WP SIMILE Timeline

Descripción

This plugin integrates the SIMILE Timeline into WordPress and provides an option interface for the various timeline settings.
Developed by SIMILE Labs, the Timeline is a web widget for visualizing temporal data.

Features:

  • Include individual categories to be displayed in the timeline
  • Build a lifestream timeline with RSS feeds from your WordPress link archive
  • Customize colors for timeline bands and categories
  • Supports multiple instances on different pages by using a template tag
  • Display individual icons or images with custom fields
  • Display image attachments from posts in the timeline
  • Comes with English, German, Italian and Spanish language files

Thanks to:

  • SIMILE Project for providing the Timeline script API and releasing useful, semantic applications.
  • John Lim of PHP Everywhere for creating the ADOdb Date Library, making date formatting with dates before 1970 a charm.
  • Gianni Diurno for the Italian translations.
  • Marcis G. for the Belorussian translation

Documentation

To include the Timeline in a page or post, you can use a PHP template tag or WordPress shortcode:

  • [similetimeline]
  • <?php stl_simile_timeline(); ?>

Preguntas frecuentes

General problem solving

  • If you encounter JavaScript alert dialogs/popups, the timeline has initialization or parsing problems. These error messages are triggered inside the SIMILE API and cannot be controlled by the plugin author.
    For support in this direction I recommend the SIMILE Google Group and the SIMILE Wiki.
  • Most basic problems have been discussed and mostly fixed in the blog comments.
  • http://groups.google.com/group/wp-simile-timeline is the official discussion group of this plugin which replaces the blog comment support since 21-03-2009.

The timeline does not show up in my page or post

  • Make sure you have the shortcode [similetimeline] included or <?php stl_simile_timeline(); ?> set up in your page or post.
  • Make sure the page-ID setting for the timeline is either 0 (zero) or an individual post ID. This option sets whether the neccessary JavaScript is loaded in the <head> section of your HTML.
  • Try to clean your browser cache and then refresh the timeline page. Since the widget uses loads of JavaScript, changed settings often take a while until they replace the cached version.
  • Make sure that you have included the wp_head() function in your template header file. Otherwise the required JavaScript library by SIMILE will not be loaded.

The timeline does not show any posts

  • The content for the timeline is retrieved inside the XML file /wp-content/plugins/wp-simile-timeline/data/timeline.xml.php. Try to
    call that file directly to see if posts show up there.
  • When the XML file shows posts and seems valid, try to clean your browser cache and refresh the timeline page.
  • Make sure you have checked at least one category to be timelined on the settings page and that there are public posts in that category.

There are no titles showing in the timeline

  • Please check if you have marked the checkbox Show labels for the desired band.
  • Try to clean your browser cache and then refresh the timeline page. Since the widget uses loads of JavaScript, changed settings often take a while until they replace the cached version.
