[FullCalendar] Get current month on a button click
Question
Forge

Web icon
FullCalendar (O11)
Forge asset by Joop Stringer
Joop, I'm sorry for my little expertise (I'm a beginner)...

I have a reference to the FullCalendar component in my project, but how can I gather the current month/year by a button click, once I can't access the 'CalendarPlaceHolder' directly from my project?

Not sure what you want to achieve .. do you want the calendar to "jump" to a specific date by the push of a button somewhere on the screen ? If so ... just add a button, add a screen action like this

Just set the startdate and refresh the webblock et voila !

No, that's not what I want.

Let's suppose that the user have navigated to a specific month, via browser/javascript. I want to pass this month to the server-side so when I refresh the webblock, it will be at the same month.

Yeah that's what this does ... set the startDate parameter to the selected month/year and refresh the webblock.
That will trigger a renewed AJAX call to get the JSON data from the backend via the JSONurl in the webblock

JSONUrl? Where is it? Actually I don't understand how to get the JSON stuff working here.
 
I made this: On a button click, I pass some parameters to the server that triggers an SQL Query and refreshes the webblock. It's working perfectly. But still with a fixed 'startDate'.
 
Now I need 2 things, and this is flooding my mind...
1. I got to pass to the server the month/year presented in the current view together with other parameters as filters. So my screen action can refresh the webblock preserving the month/year that the user is seeing.
2. When the user navigate to the next or previous month, I need to refresh the Events List for the new month.

Have a look at the demopage.
On the left there is on the bottom the script to load data via JSON
Otherwise take a look at the following link https://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/event_data/events_json_feed/

The calendarblock automatically calls the JSON file whenever a user switches month/day/week
Check the CalendarJSON page in the OML

Joop! It worked perfectly! I took a look at the documentation of the jquery plugin and everything went fine.

I have made a few changes to the original project so I can pass other parameters to the FullCalendar component by a button click and by the events that trigger the AJAX to process.

Really thank you, and once I'm able to help improve the project, I'll do it.

I am facing the same problem in Angular web app where I am trying to retain the current Month/Week/Day Page. Will it be possible to work with this?
I don't want to send it to server, even saving it in local storage would suffice can you please tell me how you did it?
