Color coding based on taxonomy or content type

Issue Summary

This may be difficult to implement, but it would be wonderful if you could color-code items on the timeline based on taxonomy. In addition, different content types could be represented with different colors (based simply on node-type-- this could already be in place but I didn't see documentation for it). Maybe these options could be configured separately within the settings for each timeline.

Title:Color coding» Color coding based on taxonomy or content type

Chad, this could indeed be a useful feature. Unfortunately, I don't personally have the possibility to tackle it in the foreseeable future - perhaps one of the other developers could be interested? Leaving this open, patches welcome.

Note that it could make sense to implement #104890 and this at the same time, given that different content types might be represented by different icons.

I've roughed a patch that implements this feature. The patch is kinda hackish and needs improvement.

To test this you need to:

  1. Add an additional field to the view you want to 'group' events by, e.g. 'Node: Type', 'Taxonomy: All Terms' or 'Og: Group names'.
  2. Go to the timeline settings page and choose the field you want to 'group' events by. There is a new section 'Group by'.

Currently colors are limited to 16.

Ideas to improve the patch are welcome :)

I've tested the patch by recidive and it works well. Very, very useful feature - recommend to commit it as soon as possible.

This is great!
Does somebody know how to use different bullets for "instant" events? I want them to look similar to events with different start/end date.

Any chance of getting this committed? This looks great. Any problems with the patch?

Thank you for the patch. It works well for me !

Is it possible to attach one color with one term, and then make a legend ?

Would be nice if someone could implement the same functionality for drupal 6 version.

The calendar module for views does this color coding and legend thing already, may be that would provide an easy method?

This feature has been added to the 2.x version of the timeline module by using views "group by" option.
