Question

I want to have a feature such that when the user clicks on a Date, the calendar will render the agendaDay view of that Date. I tried as following:

<p:schedule id="timetable" widgetVar="mySchedule" editable="true"
    allDaySlot="false" value="#{cc.attrs.managedBean.eventModel}" 
    dateSelectListener="#{mrBean.onDateSelect}" 
    onDateSelectUpdate="timetable" 
    initialDate="#{mrBean.initialDate}"
    view="#{mrBean.view}">
</p:schedule>

And this is my ManagedBean:

@Named(value = "mrBean")
@RequestScoped
public class MrBean {
    private ScheduleModel eventModel;
    private String        view;
    private Date          initialDate;

    public MrBean() {
        eventModel = new DefaultScheduleModel();
    }

    public void onDateSelect(DateSelectEvent selectEvent) {
        view        = "agendaDay";
        initialDate = selectEvent.getDate();
    } 

    // Getters and Setters 
} 

When I try to click on a Date, the whole calendar disappeared and I saw this string {"events" : []} on the browser.

I’d be very grateful if someone could show me where I have done wrong.

Best regards,

This sums it up nicely. It is used for the initial load, but beyond that it isn’t functional. You can look to 3.0M4 which has a new model (and better model) for the schedule or you can do something sneaky like override the FC Calendar it is built on

via the “widgetVar” attribute so that when you fire a particular click it switches views. To be honest, that’s probably faster as well as it would happen client side and it already has all the data.
