updateCollection

updates the specified collection with new options

Parameters

collection	string	the name of the collection to update
options	array	the new values of the collection

Returns

boolean

true, if the update was successful; false, if the collection wasn't found

Example

scheduler.config.lightbox.sections=[   
    {name:"description", height:130, map_to:"text", type:"textarea" , focus:true},
    {name:"items", height:23, type:"select", 
    options:scheduler.serverList("goods", goods_array), map_to:"section_id" }, 
    {name:"time", height:72, type:"time", map_to:"auto"}
];

• The method calls the onOptionsLoad event and resets the lightbox.
• The collection can be created with the serverList method.

Examples

Select control

Let's assume that you have the lightbox as in:

scheduler.config.lightbox.sections = [
    { name: "description", ...},
    { name: "sections", type: "select", options: scheduler.serverList("sections"),         map_to: "section_id" },
    { name: "time", ... }
];

With such declaration it would be possible to update options in the select control through the list named 'sections'.
To update the 'sections' list you can use:

scheduler.updateCollection("sections", [
    { key: 5, label: "Section E" },
    { key: 6, label: "Section F" },
    { key: 7, label: "Section G" }
]);

Units view

Let's assume that you have the Units view as in:

scheduler.createUnitsView({
    name: "unit",
    property: "section_id",
    list: scheduler.serverList("sections")  });

To update the list of displayed units you can use:

scheduler.updateCollection("sections", [
    { key: 5, label: "Section E" },
    { key: 6, label: "Section F" },
    { key: 7, label: "Section G" }
]);
