Can't use node: post date as start date for timeline

Unfortunately I can't rebuild your error. Which versions of drupal and its modules are you using?

Make sure that you are using fields and not nodes as the row style and empty your Drupal cache once, please.

It should work with cck date fields as well as with node: post and node: updated.

What versions of drupal and modules are you using?
Have you selected these as fields in your view?

Please check the documentation.

I can not rebuild this bug. I need more information on this in order to fix it!

Closing because no information is getting provided. Please reopen if necessary.

I'm getting exactly same issue with:

Timeline 6.x-2.x-dev (also with 6.x.2.1)
Drupal 6.15 (OpenAtrium beta6 installation profile)

When I try to edit the default timeline view, the "start" select field is empty and "node post date" could not be selected.

Please, let me know what info do you need as feedback.

Sorry, I missed to change the status.

Please, let me know if you need more information or more testing.

I change the priority to critical as far as this limitation don't let you create timelines based on:

- User's creation/update.
- Node creation/update.

And timeline is reduced to cck date fields (events or so).

Thanks in advance your your help,

I have the same problem, bur it seems that the problem was related to the fact, that I was embedding my block in Quick Tabs. After removing it, everything was fine

The problem is the Open Atrium views date handlers.

The current standard view is broken. Sorry, this happened due some minor changes. Please visit the view settings page of the standard view provided by the timeline module. Check the settings and save it. Then it should work well. Next release will fix this.

There shouldn't be any problems on the newest 6.x-3.x-dev version anymore.

Hi,

I'm trying to setup the Timeline module in Drupal 7.
In the Timeline setting I need to indicate the Title field, Start and End fields.
The title field can be selected, but the selection box of the start and end fields remain empty (-)

Any ideas why this can't be selected ?

thx in advance !

Try with date ISO... work for me...

Pls. don't open/highjack old issues. Open a new one if your issue is still unresolved.

I found the bug in Drupal 6 3.x dev version. The post date handler name probably have changed due to updates in Views.

To fix this simply edit timeline/plugins/date_sources/post_date.inc and change

'handler_name' => 'views_handler_field_date',

to

'handler_name' => 'reldate_handler_field_date',

I don't know how to make a patch for that...

Sure about this? To me is reldate_handler_field_date this coming from https://drupal.org/project/reldate

I didn't know where this handler came from, but it just works. I tried once more with views_handler_field_date and my views are displayed correctly, but I can't edit them. The post date field is not available to chose in the views style options.

I have no idea why the rel date handler works... I'm not very knowledgeable in Drupal. Maybe the problem lies at the views style config code, but I'm afraid I can't debug that.

Can you confirm you have https://drupal.org/project/reldate module installed?

Ok, I see now. The reldate module was messing with the date views handler. I uninstalled it and put back the views handler, so now timeline works with the post date out of the box.
