Question

I’m working with php, jquery and fullcalendar ( http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/ )

I’ve setted a function on click event

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
  eventClick: function(event) {
   myFunct(event);
  }
);

Now, when I load this page, I have 2 cases:
– 1) with NULL $_GET[idEvent] and this simply work
– 2) with $_GET[idEvent] In this case, I want that automatically start the callback associated on click event of my fullcalendar

I decided to slightly modify fullcalendar source and add a “id” attr on each rendered event, and then write this code:

if(isset($_GET['id'])){

    $id = $_GET['id'];
    echo '<script type="text/javascript">
            $("#idEvt'.$id.'").click();
          </script>';
} 

I do not think theoretically that the code is wrong..but it not work…probably because the loading of the calendar takes a long time to load and my ** $(“#idEvt’.$id.'”)** is not found.

Can anyone help me or has already used fullcalendar?

EDIT:

Thank you! This is the solution:

I’ve add a jquery function to bring get variables from url

$.extend({
  getUrlVars: function(){
    var vars = [], hash;
    var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
    for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
    {
      hash = hashes[i].split('=');
      vars.push(hash[0]);
      vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
    }
    return vars;
  },
  getUrlVar: function(name){
    return $.getUrlVars()[name];
  }
});

Then in fullcalendar initialization

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
  eventClick: function(event) {
    myFunct(event);
  },
  eventAfterRender: function(event, element, view ) { 
    var idEvt = $.getUrlVar('id');
    if(event.id==idEvt){
        myFunct(event);
    }
}

In this way is not necessary modify fullcalendar source code or use php.
Thank you for suggestion!!!

Answer 1

I think you are looking for eventAfterRender callback. This will be called immediately after event is placed at its final position on the calendar. You can check for certain values and then decide whether or not to call a function. Click Here to see the parameters accepted by this callback.
