K2 smartforms and the K2 community controls do not have a lightweight mini calendar control for the dynamic presentation of dates, in a colorful format. For example, you might have a requirement to highlight a particular date, using a colour, which varies on the event type. Conditional formatting in smartforms can be used to achieve something similar, but not within a calendar control.
K2 Automated Testing Software
rnBenchQA allows full test automation of K2, including fully automated K2 SmartForms and K2 Workflow testing. It promotes test driven development for K2 and ensures continued quality assurance for K2 solutions. Easily apply changes to test cases to accommodate changes to K2 apps and ensure all apps are regression tested to avoid defects and assure continuous quality.
Solution
We can easily achieve this by using HTML 5 generated by a database query that transforms the results into HTML. This is made available using a K2 smartobject. It’s a sophisticated way to represent all the important dates visually, instead of showing them in a list view. Performance is also improved because the calendar is rendered client side.
