Scheduler

We're evaluating the scheduler control and I have a couple of questions. We've build a crm tool that has an ability to schedule an event without a start and end time (just a date). Is there anyway to define an event without a time? I tried putting in 00:00 as the time and the app really didn't handle it well. Additionally, can you point me in the direction to the xml file layout and finally will you be adding a ghant chart to your scheduler?

Thanks so much for you time and great job guys.

If you want to create an event which takes the whole date it may have a 00:00 as time, but different dates for start and end
For example todays event will be 12/23/2009 00:00 - 12/24/2009 00:00

Hello,

>> . Is there anyway to define an event without a time?

It is possible to customize scheduler to disable time in detail form.

>>  can you point me in the direction to the xml file layout

the xml format is the following:

<data>
  <event id="event_id_here">
  <start_date><![CDATA[start date here]]></start_date>
  <end_date><![CDATA[end date here]]></end_date>
  <text><![CDATA[event text here]]></text>
  <custom1><![CDATA[......]]></custom1>
  ...
  <customN><![CDATA[......]]></customN>
 </event>
  ...
</data>

Moreover it is possible to use connector to render xml. Please, see details here http://dhtmlx.com/dhxdocs/doku.php?id=dhtmlxscheduler:server_side_integration
