Add sections and events on the fly in timeline view

Scheduler Javascript
#1

Hi,

I’m having some problem trying to add sections and events on the fly in the timeline view (not in tree mode).
I was first using addSection() and addEvent() but i read in the doc that this is reserved for timeline in treeview mode so i 'm trying to use the updateCollection. and this is working fine with the sections.

scheduler.createTimelineView({
       ...
        y_unit: scheduler.serverList("elemJour", listeUsers),
        ...
    });

then in a function i’m calling

scheduler.updateCollection("elemJour", updatedListeUsers);

And the section is added
My events are loading as followed in the init() function

scheduler.parse(JSON.stringify(scheduler.serverList("events", listeEvents)), "json");

then right after inserting my section i’m trying to add the related events
I get them from an ajax call then i add the returned events to my global list and then i update the collection but nothing happend my section (just added above) remain still empty.

$.getJSON(urlGetUserEvent , function (datauserevent) { 
                
                // add new events to the main list
                listeEvents = listeEvents.concat(datauserevent);
                
                // update events collection
                scheduler.updateCollection("events", listeEvents);
                
                // close modale   
                $('#addUserForm').modal('hide'); 
            });

I’m sure i’m missing something :slight_smile:

Doesn’t seem to work this way but the scheduler.addEvent(ev); is working fine in a loop.

$.getJSON(urlGetUserEvent , function (datauserevent) { 
                
                $.each(datauserevent, function(i,vi){
                    scheduler.addEvent(vi);
                });
                
                // close modal   
                $('#addUserForm').modal('hide'); 
            });

thanks

hi,
you can use scheduler.parse for adding multiple events:
