Loading in project calendar

[Craig Milne]

Hi Bryntum team

I am wanting to load in calendar data to Scheduler Pro like I load in all other data, via a PHP script.
For example, this is how assignment data are handled:

assignmentStore : 
	{
        createUrl : 'cmsincludes/libs/bryntum_dev/php/assignmentscreate.php',
        readUrl   : 'cmsincludes/libs/bryntum_dev/php/assignmentsread.php',
        updateUrl : 'cmsincludes/libs/bryntum_dev/php/assignmentsupdate.php',
        deleteUrl : 'cmsincludes/libs/bryntum_dev/php/assignmentsdelete.php',
		autoLoad: true,
		autoCommit: true,
		writeAllFields: true
    },

I can get the calendar data loading inline OK, but can't get it to read from a file.

Loading all data (events, resources, calendar etc.) from one file (e.g. 'loadUrl') is not suitable for my purposes, I would like to keep the individual data handling files like in my example above.

If possible could you please suggest a way I could load in calendar data from an external URL, thanks.

Hi,

You can load it like the way you're loading assignments
https://bryntum.com/products/schedulerpro/docs/api/SchedulerPro/model/ProjectModel#config-calendarManagerStore

calendarManagerStore : {
	readUrl : 'yourReadUrl',
	createUrl : '...',
	updateUrl : '....'
	....
}

I can get the calendar data loading inline OK, but can't get it to read from a file.

Though, I'm not sure what you mean by that!

Best regards,
Tasnim

Hi Tasnim

OK great, seems pretty obvious now that you have pointed it out. Thanks!

Hi there

I'm still having trouble loading in a custom calendar. I'd appreciate it if you could have a look at this and offer any suggestions.

My Scheduler declaration

const scheduler = new SchedulerPro
({		
	calendarManagerStore : 
	{
		readUrl : 'cmsincludes/libs/bryntum_dev/php/calendarread.php',
		autoLoad : true
	},
	project : {			
		// set default project calendar
       calendar             : 'test',		
	},
	ref : 'scheduler',

calendarread.php produces the following JSON

{"calendars":{"rows":{"id":"test","name":"Weekends","intervals":{"recurrentStartDate":"on Sat at 0:00","recurrentEndDate":"on Mon at 0:00","isWorking":false}}}}

but the CalendarManagerStore remains empty, it doesn't load in my 'test' calendar.
I've tried all kinds of variations but had no luck getting it to work.

If I use this Scheduler declaration it works fine, but then I can't make the calendar data dynamic:

const scheduler = new SchedulerPro
({		
	project : {			
       calendar : 'test',
	   calendarsData : [
            {
                id        : 'test',
                name      : 'Weekends',
                intervals : [
					{
                        recurrentStartDate : 'on Sat at 0:00',
                        recurrentEndDate   : 'on Mon at 0:00',
                        isWorking          : false
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
	},
	ref : 'scheduler',

Thanks....

Hi,

Try to use store data format, since you use store level data and not ProjectModel, that you copied data format from

{
    "success" : true,
    "total"   : 50000,
    "data"    : [{
            "id":"test","name":"Weekends","intervals": ......
        }]
}

Hi Alex

That worked for me, thank you so much! Now I can customise the non-working intervals as I need to. This is the JSON now produced by calendarread.php, which is successfully loaded in as the project calendar:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "test",
      "name": "Test",
      "intervals": [
        {
          "recurrentStartDate": "on Sat at 0:00",
          "recurrentEndDate": "on Mon at 0:00",
          "isWorking": "false"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Hey Craig Milne,

Glad that is all working now and thanks for sharing your implementation here, for sure it'll help others in the forums!
