I am trying to build an “obvious” fonctionnality with the full calendar plugin, that is showing a popup to create an event when clincked on a day/time inside the calendar. The popup should be automatically filled with data such as the date and starting time selected by clicking on the calendar.
I tried using the "When Calendar X’s day is clicked :
Step 1 : Show popup
Step 2 display data in Popup => But here I don’t know how to retrieve and display the date and start time that I clicked.
I searched everywhere how to do this but I could not find the info…
Well, there are a few ways you can do this and they will depend on what you really want. Especially if it is a functionality that will be used in the future to edit the event, for example, where the popup data source will interfere.
# Approach 1
1 - Create a Custom State (date type) on the popup
2 - Use the action “When Calendar day is clicked” to:
2.1 - Show/Animate popup
2.2 - Set the current date clicked as the value to the Custom State (using set state action)
3 - Use some input to get the Custom State value as default input value (the use of input would be to allow the users to change the date if they want)
4 - Create the event using the input value and other info needed
# Approach 2
1 - Set the popup’s type of content as date
2 - Use the action “When Calendar day is clicked” to:
2.1 - Show/Animate popup
2.2 - Set the current date clicked as the data source of the popup (using display data action)
3 - Use some input to get the Parent’s Group date as default input value (using input for the same reason mentioned in the approach 1)
4 - Create the event using the input value and other info needed
