Timeline does not display

Hi Alex,

Does your browser generate any js errors? For example can you tell if it's able to load the timeline-api.js file? Can you view the json call back directly (it'll look like timeline/json?view=VIEWNAME)? If you've got firebug installed you should be able to try both of these fairly quickly using the 'net' tab.

On 'admin/settings/timeline' there is an advanced settings drop down where you can specify the location of the timeline-api.js which may also be helpful.

Hi. I'm using timeline-6.x-1.x-dev along with views-6.x-2.2 and date-6.x-2.0-rc6. I have created my own event CCK content type using a date field with to/from options, and have populated my site with around 10 dates, each filled with to/from info. I've been getting the same error, and enabled firebug's javascript console and tab options.

The console output says: "Timeline is not defined" and references line 5 of timeline.js: " var theme = Timeline.ClassicTheme.create();"

The net output states it cannot find the timeline-api.js file, but when I checked where it was looking (sites/all/modules/timeline/api/timeline-api.js), I found the folder didn't exist.

I then changed the Widget URL in the admin page (admin/settings/timeline > Advanced settings) to http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/timeline-api.js. This corrects the problems of Drupal not finding the api js files.

Unfortunately, this doesn't correct the problem. What now happens is that no timeline appears and this error appears:

@jmiccolis did we ever get the date2 api patch applied to 6 branch?

#280038: Support Date 2

I don't believe we did. Thanks for putting this back on my radar. Let me see if I can squeeze in a quick look at it in the next couple days.

Watching this

@wayfarer_boy Does this SQL error happen when you switch to a list view of the same content? I've got a similarly setup site and I can't reproduce the error.

If you get the same issue on a list timeline this is probably a views issue. If the SQL error goes away however can you post a step-by-step guide to reproduce the what you're seeing? Thanks.
