Talk:Test/Chap Timeline

Example of Timeline Integration

Could be good to do something like: http://discoursedb.org/wiki/2011_United_Nations_recognition_vote_of_Palestinian_state Robin (talk) 10:13, 1 January 2014 (GMT)

Yes, it would. I've got several other sets of timeline data near ready to go too, but waiting to clarify which timeline extension to settle on. The Simile product has been tweeked such that it can now be hard-zoomed between two specified dates. That makes it fairly OK (but not ideal) for the JKF timeline. You can also specify a centering date whereas the original only allowed start,centre, end, today. However, I'm in heavy-duty contact with the Chaps-Timeline author over some enhancements/modifications that would effectively make the Simile product redundant (It is not a maintained extension either) - principally its existing Zoom facility. You can see that in operation here (Just do a hard page-refresh if it doesn't display first time). It has far more potential than the Simile one but needs enhancing for effective use on the data I have in mind. I'll keep you posted --Peter P (talk) 10:28, 1 January 2014 (GMT)

Idea

• Parameters to limit the zooming - I see little benefit in zooming well beyond the range of events (2500AD?, -1000?) so preventing this can only help users. Robin (talk) 16:06, 2 February 2014 (GMT)
