How to show scheduler in meeting creation ?

[tothewine]

It is only shown as a panel after the entity is created for me...

Hi there,
Could you provide a little bit more information about how does your issue look like?
Does that mean that you see only panel w/o any time points? Could you provide a screenshot?

Basically this Maximus (see screenshot)

I think this is what tothewine meant. At least I feel like it is the problem.

I had a look at Layout Manager and it seem like Scheduler is available in Bottom Panels section but no where else (e.g. we want it in Detail (Small)); perhaps if you can figure out to unlock the restriction then we can have it shown in Details as well. But considering it is a Bottom Panels I don't think it be an easy task.

Hi esforim,
Thanks for the input. I don't think that adding the 'Scheduler' panel to the bottom of the 'Edit small' view is possible w/o hard codding. I suggest you done it with the easiest way by creating the 'Scheduler' panel for the 'Edit small' view:
1. Create the file /client/custom/src/views/meeting/record/panels/scheduler.js with this code:

define('custom:views/meeting/record/panels/scheduler', 'views/record/panels/side', function (Dep) {

    return Dep.extend({

        templateContent: '<div class="scheduler-container no-margin">{{{scheduler}}}</div>',

        setup: function () {
            Dep.prototype.setup.call(this);

            var viewName = this.getMetadata().get(['clientDefs', this.scope, 'schedulerView']) || 'crm:views/scheduler/scheduler';

            this.createView('scheduler', viewName, {
                el: this.getSelector() + ' .scheduler-container',
                notToRender: true,
                model: this.model,
            });

            this.once('after:render', function () {
                if (this.disabled) return;
                this.getView('scheduler').render();
                this.getView('scheduler').notToRender = false;
            }, this);

            if (this.defs.disabled) {
                this.once('show', function () {
                    this.getView('scheduler').render();
                    this.getView('scheduler').notToRender = false;
                }, this);
            }
        },

        actionRefresh: function () {
            this.getView('scheduler').reRender();
        },

    });
});

2. Create the file or add to the file: /custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/Meeting.json this code:

{
    "sidePanels":{
        "editSmall":[
            "__APPEND__",
            {
                "name":"scheduler",
                "label":"Scheduler",
                "view":"custom:views/meeting/record/panels/scheduler",
                "sticked": true,
                "isForm": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

3. Administration -> Clear Cache
4. Refresh a web page.

Create a meeting via an Activity panel (see screenshot).

Also, it is a great example of side panel creation.
