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"/>
