x_date not updated at updateView()

Scheduler Javascript
#1

Hi all,

I’m creating a zoom option for scheduler timeline, and when i update x_date, it just wont change.

if (mode == ‘in’) {
scheduler.matrix[“timeline”].x_unit = “day”;
scheduler.matrix[“timeline”].x_date = “%D”;
scheduler.matrix[“timeline”].x_step = 1;
}

scheduler.updateView();

Date format stays at the default which “%H:%i”. All the other changes take effect! What is wrong with my code?

Thanks for your kind help!

Hello,
scheduler generates a template functions from a x_date value after initialization, so modifying a config value won’t have effect. You’ll have to redefine a template function function
docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/api__s … plate.html

Also, note that a preferable way for emulating a zoom functionality is to define a several timelines with different scale units and steps and dinamically switching them. I.e. you define a separate timeline for each zoom level and change the active one when it’s switched. That approach can allow manage zoom easier and can simplify the code
