Hi all,

 

I, of course, completely agree, as said I merely put 2 things together ;-)

The timeline is a great feature, I’m currently working on adding all this information in the same timeline (using groovy), and use it in the homepage:

-          of course, blog news

-          page updates

-          FAQ entries

-          comments on pages

 

The result is not yet perfect, but it’s working quite nicely, using different bullets colors depending on type of item. I still have a problem in Jeremi’s part (XML generation), because it seems that most recent entry in RSS is not taken into account in generated XML, and I really don’t understand why (it’s a for $entry in $entries with xwiki.feed.getFeeds(url), it should retrieve everything !?)

 

Also, when your timeline is “rich” it’s quite unreadable, because newer things go too far in the bottom and don’t display at all. I’m trying to make the timeline automatically “magnify” itselfs for current period of time (+- n hours), so items will be able to show up side-by-side, but I’m still failing to do it. 

 

The timeplot also seems very cool ;-) Only problem (for both timeline & timeplot) is that if it’s rich it can take long to show up … But it’s a very nice and synthetic display.

 

Regards,

Jeremie


Hi,

I've been trying to understand why the <iframe> trick is needed. Just to help to follow this issue... http://simile.mit.edu/issues/browse/TIMELINE-24

But I am still far from being able to contribute with an useful page about the use Timeline within XWiki. I am not even able to feed a sample Timeline with any thing different than the Jeremi's example at http://www.jeremi.info/index.php/feed/rss2!

Please, Jeremi, could you provide some example about how to feed the timeline simply with xwiki blog news?

Thank you so much,

Ricardo
