How to: Change SharePoint Calendar Events Based on Text in the Event Title

**It is worthy to note that I am using SharePoint 2013 O365

The request this time was for a room scheduling Calendar in SharePoint. If the room layout is “Temporary”, the words “TEMPORARY HOLD” are concatenated to the title of the event, and the showing field for the Calendar view is “=Location&”--”&Title”.  So right now the Calendar looks like this: 

You can see on the Calendar, there are two events that currently have Temporary holds, one on the 19th, and one on the first.

After a very brief Google search, I came across this How To, which is very similar to what I wanted to do, however, we didn’t have the room layout field as a category; it just concatenates the text to the beginning of the title. So here’s what I did!

First thing, I pulled the script file it references offline and uploaded it into the Site Assets folder. It just makes it easier to have it all on you SharePoint location than counting on nothing changing with that file. Next, I moved to the main Javascript file. 

First thing I changed was the var separator, var SEPARATOR = “--”;

Easy to change and easy to see why. Here is the calculated column they use:

vs what I said we used above. Because of this change, the indices we return in the functions GetActualText and GetCategory change from what he posted to:

function GetActualText(originalText) {          var parts = originalText.split(SEPARATOR);      return parts[0] + "-" + parts[1];   }

function GetCategory(originalText) {      var parts = originalText.split(SEPARATOR);      return parts[1];   }

After that, I then moved to the cases, since we only have two cases: If the title contains Temporary hold, or if it does not. But first, the logic behind finding if Temporary is in the title. After a little bit of research, I found the best way was to see if our “category” (which is the variable returned from the GetCategory function), contained “temporary” was by seeing if it returned a positive index:

category.indexOf("TEMPORARY")>-1

If it has “TEMPORARY” in the title/category, it will return back any number 0+ for the index, making it greater than -1. By default of the indexOf(), if the index cannot be found, it returns a -1.  Then, the switch statements were altered to reflect this with the necessary colors:

case true:               bgcolour = '#006600';      fgcolour = '#f1f1f1';      break;     default:       bgcolour = '#0072C6';       fgcolour = '#f1f1f1';       break;

Pretty simple, but took a bit of testing to get it right with the indices. After that, I added the code to the calendar page, which the previous article explains the two main ways to do it, or my previous post lightly touched on adding code to a content editor.  And viola!

The temporary events show up in the designated color.

Until next time!

Calendar web part: Essential for the developers

There are many packages that form an integral part of share point and are used by developers to accomplish different tasks. The Calendar web part has played a very important role in connecting it to various sources, thereby providing detailed information about the events of the past and the future. It is fully capable of retrieving various lists depending on the requirements and the specifications of the users. The aggregated calendar view is essential to display the view of each event in detail which can be shared publicly or the access could be kept as private.

SharePoint Calendar comprise of Google calendar application that includes the events fetched to the local team calendar software. There are many systems such as a web service API that helps to integrate application with different systems available in an organization.  For instance, the calendar could be a very important tool in SAP application to find the birth date of employees.

The calendar can be fitted right in to the application without extensive coding and proves to be an amazing component to filter out the dates as per the demands and preferences of the end users.  One of the most important benefits of the share point is the quick creation of the databases by capturing information from the list.  If there is an active item on a particular date, it becomes bold which acts as an alert for the users.

Calendar can be made attractive by introducing color codes apart from different tool pane sections that enables the developers to customize the look as well as the behavior. Some of the features include drag and drop sleek user interface followed by appropriate event fields such as the title, location, start time and end time.

It is also possible to resize the calendar so that the component fits the website design in an easy and hassle free manner.  Data can easily be aggregated and exported to different format such as excel. Some of the benefits of installing calendar include support of shared Microsoft outlook calendar in addition to the coloring facility to list the values in column.

The web part has inherent capability to support dynamic URL tokens, enabling users to deploy it seamlessly on a site template without the need of reconfiguration.  Calendar supports asynchronous events; hence the effectiveness of the page is not compromised.

User interface is simple allowing developers to create query string filtering and paging in table view for displaying data. All the events can be aggregated together through the calendar web part from multiple share pint websites.

True to share point theme, the component is multi lingual ensuring it’s working with different types of website located across the globe.  Platform independence is another virtue of the calendar as it is equipped with cross browser compatibility.
