Data adapter, changing URL?

[jondecker76Member]

I have made a script which expects a parameter describing what dataset should be returned, and returns the data in JSON format:

I.e. trenddata.php?units= day, trenddata.php?units=week, trenddata.php?units=month
Note that each “units” type returns a different number of data results.

The script works fine when run from directly from the browser.

Now what I’m trying to do, is when a certain button from a buttongroup is pressed, is change the source.url appropriately, and refresh the data for the chart to display accordingly. i display an alert that shows that the source.url changed as it should, but the chart does not change… See code:

$('#buttonsTrend').on('buttonclick', function (event) {
                    var clickedButton = event.args.button;
                    //$("#eventsLog").text("Clicked: " + clickedButton[0].id);
                    
		
			source.url="trenddata.php?units="+clickedButton[0].id;
		alert(source.url);
		source.localdata = generateData(),
                dataAdapter.dataBind();
});

any idea on how to get this to work as expected?

thanks

Disregard, I was able to get this to work finally. Here is what I did:

			// Change trend depending on which button was clicked                
			$('#buttonsTrend').on('buttonclick', function (event) {
				var clickedButton = event.args.button;
				source.url="trenddata.php?units="+clickedButton[0].id;
				var dataAdapter= new $.jqx.dataAdapter(source);
				$('#trendDash').jqxChart({source: dataAdapter});
				$('#trendDash').jqxChart({description: "Last "+clickedButton[0].id});
			});
