area below timeline resources available for dateClick

When filterResourcesWithEvents is set to true, dayClick is not triggering when there are no visible resources. Is this a bug or a feature? Any workaround?

hi @lorinkoz , @acerix 's explanation was a potential workaround that you’d hypothetically be able to implement, however, now that I’m trying to step through exactly how you might do it, it seems rather unreasonable/impossible.

Acerix was right: the dayClick handler was only meant to be fired if the click happens on a time slot that’s associated with a resource. Changing this behavior for a 3.x release would be a bad idea because it would break compatibility. I’l consider a solution that addresses this for v4.

In the meantime, I can suggest a workaround, but it’s more of a UI workaround than a code workaround… I assume you pop up some type of dialog box after the user clicks the time slots they desire. You probably ask for the new event’s name or other data. What you can do is attach a click handler that fires when we know there is no resources for the current day. Then, you could pop up your dialog and make sure to ask the user for the time of their event in the dialog.

I wrote a way to achieve this at the bottom of your js bin: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/VdPozq?editors=0010

Does that make sense?

Not sure why in my code it’s overriding normal eventClick. Gotta investigate.
