JSGantt now in Beta - New site and features

    Posted At : September 25, 2008 12:40 PM

Response to JSGantt has been overwhelming. I got over 100 emails from developers around the world. I am pleased to announce a new site http://www.jsgantt.com and a new beta version of JSGantt.

The main new feature is the ability to load the task data from an external XML file using the new JSGantt.parseXML() method. Some look and feel as well as performance enhancements have been made.

Please note that the Gantt chart API has changed since the initial alpha. Instead of constantly adding arguments to the GanttChart() method there are now only three required arguments and 3 new configuration methods:

  • g.setShowRes(pShow) - Show/Hide Responsible (0/1)
  • g.setShowDur(pShow) -Show/Hide Duration (0/1)
  • g.setShowComp(pShow) - Show/Hide % Complete(0/1)

John Farrar's Gravatar I really get tired of figure out what lisc. restrictions are! lol ... could you explain BSD? (Hoping you know why you choose it.)

Shlomy Gantz's Gravatar I chose BSD because:
- it has the very little restrictions on re-distribution
- has some level of liability protection
You can read more on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_license

As I mentioned in the post, I am more than willing to release it under a different license if so requested.

Mark Fuqua's Gravatar Considering all the work that must have gone into this, it feels like I'm whining when I ask, but...Any plans to wrap this up in a CF custom tag?

I am pretty sure it was your gantt CF custome tag i played with in the past. This one looks really sweet.

Mark Fuqua's Gravatar That's it, exactly. Thanks.

It aligns and responds much nicer than the last version. Other than no ability to alter the CSS, do you see other draw backs to using the custom tag as opposed to the bare JS?

Shlomy Gantz's Gravatar @Mark The CSS is in gantt.cfm , the only drawback is that is that you may have to wait a day between the launch of the official JSGantt 1.0 and CFGantt 3.0
