Multiple timezone view of Scheduler

Provided that all dates are GMT you can add a secondary time header that will display another time zone. Just override onBeforeTimeHeaderRender and update the HTML as needed.

The limitation is that the built-in time header grouping rules are based on the GMT zone. That means the day boundaries will be based on GMT. On the hours level (and below) it will work well.

dp.timeHeaders = [
  {groupBy: "Day"},  // GMT day
  {groupBy: "Hour"},  // GMT hour
  {groupBy: "Hour"},  // custom timezone
];

dp.onBeforeTimeHeaderRender = function(args) {
  if (args.header.level === 2) {
   var local = getLocalTimeString(args.header.start);
   args.header.html = local;
  }
};

getLocalTimeString() is your method that will get the local time for a given GMT time. This assumes you receive a list of time point mappings from the server side. Simple hour/minutes offset will only work for a limited set of use cases (because of the daylight saving time).

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

The date boundaries would be an issue for this requirement and more than 2 timezones too. Is it possible to set the local timezone for a timeline? I'm thinking another way to show this could be split into more than one scheduler area, so one scheduler area for each timezone - date/time mappings would still be needed, of course.

This is for a commercial application, where we have developed a desktop scheduler which allows multiple timezones in one display, but we are looking to provide a web-based equivalent. Our server piece can provide date/time point mappings for any timezone including daylight saving changes. Do you undertake paid-for development work to provide enhancements of this nature?

Many thanks again.

Best regards
