Unable to switch to Today's date on scheduler using the calendar widget

[roshini.davParticipant]

This is your JQX Scheduler example. Click on little calendar icon to open up the calendar.
Then click on today’s date, which is highlighted. It does not update the selected date. If you click on any date other than current/today’s, it works fine.

Hello roshini,

Can you please clarify?
What do you want to happen when you click on ‘today’ or the current data.

If you click on a date, that isn’t selected the scheduler will go that date, because it is selected.
But if today’s Data is already selected and you click it, it won’t do anything, because it is already selected.

No, if you go to that link, today’s date is not selected already. It is on the week “20 November 2016 – 27 November 2016”. I want to switch to Today’s date 02 May 2018 (the date with the square around it). If I click on it, nothing happens. Now, click on 1 day before/after the date date with square on it (01 May 2018 for eg). It will switch and you see week of “29 April 2018 – 06 May 2018”.
Hope it is more clear now.

Hello roshini,

Here is an example: Link

It shows you that date because you have most likely set the date property to something like “2016, 10, 24”.

Try setting the date to date: new $.jqx.date(2018, 04, 03), as shown in the example.

It was not my example, it is yours.. And the date is set correctly as “date : new $.jqx.date(2015, 11, 23)”.

I have updated your example. https://jseditor.io/?key=0bf3cf994fcd11e89e5100224d6bfcd5
Made only 1 change:
1. removed ensureAppointmentVisible from ready function. Because what’s the point of testing this if it’s already on the current week..

You can see the issue now. Run it and try to click on the highlighted date i.e. 5/4/2018 as of the time I’m writing this. It does NOT switch to the current week. Click on any other date, it will switch correctly.

Thanks,
Roshini

Hi,

I had a question if something was changed with the “Today” and “clear” links on the calendar widget. Were they dropped from newer versions? I don’t see on https://jseditor.io/?key=d26d4b6741b011e8b3a100224d6bfcd5. But I have it in the 4.2.1 version we are using.

Thanks,
Roshini

Hello Roshini,

This seems to be an issue coming from jseditor only.
They are not dropped in the newer versions.
You can see that the same example is working fine is jqFiddle.

Ohh great. I can use the fiddle to ask my real question!
When you run first time, if u open the calendar and click on “Today” link, nothing happens. This is similar to my initial issue (above) where I clicked the highlighted date (current date), but here I was using the “Today” link.
After you pick a different date and it switches, thereafter if I use the “Today” link, it works fine. But if you don’t switch to another date first, then “Today” link does not work.

if you click on clear button it go to today date

Hello roshini.dav,

Yes, this is a known issue.
We have a work item created about it. It should be fixed in some of the upcoming versions.
Thank you for your feedback!
