I'm trying to get a KendoUI grid working with server side paging. So far I've managed to get the grid reading data from the remote datasource and correctly sending paging/filtering information to an MVC controller action
This is working fine, however, I don't see the paging controls for the grid at all.
I've tried adding pageable: true to the setup of the grid, and although this does display the pager control, it doesn't show any pages/totals and throws a JS object does not support this property or method when I try and change the page using the next/prev page buttons. The method it's looking for is 'slice' - I'm going to have a look at the non-minified kendo src but in the meantime I thought I'd post here
The action looks like this:
public ActionResult _Index(int? pageSize, int? skip, string filter = "")
{
// Code that gets the data
var data = ... (some Linq->Entities queries)
var total = ... (total count of all the entities)
return Json(new { total, data });
}
I'm correctly returning the total, and I've checked the JSON and it matches what I'm expecting (and what the grid should be expecting)
The grid setup is this:
$(document).ready(function () {
var grid = $("#itemList").kendoGrid({
toolbar: kendo.template($("#template").html()),
columns: ["Manufacturer", "Model", "Price", "Tags"],
dataSource: {
transport: {
read: {
url: "catalogadmin/_index",
dataType: "json",
type: "POST",
data: {
filter: ""
}
},
},
schema: {
data: "data", // records are returned in the "data" field of the response
total: "total" // total number of records is in the "total" field of the response
},
pageSize: 2,
serverPaging: true
},
pageable: true
});
I set the pageSize to 2 to test paging (as I only have 4 items in the DB at the mo)
JSON is:
{"total":4,"data":[{"Id":6,"Manufacturer":"hello","Model":";lmqw;lemwqe","Price":4.00,"ShortDescription":"world","Tags":[],"Used":false}]}
I don't think that's the issue though - it seems like you need to set pageable: true to get paging working - but I don't think the paging even works with client side data, I'm just going to check now
Edit: I've checked and client-side paging doesn't work either. I get an 'Unable to get property toLowerCase of undefined or null reference' when trying to page. The pager looks like the server side page, no data, no page numbers, no totals.
I'm thinking Kendo isn't quite registered right - I've got the very latest version (just downloaded it now) but no cigar...
Sorted - not sure why but when I installed KendoUI using Teleriks 'convert to Kendo UI project' it registered both the kendo.all.min.js file and also the mvc/dataviz ones.
I removed the extra script references and it's all working now!

I am using EXTJS 4.2.1 and my application has a grid including paging, the grouping summary and the summary feature. I want to override the sum of the summary feature, because it should display the grand total sum of the whole data set and not only for the current displayed page.
Is that possible to override the summary feature to do so?
Thanky you very much for every advice in advance. :-)
Use summaryRenderer in column configuration. It is an undocummented feature of ExtJS allowing you to show custom data in your summary row.
You will have to summarize the data server-side and send them to client where you will access it in the summaryRenderer.
Like so:
columns: {
items: [
{
text: "Column A",
dataIndex: "field_A",
summaryRenderer: function( value, summaryData, dataIndex ) {
var grid = this;
// Get the value here and return it
var result = functionToGetValue( grid );
return result;
}
},
// ...
}
]
The functionToGetValue is the place where you pass the summarization value you sent to your client from server.
How you do that depens on your code. You have access to store via grid.getStore().
It is possible to add the summary data to each record and then simply use store.getAt(0).get( 'summaryValue' ), it is kind of wasteful, but it is simple and it works.
I am writing a kendo UI autocomplete widget. The requirement is EACH TIME when I type a letter after "minLength", the dataSource need to be dynamically loaded from dB EVERYTIME. One problem is that, when the dataSource load successfully in the first time, it stops loading data.
The code snippet is:
var data;
function getDataFromDb(){
// some code to grab dummyData from dB ...
return dummyData;
}
$("#someInputText").kendoAutoComplete({
minLength: 2,
dataTextField: "someField",
dataSource: getDataFromDb(),
filter: "startswith"
});
Thanks a lot.
More details on the post. In my situation, I don't use the readOption. The data comes from another ajax call like:
var data [];
//fire this ajax call when input string length comes to 4...
$.ajax({url: "some working url", success: function(result){
var data = result;
startKendoAutoComplete();
}
});
function startKendoAutoComplete(){
if( !$.isEmptyObject(data)) // set a breakPoint, have data
{
$("#inputText").kendoAutoComplete({
minLength: 4,
dataSource : data,
...
});
}
}
Also, the ajax call will be fired when the input string length comes to 4. However, the KendoAutoComplete doesn't start working....
Thanks a lot for your sugesstion.
If you init your dataSource with an array of object, your widget will work with this array only.
The first thing you'll have to create an dataSource object and set the serverFiltering property to true. Then, if you don't specify an url where the data will be fetched, you set you own transport.read function and from there you'll be able to implement your own logic. The read function will receive the readOption which will include all the relevant information to query tour data (top / skip / filter / sort ...). The readOptions will also provide a success function that should be used to return the value:
dataSource: {
serverFiltering: true,
transport: {
read: function (readOptions) {
readOptions.success(getDataFromDb(readOptions));
}
}
},
I am using jQrid version 3.8.1 with inline editing and each row in the grid has several dropdown lists to populate. When the user edits the row, I need to do an AJAX query to get the values for each of these lists. I've seen this post regarding how to do that. It appears that the dataUrl and buildSelect features are the standard answer here. There are a few issues I can't figure out though:
The row the user is editing has a value that must be passed into the dataUrl value. For example, say each row contains a field called "SpecialValue" and that for row 1, SpecialValue = 100. The dataUrl field for row 1 would be "http://my.services.com?SpecialValue=100". How do I do that?
Each row in the grid has about 10 select boxes that need to be populated. For efficiency reasons, I don't want to make 10 separate AJAX calls. It would be much better to make one call to get all the data, split it up, and fill each select box accordingly. Is that possible? I tried doing this inside onSelectRow but the grid ended up ignoring the values I put in there (I'm guessing do the ordering of the events that fire when you edit a row).
Edit:
After reading Oleg's answers and working on it more, it's clear to me that using dataUrl and buildSelect are not going to work well for me. The version of jqGrid I'm using doesn't support using dataUrl the way I would need. And even if it did I don't want to send multiple separate requests for each dropdown list.
I've decided to do one request when gridComplete fires to pull all the data needed for all dropdown lists into a single JSON structure. Then when the user selects a row to do inline editing, I will populate each list in the row from that JSON structure (the code below uses the getSelectValuesFromJSON() function for that--I don't give its definition but you can imaging it looks through the structure and gets an appropriate list of values to but in the list box).
I have a few candidate solutions but I'm not 100% happy with either one.
Solution 1:
Inside onSelectRow, I call editRow overriding the on oneditfunc to get the data out of the grid that I need. Assume that the value in Field1 is required to get the values to be put into the list in Field2.
onSelectRow: function (index, status, e) {
jQuery('#my_grid').jqGrid('editRow', index, true, function(rowId) {
var f1Val = $('#my_grid').jqGrid('getCell', index, 'Field1');
var selectVals = getSelectValuesFromJSON(f1Val); //gets data out of previously loaded JSON structure
var select = $('#my_grid').find('tr[id="' + index + '"] td[aria-describedby="my_grid_Field2"] select');
_.each(selectVals, function(selectVal) {
$(select).append($("<option></option>").attr("value", selectVal).text(selectVal));
});
});
}
This works but I'm hesitant about the line
var select = $('#my_grid').find('tr[id="' + index + '"] td[aria-describedby="my_grid_Field2"] select');
which relies on this aria-describedby attribute that I don't know much about. Seems hacky and brittle.
Solution 2:
Make use of beforeSelectRow to dynamically change the model of the Field2 column when the user selects a row.
beforeSelectRow: function(index, e) {
var f1Val = getGridCellValue('#my_grid', index, 'Field1');
var values = getSelectValuesFromJSON(f1Val); //gets data out of previously loaded JSON structure
var valStr = "";
_.each(values, function(value) {
valStr += value + ":" + value + ";"
});
jQuery('#grid_pipes').setColProp('Field2', { editoptions: { value: valStr } });
return true;
}
This also works but I'm not sure about whether or not this is really a good idea. Is it valid to dynamically change the model of a column like that? What if the user has several rows selected at the same time? Isn't there only one model for a column? What would that mean?
To answer some of Oleg's questions, the dataType has been set to a function that uses $.ajax to post data to the server. I think I read that's not the recommended approach anymore. I inherited this code so I'm not sure why it was done that way but it probably won't change unless there is a really compelling reason.
The loadonce boolean is not specified so I guess that means it defaults to false.
Here is an abbreviated version of the column model (nothing terribly out of the ordinary):
colModel: [
{ name: 'PK', index: 'PK', hidden: true, editable: true, sortable: true, search: true },
{ name: 'Field1', index: 'Field1', hidden: true, editable: true, sortable: true, search: true },
{ name: 'Field2', index: 'Field2', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false, edittype: "select", editoptions: {} },
{ name: 'Field3', index: 'Field3', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false, edittype: "select", editoptions: {} },
...
]
You don't wrote which version of jqGrid you use currently, but dataUrl can be defined as callback function with (rowid, value, name) parameters, which have to return the URL which you can build dynamically based on the information. The feature exist starting with v4.5.3 (see the line). You can use getCell, getRowData or getLocalRow inside of the callback to get the data from another columns of the row. Thus you can solve your first problem relatively easy.
You second question seems to me absolutely independent from the first one. It's better to separate such questions in different posts to allow the searching engine better to index the information and so to help other people to find it.
There are no simple way how to solve the second problem, but one can sure suggest a solution, but one have to know much more details what you do and how you do. How you start inline editing (do you use inlineNav, formatter: "actions" or you call editRow directly)? Which version of jqGrid (till version 4.7), free jqGrid or Guriddo jqGrid JS you use? How the columns with selects are defined in colModel? Which datatype you use and whether loadonce: true you use? I recommend you to post separate question with the information.
UPDATE: If you have to use old version of jqGrid then you can't generate dataUrl full dynamically, but because you need to add only SpecialValue=100" part to the URL you can follow the trick which I described in many my old answers (the first one was probably here, but the choice on property names which asked the user could be misunderstood). You can use ajaxSelectOptions.data which will define the data parameters of jQuery.ajax request. The problem only that you can define only one ajaxSelectOptions.data property. So you can add the following jqGrid option:
ajaxSelectOptions: {
data: {
SpecialValue: function () {
var rowid = $myGrid.jqGrid("getGridParam", "selrow");
return $myGrid.jqGrid("getCell", rowid, "SpecialValue");
}
}
}
($myGrid is something like $("#grid"))
UPDATED: You used unknown functions getSelectValuesFromJSON, getLookupValuesFromJSON in the updated part of your question. Both of there seems to use synchronous Ajax request which is not good. Moreover you set editoptions.value for only one Field2 instead of setting all selects.
onSelectRow: function (rowid) {
var $myGrid = $(this);
$.ajax({
url: "someUrl",
dataType: "json";
data: {
specialValue: $myGrid.jqGrid("getCell", rowid, "Field1")
},
success: function (data) {
// for example response data have format:
// { "Field2": ["v1", "v2", ...], "Field3": ["v3", "v4", ...] }
var filed, str;
for (filed in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(filed)) {
str = $.map(data[filed], function (item) {
return item + ":" + item
}).join(";");
$myGrid.jqGrid("setColProp", filed, {
editoptions: {
value: str
}
});
}
}
$myGrid.jqGrid("editRow", rowid, true);
}
});
}
Nevertheless the "Solution 2" is more close to what I would recommend you. It's not really important whether to use onSelectRow or beforeSelectRow. You can make asynchronous Ajax request to the server which returns information for all select which you need. After you get the response from the server (inside of success callback) you can set editoptions.value for all selects and only then you can start editRow. In the way you will be sure that editing of the line will use row specific options in all select.
Some additional remarks. I recommend you to verify gridview: true option in the grid. Additionally I suspect that you fill the grid in not full correct way because you have hidden PK column and you use index instead of rowid as the first parameter of beforeSelectRow and onSelectRow. It's very important to understand that the current implementation of jqGrid always assign id attribute on every row (<tr> element) of the grid. So you have to provide id information in every item of input data. If you want to display the id information to the user (and so to have column in colModel with the primary key) then you should just include key: true property in the column definition. For example you can add key: true to the definition of PK column and so you will have rowid (or index in your case) with the same value like PK. It simplify many parts of code. For example jqGrid send id parameter in the editing request to the server. It's practical to have PK in the request. Moreover if you use repeatitems: false format of jsonReader the you can include id: "PK" in the jsonReader instead of having hidden PK column. It informs jqGrid to get rowid from PK. jqGrid will save PK in id attribute of <tr> and you will don't need to have additional <td style="display:none"> with the same information in the grid.
The last remark. I would strictly recommend you to update the retro version jqGrid 3.8.1 to some more recent version, for example to free jqGrid. Even if you would use no features (like Font Awesome for example) you will have performance advantages, and the look of modern web browsers will looks much better. You should understand the jqGrid 3.8.1 was tested with old (and slow jQuery 1.4.2). The version used with Internet Explorer 8 as the latest IE version (IE9 was published later in March 2011) and it's more oriented on IE6/IE7. The look in modern Chrome/Firefox/Safari can be bad. Is it what you want?
I'm trying to work on the "different permissions based on workflow state" issue but I'm struggling with the fact that it seems impossible to get the id of the current object 'at any time' that is necessary in order to get the permission of that object. What I mean is that I manage to get it from the client state following jquery bbq docs like:
$.bbq.getState().id
BUT it looks like this is doable only AFTER a complete page load. I investigated this by placing some alert in the main view events, like:
openerp.web.PageView = openerp.web.PageView.extend({
on_loaded: function(data) {
this._super(data);
alert('page load ' + $.bbq.getState().id);
},
do_show: function() {
this._super();
alert('page show ' + $.bbq.getState().id);
},
reload: function() {
this._super();
alert('page reload ' + $.bbq.getState().id);
},
on_record_loaded: function(record) {
this._super(record);
alert('record loaded ' + $.bbq.getState().id);
}
});
and I found that when you open the page view (by clicking on an item in a search view, for instance) you get always "undefined".
Then, you get it into "reload" and "on_record_loaded" when passing from an object to another using paged navigation. And then, you miss it again when you click on the "edit" button.
In the form view I successfully got it only on the 1st load because it seems that some caching is in-place. So that, if I place a pdb into web client's fields_view_get and I do this into the form "init_view":
var ids = [];
if ($.bbq.getState().id){
ids = [parseInt($.bbq.getState().id)];
}
console.log(ids);
return this.rpc("/web/view/load", {
"model": this.model,
"view_id": this.view_id,
"view_type": "form",
toolbar: this.options.sidebar,
context: context,
ids: ids,
}, this.on_loaded);
I get it only the 1st time that the page gets loaded. The same happen if I take ids from
this.dataset.ids
I looked anywhere at the core web module and I can't find a proper API for this and it looks weird (above all on dataset) that we don't have a proper way for getting/working on the current record/s. Even the context and the session do not have any information about that.
Probably I should store this into the view itself on 1st load...
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
try:
this.view.datarecord.id
OpenERP 7 in form view:
debugged using google chrome
Try the combination of the
this.dataset.ids and this.dataset.index
like
curr_id = this.dataset.ids[this.dataset.index]
this might solve your problem.

It's not clear how the error message you are reporting is linked to any of the code you have revealed so far. So it's difficult to connect the dots here.
However here are a couple of observations:
1. If you need your stores to always load ASAP when your app launches set the autoLoad:true config on those stores. This way you don't have to explicitly load them and they have more time to finish loading before your view is ready to go.
2. If you need to load an instance of your model into the form you can use Model.load method instead of having a store do that for you. You will need to provide API on the model on how to read the records from the server.
3. Model mapping is not necessary if your Model fields match to what the server returns.
If you need further help, please update your question with some more debug info.
