How to grab proprietary data for timeline

[iandunn]

I’m checking out different timeline applications and I think dhtmlxSchedule looks really good, but before I buy it I want to make sure it can do what I need. I’d like to use the Wordpress plugin and the Timeline view.

My data is stored in a proprietary application, so I can’t use the standard Connector class. So, am I right in thinking that my two options are to 1) create a custom Connector; or 2) use the JavaScript API to load the data from JSON?

I think I’m leaning towards option #2, but in order to do that I would need to be able to register a function that fires when the timeline is scrolled, and also pass the current date range of the timeline to that function. Is it possible to do that?

Hello,

Actually scheduler plugin version is free, you don’t need to buy anything

With that said plugin version is rather limited in possible customizations and is made to work with mysql. You can edit source code and make it load json data from your link though but we can’t help you there.

I think I’m leaning towards option #2, but in order to do that I would need to be able to register a function that fires when the timeline is scrolled, and also pass the current date range of the timeline to that function.

Not sure - what scrolling event do you mean?

Best regards,

I guess it’s not really scrolling, but just using the forward/back buttons to change the time range (e.g., dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dht … eline.html).
