Customization
"More Event" Link
If there is not enough space to show events in one day, Calendar will show a "more event" link:
The default text is from a javascript object.
msgcal.dayMORE = "+{0} more";
msgcal.monthMORE = "+{0} more";
To provide a different locale of text or override the text, you need to create a javascript file and load it. For example,
msgcal_zh.js
zk.afterLoad('calendar', function() {
msgcal = {};
msgcal.dayMORE = "+{0} 事件";
msgcal.monthMORE = "+{0} 事件";
});//zk.afterLoad
Then load the script with land-addon.xml
Date Format in Captions
You can change the date format Calendar renders in captions.
The DateFormatter interface
The DateFormatter interface requires 5 methods to be implemented. These are as follows:
Method | Usage |
---|---|
getCaptionByDayOfWeek | Returns the caption of the day of week. |
getCaptionByTimeOfDay | Returns the caption of the time of day. |
getCaptionByDate | Returns the caption of the date. |
getCaptionByDateOfMonth | Returns the caption of the date of month. |
getCaptionByPopup | Returns the caption of the popup title. |
Each function enables us to customize the appearance of the calendar at any opportunity. Implementing an interface such as this is excellent if you require fine-grained control. If you do not require such a level of control then ZK Calendar provides you with an implementation.
The SimpleDateFormatter Class
ZK Calendar provides us with the SimpleDateFormatter class which enables rapid development of ZK Calendar applications. The implementation is used by default within ZK Calendar. In some circumstances, you may require a more powerful implementation and therefore need to create customization.
Using a Customized DateFormatter
To make use of a customized DateFormatter implementation, there are 2 ways:
By Java
calendar.setDateFormatter(new MyDateFormatter());
By ZUL
<calendars dateFormatter="foo.MyDateFormatter"/>
