Meteor Data Connector Package

Gantt
#1

Hello,

I’m still trying to proof this plugin out to my boss so we can buy the professional version which we need for exporting. Can you kindly provide some guidance on the following questions?

  1. After I insert the tasks directly into the mongodb task collection and I refresh the page, I can’t get the gantt to sort properly by the custom field tier or sortorder. Am I doing anything wrong?

    gantt.meteor(
    {tasks: TasksCollection.find( {} ,{sort: {tier:1} } ), links: LinksCollection.find(/[anything]/)},
    {tasks: TasksCollection, links: LinksCollection}

  2. After 100 rows there are performance issues loading the gantt. I will end up having 300-500 records so I can’t wait 5 minutes for the collection to load.

  3. When I insert a task directly in the taskcollection it looks like a duplicate is created?

Thank you!

Doug

Actually on the performance topic - anyway to add smart rendering to the current meteor package?

We will update the repo in next few day with Gantt 4.0, so all new functionality will be available.

As far as I can see, Gantt doesn’t preserve order of items directly. It renders them as they was loaded from server side, but if you have a new task coming from server side after that, they will be added to the end of related branch.

Hi I will investigate both issues. Most probably it is some regression because of changes in new version of Meteor.

Sort Order - I did some research and if I use a capped collection and insert the initial records in the order I want it solves that problem. However, I would like to define the sort order when subscribing to a published collection. Also, I’m not sure how to make the data connector work when I turn autopublish off?

4.0 Features I installed the packages manually and I was about to drop the 4.0 files in which worked! I would love the official version from dhtmlx though!

Performance Let me know if you notice better performance when loading 200-300 meteor records. Its very slow on my machine. Even with the 4.0 and performance tweaks listed on the faq.

Sorry I take that back, I wasn’t able to get 4.0 to work. Let me know when the package is available! Also, can you note how I can run the pro eval version with the meteor package! I need to render milestones diamonds in my POC. Thank you!!!
