Hi,

i'm using the CalendarExtender from AjaxToolkit. My Application is only viewed in Intranet and only in Germany. But when i open the Calendar it always shows the english Names for Month.

So how can I change to german language? I tried <globalization culture="auto" /> in web.config and EnableScriptGlobalization="true" in ScriptManager but nothing changed.

Hope someone can help!

The only text that changes languages for me is the day name row.  The month name, the day tooltips and the "Today" footer are all displayed in English regardless of my culture setting.  I'm trying to create my own custom version of the CalendarExtender to fix those bugs, using the sourcecode from the toolkit.

Hi,

to solve this problem you must modify the source code.

In particular, you must substitute this line in file CalendarBehavior.js:

1) this._title.innerHTML = visibleDate.format("MMMM, yyyy"); with

this._title.innerHTML = visibleDate.localeFormat("MMMM, yyyy");

2) dayCell.title = currentDate.format("D"); with

dayCell.title = currentDate.localeFormat("D");

3) this._today.innerHTML = "Today: " + todaysDate.format("MMMM d, yyyy"); with

this._today.innerHTML = "Today: " + todaysDate.localeFormat("MMMM d, yyyy");

Unfortunately, the string "Today" is mapped into the js file and it not parametrized.

Bye

Hi,

I am also using the control for my application which is based on localisation. But Even if changeing the code above in .js file the months and weekdays name are not converting according to culture.

 Please guide .

thanks in advance.

 

Thanks mate

I set Scriptmanger1.EnableGlobalisation = true

and changed the code above in calenderbehaior.js file

all text is converted now.

 

 

We should have the changes for the localization into the dev branch today.  As far as localizing the text, we haven't gotten far enough with the Toolkit that we've begun localizing text strings just yet but we're working on it.

Thanks mate

Any way of set this in web.config or somewhere else? I really don't want to set it in all ScriptManagers on my website...

Thanks a lot. 

Hi,

I have created my own ScriptManager, that inherits from the System.Web.UI.ScriptManager and in the constructor i setup the default options that i read from the Web.Config.

 Hope it helps

Another question:

I need to escape de "d" character (the output must be "30 de <month>"). I tried "dd \de MMMM" but it still showing "30 30e  <month>"...

Thanks again...
 

Hey, I've just put the "de" between single quotes, like this: "dd 'de' MMMM" and worked fine.

We should have the changes for the localization into the dev branch today.  As far as localizing the text, we haven't gotten far enough with the Toolkit that we've begun localizing text strings just yet but we're working on it.

Great. But couldn`t this be made a property, pretty much like asp:Login control works?

Create a "CurrentDateLabel" or something like it with default value of "Today: ", and after localization, it will use the default text for the current culture, so we can change it now and it is pretty much the way asp.net works.

 

 
 

Mate, you're an absolute star !

I was looking for a solution as I need to localise the calendar to French and thanks to your code and don't forget to set EnableScriptGlobalization="true" in the ScriptManager, everything works like a charm. Just got rid of "Today: " all together, it still makes sense.

This new ajax control toolkit is going to be everywhere on my future websites...

Glad to see some amazing work being done to make the web a better place. I really like this new ajax stuff, it's brilliant!!! 

I've been spending days coming up with good calendar controls in the past being a web developer since 1999... no more of this! 

THANK YOU 

To solve the problem of "Today" is to add a property :

 in cs file, add

[

DefaultValue("Today")]
[ExtenderControlProperty]
[ClientPropertyName("todayCaption")]
public virtual string TodayCaption
{
get { return GetPropertyValue("TodayCaption", "Today"); }
set { SetPropertyValue("TodayCaption", value); }
}

in js file, after the initializeBase() call, add

this._todayCaption = "Today";

 

in js file, after the set_cssClass function, add

get_todayCaption :

function() {
/// <value type="String">
/// The caption for Today's date
/// </value>
return this._todayCaption;
},

set_todayCaption :

function(value) {
if (this._todayCaption != value) {
this._todayCaption = value;
}
},

 

and replace

this._today.innerHTML = "Today: " + todaysDate.localeFormat("MMMM d, yyyy");

with

this._today.innerHTML = this._todayCaption + ": " + todaysDate.localeFormat("MMMM d, yyyy");

 

That's all and you can change the TodayCaption propety in VS.

You can do the same with the date format of today "MMMM d, yyyy");

Now, that's just the cherry on the cake, thanks for the code Lionel!

this._today.innerHTML = "Today: " + todaysDate.localeFormat("MMMM d, yyyy");

with

this._today.innerHTML = this._todayCaption + ": " + todaysDate.localeFormat("MMMM d, yyyy");

 

what file?
