Errors"
},
},
toolbar: kendo.template($("#template").html()),
selectable: "row",
//groupable: true,
sortable: true,
//scrollable:true,
pageable: true,
columns: [{
field: "FirstName",
title: "First Name",
width: 160,
template: "#= SearchItems_Highlight(FirstName)#"
}, {
field: "LastName",
title: "Last Name",
width: 160,
template: "#= SearchItems_Highlight(LastName)#"
},
{
field: "Title",
title: "Plan Title",
width: 180,
template: "#= SearchItems_Highlight(Title)#"
},
{
field: "Id",
title: "Id",
width: 0
},
]
});
var grid = $("#PlanListGrid").data("kendoGrid");
grid.hideColumn("Id");
$("#PlanListGrid > .k-grid-header").css({ "padding-right": "0px;" });
}
I have the text fields in my kendo grid ellipsed if they are too long for the column width. Now I am having trouble adding a qtip to the ellipsed words in my kendo grid.
EDIT:
Because I'm lazy, I found a similar example online using kendo grid. I added the style for .k-grid td which is similar to what I have now that ellipses the text if it's too long. My question now is how do I add a jquery qtip to the ellipsed text? Rather where in the code should I add the qtip?
Here's the fiddle

You can apply qtip after grid creation.
function applyTooltip() {
$(".k-grid-content tbody td").each(function (index, element) {
var td = $(element);
td.qtip({
content: td.text(),
//hide: { when: 'unfocus', delay: 100 },
style: {
border: {
width: 1,
radius: 10
},
padding: 2,
textAlign: 'center',
tip: true,
name: 'cream'
},
position: {
adjust: {
screen: true
}
}
});
});
}
updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Sbb5Z/1610/
You can restrict qTip to columns who have data exceed a certain number of characters (ellipsis)

Is it possible to have full CRUD functions in kendo grid with local data

I'm currently implementing a kendo grid and i'm populating it with local data.
That is; I have generated a JSON string from my action and supplying that string on the view page.
In the end i would like to know if it is possible to implement full CRUD functions with local data?
here's a sample of the code written so far;
<div id="example" class="k-content">
<div id="grid"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var myData = ${coursemodules},
dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: myData,
batch: true,
pageSize: 30,
schema: {
model: {
id: "id",
fields: {
id: { editable: false, nullable: true},
name: { type: "string", validation: { required: true }},
qualificationLevel: { type: "string", validation: { required: true }},
description: { type: "string", validation: { required: true }},
published: { type: "boolean" },
gateApprove: { type: "boolean" },
duration: { type: "number", validation: { min: 1, required: true } },
academicBody: { type: "string" }
}
}
}
});
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: dataSource,
height: 350,
scrollable: true,
sortable: true,
pageable: true,
toolbar: ["create", "save", "cancel"],
columns: [
{
field: "id",
title: "ID",
width: '3%'
},
{
field: "name",
title: "Course Title",
width: '20%'
},
{
field: "description",
title:"Description",
width: '35%'
},
{
field: "published",
title: "Published",
width: '7%'
},
{
field: "gateApprove",
title: "Gate Approve",
width: '7%'
},
{
field: "duration",
title: "Duration",
width: '5%'
},
{
field: "academicBody.shortName",
title: "Academic Body",
width: '10%'
}
],
editable: true
});
});
</script>
</div>
I have realise that for the datasource, you have to declare transport to implement the CRUD. However, I need to declare "data". I tried declaring both transport and data. That doesn't seem to work.

Yes you can Here is JSFiddle Hope this will help you.
// this should be updated when new entries are added, updated or deleted
var data =
[{
"ID": 3,
"TopMenuId": 2,
"Title": "Cashier",
"Link": "www.fake123.com"},
{
"ID": 4,
"TopMenuId": 2,
"Title": "Deposit",
"Link": "www.fake123.com"}
];
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
transport: {
read: function(options) {
options.success(data);
},
create: function(options) {
alert(data.length);
},
update: function(options) {
alert("Update");
},
destroy: function(options) {
alert("Destroy");
alert(data.length);
}
},
batch: true,
pageSize: 4,
schema: {
model: {
id: "ID",
fields: {
ID: {
editable: false,
nullable: true
},
TopMenuId: {
editable: false,
nullable: true
},
Title: {
editable: true,
validation: {
required: true
}
},
Link: {
editable: true
}
}
},
data: "",
total: function(result) {
result = result.data || result;
return result.length || 0;
}
}
},
editable: true,
toolbar: ["create", "save", "cancel"],
height: 250,
scrollable: true,
sortable: true,
filterable: false,
pageable: true,
columns: [
{
field: "TopMenuId",
title: "Menu Id"},
{
field: "Title",
title: "Title"},
{
field: "Link",
title: "Link"},
{
command: "destroy"}
]
});

When binding local data, the Grid widget utilizes an abstraction that represents a local transport. Therefore, it does not require a custom transport; modifications made in the grid are reflected to the bound data source. This includes rollbacks through a cancellation.

There is fully functional example of this in telerik documentation
What you need is define transport block in dataSource object with custom CRUD funtions which update local source.
transport: {
create: function(options){
var localData = JSON.parse(localStorage["grid_data"]);
options.data.ID = localData[localData.length-1].ID + 1;
localData.push(options.data);
localStorage["grid_data"] = JSON.stringify(localData);
options.success(options.data);
},
read: function(options){
var localData = JSON.parse(localStorage["grid_data"]);
options.success(localData);
},
update: function(options){
var localData = JSON.parse(localStorage["grid_data"]);
for(var i=0; i<localData.length; i++){
if(localData[i].ID == options.data.ID){
localData[i].Value = options.data.Value;
}
}
localStorage["grid_data"] = JSON.stringify(localData);
options.success(options.data);
},
destroy: function(options){
var localData = JSON.parse(localStorage["grid_data"]);
for(var i=0; i<localData.length; i++){
if(localData[i].ID === options.data.ID){
localData.splice(i,1);
break;
}
}
localStorage["grid_data"] = JSON.stringify(localData);
options.success(localData);
},
}
