How to create a Kendo Scheduler custom view with a majortick of a month?

[David]

I would like to have a Kendo Scheduler of a complete year where a major tick is a month, and a minor tick is half of the month.
I created a custom view representing an year, that's ok but this view represent an year where each majortick is a day due to the majortick that can have only minutes values.

This is the custom view:

(function ($, undefined) {
   var kendo = window.kendo,
       ui = kendo.ui,
       SchedulerTimelineView = ui.TimelineView,
       extend = $.extend,
       NS = ".kendoTimelineYearView";

   var SchedulerTimelineYearView = SchedulerTimelineView.extend({
     nextDate: function() {
       var start = this.startDate();
       return new Date(start.getFullYear()+1, 0, 1);
     },
     previousDate: function() {
       var start = this.startDate();
       return new Date(start.getFullYear()-1, 0, 1);
     },
     calculateDateRange: function() {
       var selectedDate = this.options.date,
           start = new Date(selectedDate.getFullYear(), 0, 1),
           end = kendo.date.previousDay(new Date(selectedDate.getFullYear()+1, 0, 1)),
           dates = [];

       while (start <= end) {
         dates.push(start);
         start = kendo.date.nextDay(start);
         //start = dateAdd(start, 'month', 1);
       }
       this._render(dates);
     }
   })

   //extend UI
   extend(true, ui, {
     SchedulerTimelineYearView: SchedulerTimelineYearView
   });

 })(window.kendo.jQuery);

this are the property of the view in the init:

{
     type: "kendo.ui.SchedulerTimelineYearView",
     title: "Year",
     majorTick: 1440*30, // 30 days but i want exactly a month
     minorTickCount: 2,
     columnWidth: 50
},

How I've already said, I would like to have a scheduler with a complete year where the major tick represent a month and the minortick represent half month(not 30 days but exactly a month).
Is this possible?

Hi David,

I am afraid that the majorTick option configuring the view in the Scheduler could not be more than 1440 minutes (24 hours). That is why the approach you have followed would not allow you to create a Timeline Year view. To do so, you will need to create an entirely new view in the Scheduler. If you need further assistance on that task, I would recommend you our Professional services. That team is focused on providing tailor made solutions as per customer requirements. Let me know if you are interested in cooperating with our colleagues and I will arrange someone from the team to contact you directly.

The problem is not only regarding to the max size of the majortick, but there is also a "unit of measure" problem, indeed I would like to set the majortick not in minutes but in months(that is not always equal to 1440x30)...

That said, the answer to yout question is yes, i would like to cooperate with your colleagues...

Thanks so much

Hello David again,

I would also suggest you to review the Year View of the Gantt widget and check whether that will cover your requirements: https://dojo.telerik.com/IqaJUsoF
