Timeline
Timeline is looking for a new maintainer! If you are interested in helping maintain it please contact me.
Timeline is a DHTML-based AJAXy widget for visualizing temporal information. It works in a similar way as Google Maps but for time-based events.
This Drupal module is based on a JavaScript widget developed by the SIMILE project. Several demo timelines demonstrating the full range of capabilities for this widget are available on the SIMILE project site at:
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/
Currently, the Views module is required to provide the list of nodes to render. This module provides two new plugins for the Views module:
- Timeline Horizontal
- Timeline Vertical
In addition, two default views are provided to get you started quickly:
- timeline_nodes: plots any nodes by their created date
- timeline_events: plots event nodes by their event start and end dates (requires the Event module)
Be sure to read the accompanying README.txt and INSTALL.txt for installation and usage instructions.
Note: if all you need is a timeline of an Atom or RSS feed, you can use the timeline.to service which can provide you with an easily-embeddable HTML snippet for displaying the timeline.
The Drupal 5.x version has support for Date module fields. If you are upgrading from 4.7 there have been some changes to how end dates can be set so you may need to update your views.
This module is maintained by Jeff Miccolis from Development Seed. It was originally created by David Donohue and further developed by Arto Bendiken.
