Empty Calendar - when no data

[leenasn]

Hi,

Thank you for the plugin. One thing I noticed when there are no data to show, I expect it to render an empty calendar. But it instead renders "No data found" message, the std. Active Admin message. Can you let me know what can be done to render an empty calendar?

Thanks,
Leena

Hi @leenasn.

This is because Active Admin renders the "No data found" message before sending instead of calling the index renderer. /active_admin/views/pages/index.rb#L55

The functionality you need can be accomplished rewriting the render_blank_slate method.

@gbisheimer thanks for the quick response. I will try overriding render_blank_slate method.

Another question: how can I pass a scope or a condition ti filter the model? For eg: I am getting all the appointments that the current logged in user has access to. My configuration is:

`
index_as_calendar ({ ajax: true,

  includes: [:practitioner],

  start_date: :starts_at,

  end_date: :ends_at
 }) do | appointment |

 {
   id: appointment.id,

   title: appointment.member_name,

   start: appointment.starts_at,

   end: appointment.ends_at,

   url: admin_appointment_path(appointment),

   tooltip: {

     title: "Booking for #{appointment.practitioner.name} Therapist #{appointment.therapist.name}",

     text: appointment.details

   }

}

end
`
It returns all the appointments for the given start, end date range. I want to restrict it to only the appointments the logged in user has access to. How can I do that? It is not clear from the documentation.

Thanks,
Leena

For anyone still looking for the solution, you can check permission inside the block, and return empty hash if user does not have requisite privileges
