Tasks end on wrong date in Chart (Bug)

Gantt
#1

Hi,

i have the following problem in my implementation:

I provide the chart with the dates 10-05-2014 and 20-05-2014 as start and end date for a task. dhtmlxGantt then shows the correct dates in the columns on the left (2014-05-10, 2014-05-20) but in the chart itself the task ends at 2014-05-19 …

Is there a known issue that the calculation of duration for a task is done wrong in dhtmlxGantt?
I could fix the issue by providing duration+1 instead of end date, but then if i would show the end date on the left, it would be wrong.

Any other way to fix that bug?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This is not exactly a bug. 20-05-2014 is interpreted as 00:00:00 20 May 2014 - which means task ends by 20 May, not including the day.
If you want to show dates inclusively, try to modify the template function for the columns

Yeah, that is what i figured. I didn’t know you could provide a time for the date as well.

Did that now, setting the startdate to 00:00 and the enddate to 23:59 and that did the trick.

Thanks a lot for clarifying that.
