Dynamically load fullcalendar with JSON data into addEventSource

Question

Actually title is telling everything. I do a ajax call, it's return a event list.Then I want put the list into fullcalendar. This operation should be for every changed selected username.

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "get_event_list.php",
    data: "username="+user,
    success: function(ajaxCevap) {

        var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(ajaxCevap);
        var events = new Array();

        $.each(obj,function(index,value) {

            event = new Object();       
            event.title = value['title']; 
            event.start = value['start']; 
            event.end = value['end'];
            event.color = value['backgroundColor'];
            event.allDay = false;

            events.push(event);
        });

        $('#calendar').fullCalendar("removeEvents");        
        $('#calendar').fullCalendar('addEventSource', events);      
        $('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchEvents');

    }
});

addEventSource is not working. Nothing append to fullcalendar.

Here is the container : <div id="calendar"></div>

--- EDIT ---

I get an error : Uncaught exception: TypeError: Cannot convert 'getDaySegmentContainer()' to object

Solution

I used a style suggested by the fullcalendar documentation: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/event_data/Event_Source_Object/

So if you are using rails like I was, I had this in my document ready script:

eventSources: [{
    url: '/mymodel.json',
    ignoreTimezone: false
}],

Then in the model itself:

def index
#gets list

@mymodel = Mymodel.all.map { |r| {:title => r.title , :start => r.date, :color => '#66FF33', :end => r.enddate, :id => r.id} } 

 respond_to do |format|
    format.html
    format.json { render :json => @mymodel }
 end
end

How to refetch your events after username change ? This code is run at first load.

[kjbradley]

If you "logged out" or you change your username, the page should refresh itself and the events will reload accordingly.

If your username change stimulates a page request or refresh, it should be the same as a "first load".
