How to change date format in dhtmlx Gantt?


I have a Gantt template which I downloaded from Gantt Docs

Well, I called my gantt but I want to set the time range to the years 2015-2023, instead of letting it default to days/months, but I don't know where I can change it.

                progress:0.4, open: true},
            {id:2, text:"Task #1",    start_date:"02-04-2013", duration:8, order:10,
                progress:0.6, parent:1},
            {id:3, text:"Task #2",    start_date:"11-04-2013", duration:8, order:20,
                progress:0.6, parent:1}
        ],
        links:[
            { id:1, source:1, target:2, type:"1"},
            { id:2, source:2, target:3, type:"0"},
            { id:3, source:3, target:4, type:"0"},
            { id:4, source:2, target:5, type:"2"},
        ]
    };

    gantt.init("gantt_here");
    gantt.parse(tasks);

    gantt.init("gantt_here");
    gantt.parse(demo_tasks);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Solution

  • Found the solution:

    Just changed my gantt settings before calling it

    <script type="text/javascript">
    gantt.config.scale_unit = "year";
    gantt.config.step = 1;
    gantt.config.date_scale = "%Y";
    gantt.config.min_column_width = 30;
    gantt.config.scale_height = 80;
    
    var tasks =  {
        data:[
            {id:1, text:"Project #2", start_date:"01-04-2013", duration:18,order:10,
                progress:0.4, open: true},
            {id:2, text:"Task #1",    start_date:"02-04-2013", duration:8, order:10,
                progress:0.6, parent:1},
            {id:3, text:"Task #2",    start_date:"11-04-2013", duration:8, order:20,
                progress:0.6, parent:1}
        ],
        links:[
            { id:1, source:1, target:2, type:"1"},
            { id:2, source:2, target:3, type:"0"},
            { id:3, source:3, target:4, type:"0"},
            { id:4, source:2, target:5, type:"2"},
        ]
    };
    
    gantt.init("gantt_here");
    gantt.parse(tasks);
    
    </script>
