I presume you are generating the JSON on the fly? In that case you can
add a color property to selective events.
{ 'start' : ...,
'title' : ...,
'description' : ...,
'color' : 'red'
}
You can also use a hex color code like #ffffff.
If you have a static JSON file, then you can do a little processing
before loading it into timeline, e.g.
tl.loadJSON("cubism.js", function(json, url) {
var events = json.events;
for (var i = 0; i < events.length; i++) {
var evt = events[i];
if (evt.status == "In Progress") {
evt.color = "orange";
} else {
evt.color = "Shipped";
}
}
eventSource.loadJSON(json, url);
});
Hope that helps,
David
