Answer 1

You have to change the code as the table name seems incorrect. I dont know about the SchedulerConnector class but i guess first variable is table name

$scheduler->render_table("events","event_id","start_date,end_date,event_name,details");

You need to give the correct table name with extension like

$scheduler->render_table("nt29v_events","event_id","start_date,end_date,event_name,details");

you include nt29v_ in table name if this is your table extension; as you are connecting to Joomla database externally.

I checked the class and I got this

render_table configures connector and retrieves data from single table.

$conn->render_table($table,$id,$text,$extra,$relation);

Parameters:

$table - the name of a table.
$id - the name of the id field.
$text - a comma separated list of data fields.
$extra - a comma separated list of extra fields, optional.
$relation_id - used for building hierarchy in case of Tree and TreeGrid.

S what I guessed was correct Ref: http://docs.dhtmlx.com/connector__php__connector_object_methods.html#rendertable
