Hi !
Does anyone of you have the local version running ? For me only the version with the simile servers does work (but in the config it says the local version is used but I see connections been opened on firebug). So I was wondering if someone that has set this up with real local version could append a zip file with the module and the things in the library folder so that I can try it on my test server as the communication with simile server slow down page speed dramatically.

ajzz commentedI have 6.x-2.1 running in production from local code in the libraries folder (BTW:have you installed the libraries API module? not doing so was my initial blooper in the testing phase, which made nothing in sites/all/libraries seem to work)

arnold_mad commentedI have libraries modules installed and it also says that it found a local version but it is not using it. Could you zip your module (including the stuff in libraries) and attatch it here so that I can test it with yours ?

hamish_s commentedArnold,
I am having some problems myself, but, in response to your problem: Please confirm: the Simile server works for you, but just too slowly for you? Make sure it is still working.
Follow the install instructions carefully: The Timeline module goes in the
Make sure you have created a separate folder in (NOTE - it is an underscore, not a dash). Download the newest library files from github. save the unpacked files in a folder called xamanu in the simile_timeline folder. COPY the two folders in xamanu into the main simile_folder, so that there are three folders in : xamanu, timeline_ajax (the size of the unpacked folder is 312 kb), and timeline_js (470 kb). (I do this to ensure that when (not if) my system flops, i can simply copy over new library files - happens monthly).
Now, having confirmed all of that, when you try to use the local server, does the timeline simply not show up? OR, is there a properly spaced open area where the timeline ought to be? That is, does the timeline title show, or is there really nothing? (Because i have a problem - freakily mine is now working in IE (for multi-browser testing only!!), but will not show in Chrome or Firefox (anymore). The timeline is there - i have the title and the proper open space, but no data, colour or anything. I am wondering if it is behind something.
Good luck and pls confirm all the files are where they ought to be.

ajzz commented@arnold_mad: library folder from a working production site is attached. untar it into sites/all/libraries.
module version is stock as noted earlier.
Sometimes there are js conflicts with other modules particularly admin_menu. Try switching off modules or log in to a non-admin account to check if this is the case.
Sometimes deleting the views cache helps. Similarly the browser cache.
Depending on your server & directory permissions configured, you might need to set more liberal access for the simile_timeline folder and contents in sites/all/libraries. Try +rwx temporarily to see if that changes things.
If above don't work, create a new page view with timeline, enable debugging for timeline and take a look at the debug output.
Comment #7
arnold_mad commentedthx got it working - the error was that a variable was set wrong (apperently the code changed it to hosted and not to local). Setting the variable manually to local helped. thx 2 all.
Another thing is that now with 3.x the theme support is broken. Is there a fix for it ?
Comment #8
ajzz commentedpls start new thread for 3.x -- marking this one fixed.
