Setting grid values server side

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

My application has the following requirement and knowing how to do this may be useful for other cases too but here is the main one…

grid.setDateFormat("%m/%d/%Y")

I have the date format as a user setting in a database so I need a way to get this value to javascript, most likely using php. Here is an example of what I need

var dateFormat = someFunction(“getDateFormat.php”);
grid.setDateFormat(dateFormat)

Is there a way to do this?

You may try to use the ajax request to get the varieble to the client-side.
For example:

dhtmlxAjax.get("getDateFormat.php",function(loader){ grid.setDateFormat(loader.xmlDoc.responseText) });
