Jquery – while adding events to Fullcalendar by external drag and drop, item doesn’t get id

asp.netfullcalendarjquery

I'm using FullCalendar's external drag and drop, with his code. http://arshaw.com/js/fullcalendar-1.5.2/demos/external-dragging.html

drop: function(date, allDay) { // this function is called when something is dropped

            // retrieve the dropped element's stored Event Object
            var originalEventObject = $(this).data('eventObject');

            // we need to copy it, so that multiple events don't have a reference to the same object
            var copiedEventObject = $.extend({}, originalEventObject);

            // assign it the date that was reported
            copiedEventObject.start = date;
            copiedEventObject.allDay = allDay;

            // render the event on the calendar
            // the last `true` argument determines if the event "sticks" (http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/event_rendering/renderEvent/)
            $('#calendar').fullCalendar('renderEvent', copiedEventObject, true);

            // is the "remove after drop" checkbox checked?
            if ($('#drop-remove').is(':checked')) {
                // if so, remove the element from the "Draggable Events" list
                $(this).remove();
            }

        }

Every thing is okay, but I want to add this dropped event to my database. So I added my add dialog codes here.

var eventToAdd = {
                title: $.trim($(this).text()),
                //title: $(this).attr('id'),
                description: $(this).attr('original-title'),
                start: date.format("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss tt"),
                end: date.format("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss tt")

        };

        if (checkForSpecialChars(eventToAdd.title) || checkForSpecialChars(eventToAdd.description)) {
            alert("please enter characters: A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, spaces");
        }
        else {
            //alert("sending " + eventToAdd.title);

            PageMethods.addEvent(eventToAdd, addSuccess);
        }

So the result is,

drop: function (date, allDay) { // this function is called when something is dropped

                if($(this).attr('id')=='')
                    return;
            // retrieve the dropped element's stored Event Object
            var originalEventObject = $(this).data('eventObject');

            // we need to copy it, so that multiple events don't have a reference to the same object
            var copiedEventObject = $.extend({}, originalEventObject);

            // assign it the date that was reported
            copiedEventObject.start = date;
            copiedEventObject.allDay = allDay;

            $('#calendar').fullCalendar('renderEvent', copiedEventObject, true);

            $(this).remove();


            var eventToAdd = {
                title: $.trim($(this).text()),
                //title: $(this).attr('id'),
                description: $(this).attr('original-title'),
                start: date.format("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss tt"),
                end: date.format("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss tt")

            };

            if (checkForSpecialChars(eventToAdd.title) || checkForSpecialChars(eventToAdd.description)) {
                alert("please enter characters: A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, spaces");
            }
            else {
                //alert("sending " + eventToAdd.title);

                PageMethods.addEvent(eventToAdd, addSuccess);
            }
        }

Event is shown, event is draggable, but it doesn't get the Id. I think the event which rendered at this row isn't related with the event sent to the database:

$('#calendar').fullCalendar('renderEvent', copiedEventObject, true);

Best Answer

FYI you can also set an id for the draggable div in your HTML, then do something like:

copiedEventObject.id = $( this ).attr('id');

inside the "drop:" attribute (right after:

var copiedEventObject = $.extend({}, originalEventObject);

in the "external-dragging.html" example.
