Key value format not correct for JSON

Scheduler Javascript
#1

I’m trying to use Laravel and DHtmlX Scheduler. I’ve got Laravel sending data from the controller in the following format:

[{"id":1,"text":8,"start_date":"2013-10-23 00:00:00","end_date":"2013-10-24 00:00:00"},{"id":2,"text":8,"start_date":"2013-10-23 07:00:00","end_date":"2013-10-23 08:22:00"}]

According to everything I’ve read this is valid JSON and is the default that Laravel sends. DHtmlX is expecting the same code in this format:

[{id:1,text:8,start_date:"2013-10-23 00:00:00",end_date:"2013-10-24 00:00:00"},{id:2,text:8,start_date:"2013-10-23 07:00:00",end_date:"2013-10-23 08:22:00"}]

Which is just a JS array, not valid JSON. (Notice absence of “” on key) How can I change what DHtmlX is expecting so it supports valid JSON?

Thanks!

First one is the standard JSON
Second one is a variation that still can be processed by javascript
Both are valid, and dhtmlxScheduler is able to load both

#3

The calendar is being displayed and it’s still not showing any events. This is how I have it initialized. Have I done this correctly?

scheduler.init('scheduler_here', new Date(),"month"); scheduler.load('shifts/data', 'json');

#4

Try to define the date format before data loading

		scheduler.config.xml_date="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i";

Place this line before scheduler.load command.

Nearly solved it. I put it before load and it still didn’t show. I put it before init and bingo. Thanks for your help!
