I have a fullcalendar with external elements being dragged onto it. I'm relatively new to jquery. I don't know quite how to get the ID of the object being dragged to a "trash can" icon. I simply want to drag items off of the calendar to a image and when I let go of the mouse the item is removed.
This is my code.....

Complete tutorial, how to add "move to trash" function to fullcalendar
HERE IS DEMO
if you do not want to use droppable:
from fullcalendar.css delete this lines
.fc-view
{
/* prevents dragging outside of widget */
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
find in fullcalenar.js (line cca 6086)
function eachEventElement(event, exceptElement, funcName) {
var elements = eventElementsByID[event._id],
i, len = elements.length;
for (i=0; i<len; i++) {
if (!exceptElement || elements[i][0] != exceptElement[0]) {
elements[i][funcName]();
}
}
}
and change to:
function eachEventElement(event, exceptElement, funcName) {
var elements = eventElementsByID[event._id],
i;
if (elements != null) {
var len = elements.length;
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (!exceptElement || elements[i][0] != exceptElement[0]) {
elements[i][funcName]();
}
}
}
}
in js:
//actually cursor position
var currentMousePos = {
x: -1,
y: -1
};
//set actually cursor pos
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery(document).on("mousemove", function (event) {
currentMousePos.x = event.pageX;
currentMousePos.y = event.pageY;
});
});
//check if cursor is in trash
function isElemOverDiv() {
var trashEl = jQuery('#calendarTrash');
var ofs = trashEl.offset();
var x1 = ofs.left;
var x2 = ofs.left + trashEl.outerWidth(true);
var y1 = ofs.top;
var y2 = ofs.top + trashEl.outerHeight(true);
if (currentMousePos.x >= x1 && currentMousePos.x <= x2 &&
currentMousePos.y >= y1 && currentMousePos.y <= y2) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
//fullcalendar mouseover callback
eventMouseover: function (event, jsEvent) {
$(this).mousemove(function (e) {
var trashEl = jQuery('#calendarTrash');
if (isElemOverDiv()) {
if (!trashEl.hasClass("to-trash")) {
trashEl.addClass("to-trash");
}
} else {
if (trashEl.hasClass("to-trash")) {
trashEl.removeClass("to-trash");
}
}
});
},
//fullcalendar eventdragstop callback
eventDragStop: function (event, jsEvent, ui, view) {
if (isElemOverDiv()) {
jQuery('#fr-calendar').fullCalendar('removeEvents', event.id);
var trashEl = jQuery('#calendarTrash');
if (trashEl.hasClass("to-trash")) {
trashEl.removeClass("to-trash");
}
}
},
in fullcalendar set option dragRevertDuration: 0,
in fullcalendar declaration add loading callback function for append a trashcalendar:
loading: function (bool) {
if (!bool) {
jQuery('.fc-header-left').append('<div id="calendarTrash" class="calendar-trash"><img src="' + imagePath + '/cal-trash.png"></img></div>');
}
},
css for trash:
div.calendar-trash{
float: left;
padding-right: 8px;
margin-right:5px;
padding-left:8px;
padding-top: 3px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.to-trash{
background-color:#EAEAEA;
-webkit-border-radius: 5em;
border-radius: 5em;
}
If loading callback not working, add trash on end of jquery document ready function.
foo.JFS('.fc-header-left').append('<div id="calendarTrash" class="calendar-trash"><img src="/images/cal-trash.png"></img></div>');
trash icon:
first of all you're gonna need to remove overflow statement from css:
.fc-view
{
/* prevents dragging outside of widget */
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
then you can use eventDragStop
here is something I just did hope it helps. I dont know if you are using php/mysql but if your not just remove the ajax call and keep what is in the success function.
$('#calendar').children('.fc-content').children().append('<div id="calendarTrash" style="float: right; padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-trash"></span></div>');
//listens for drop event
$("#calendarTrash").droppable({
tolerance: 'pointer',
drop: function(event, ui) {
if ( dragged && ui.helper && ui.helper[0] === dragged[0] ) {
var event = dragged[1];
var answer = confirm("Delete Event?")
if (answer)
{
$.ajax({
url:'/employees/removeevent?id='+event.id,
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError)
{
//console.log(xhr.status);
//console.log(thrownError);
},
success: function()
{
calendar.fullCalendar( 'removeEvents' , event.id );
}
});
}
}
}
});
eventDragStart: function( event, jsEvent, ui, view ) {
dragged = [ ui.helper[0], event ];
},
