Custom URL, Tooltip/Popup event
- Thread starter wezetel
- Start date
It's similar to a custom edit or view link in list view.
Behaviour in the old FC:
A click on the event will open the "custom URL", which can be any link local or external ( "Show full details" setting doesn't matter).
A big disadvantage:
It's always opening a new tab/window. I assume originally it was thought to link e.g. to an event website or so.
I have somewhere code for adding a target option and also for adding a custom add link
+ a parameter to set the calendar's default_date.
I used it on a reservation site with the calendar in a module position and the form (with a lot of more elements than needed for the calendar) opening in the content area.

Don't know what the creators of fullcallendar intended this funcionality for, but what I would have expected, is the behaviour I described in my first post.
This would be for sure a big disadvantage. The link should be opening in the content area of the same window, except the link would define another target (e.g. blank)
So basically what you are saying is that when clicked we should navigate the window away from the fullcalendar to this configured URL. Is that correct?
Should we append any of the event details to the url? Or use placeholders. If you want anything other than the start/end dates, title, form/list/record IDs, this will mean an ajax call to query the database,

Yes.
It "can use placeholders" (same as for Popup template), so each list element.
Which is both working in the old FC.
It's not working in new FC (Popup template seems to be ignored, too).
But in models/fullcalendar.php it's still doing parseMessageForPlaceHolder for custom link and for popup template.
So the code seems to be there, but not activated.

Ah, yes, sorry, I had "View full details" enabled (with the form just displaying label/start/end
)
So popup template does the placeholders for all list elements in fullcaledar.php (no ajax call necessary) and it should be there already also for the custom link.

do you mean a little popup on mouse hover?

Correct! And as said:

He means he would like the tooltip feature, and also a configuration in Fabrik FC to have options for that feature.
(To be able to customize the tooltip via FC)
I'm not sure.
But I think FC has the possibility to show the "small" infos as tooltip on hover instead of as a popup on click.

Good question.
On mobile devices this would happen:
- Upon tapping, both the tooltip and the current popup would open.
So in the case of smartphones there are two situations:
- have the tooltip popup on touch (I don't think so)
- have the current popup
