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 Guillaume,
I think that to have timeline working here will be of major interest for our group. So, let me try to generalize its usefulness. I think that the reference given by Jeremi in the original entry (http://www.jeremi.info/index.php/post/2006/11/28/Simile-Timeline) plus the <iframe> trick in his second message solve the issue. If Jeremie agrees, I will try to understand the whole thing and create ASAP an ad hoc page.
> Great, I'm sure both Jeremi and Jeremie will be ok (I'm seeing
Jeremi on Wednesday, I'll check with him just in case)
Has any of you tested Simile Timeline's sister project Timeplot (
http://simile.mit.edu/timeplot/) ?
Apparently it uses the same xml
format for its data files, I thought it might be used to generate statistics
from a wiki use by turning a XWiki Instance own RSS feed into the RSS plugin,
creating the XML and displaying the timeplot. Actually, I might try and do it
as well :-)
