locally this approach works. 

It adds the formatted value of details property to the events text. But event_text template isn't applied to text in lightbox.

The function replace() works but in my unit view when i want to create a new event, my select is not generate automatically.

In the file attachement, the screenshots unit_whithout_function shows that the select "Assigné à " is selected according to the selected section and the bloc of event is displayed.
In the other screenshots the display is different when i use the function replace().

Sorry for my english, i use google translate :-)

The issue isn't clear enough. Could you please provide more details. The working sample (without server side scripts) is preferable.

It is possible to use the function str_replace() in events.php for replace the " \n " by " <br>" ?

You can try to use beforeRender event of the connector:

function custom_format($event){

  $details = $event->get_value("details");

   /*your code here*/ 

   $event ->set_value(...);

}
 $tree->event->attach("beforeRender",custom_format);

Probably you should redefine the set_value method.

In events.php i have this :

function custom_format($event){

        $details = $event->get_value("details");

        $event ->set_value("details",str_replace("\n","<br>",$details));
    }
$scheduler = new schedulerConnector($res);
 $scheduler->enable_log("log.txt",true);
   
$scheduler->event->attach("beforeRender",custom_format);
$scheduler->render_sql("select * from events","event_id","start_date,end_date,event_name,details,section_id,type_id");


But in my textarea, the tags <br> display.

Method $event ->set_value("details",str_replace("\n","<br>",$details)); replaces \n with <br> tags - that is why <br> are displayed.

The details can be also formatted on client:

scheduler.form_blocks.textarea.set_value=function(node,value,ev){
     node.firstChild.value=value.replace(.......)||"";
}
