Hi,

Is there a way of using the MBS plugin to go to a date and view.

I would like to call it from a script, this would stop the webview from having to refresh or be reloaded.

If so could you please show an example of the code I would need.

You don’t need MBS to get the date & view – that’s available in the URL of the web viewer.

Use the following FileMaker function.

getlayoutobject($$calendar_object;”source”)

Morning Ken

My solution I am building has the option to add a follow-up appointment for the client.

So when you open the event I have a button bar with 1, 2, 3, 4 representing how many weeks in the future the follow-up appointment is needed.

when the user clicks let’s say 2 it creates a new event and I would like to take the user to that day, so the user can set the correct time.

In your option what is the best way of doing this? Is there a way without the webview flashing when reloading the change of date?

The easiest way to navigate to the new date is to change the URL to reflect the new date (see http://www.sosimplesoftware.com/products/calendar-documentation/calendar-builder-reference/adjusting-your-calendar/url-anchors-for-date-and-view-links/). There’s no need for MBS or JavaScript.

To navigate the calendar using MBS, you can send this JavaScript to your webviewer:

scheduler.setCurrentView(new Date(2017,7,4));

See MBS documentation on how to do this:

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the sample code.

We I use this I am going 1 full month ahead, I can not work out why.

I set up a workaround by ~_month -1 

I have set up a test with the following:

Date = 19/12/2017

Custom function to pass the date into the correct format =

dateForScheduler (theDate)

Let([

~_month =Month (theDate);

~_day = Day(theDate );

~_year = Year(theDate )

];

~_year  & “,”  & ~_month  & “,”  &  ~_day

)

then set a veriable  = MBS(“WebView.RunJavaScript”; “web_calendar”; “scheduler.setCurrentView(new Date(” & dateForScheduler (  Date )  & “));”)

 

Any advice would be very helpful

Your “workaround” is fine. JavaScript date function uses zero-based months, so new Date (2017, 0 , 5) is Jan 5.
