Hi Ricardo,
In first instance I copied the sample (the
timeline) in a WIKI page, but of course as in the sample are defined <html>,
<head> and <body> tags, it could not work. In a wiki page we
already are inside the <body> tag, and the browser does not like
redefining such tags very much.
I then tried the trick from the
TIMELINE-24 issue also, but it failed to work. I don’t know if I left
this “patch” on the page, because my wiki is currently broken …
:/ It removed the URL prefiks issue, but nothing was displayed.
So the trick was to have a page
WikiDev.TimeLine, with the sample, another page WikiDev.TimeLineFeed with the
sample script to generate the XML (it works well, I only added new things
inside it). Basically the timeline feed page generates XML with a root
<data> tag, and a number of <event> tags inside, with a date (“sta
Then, in the page where I want to show the
timeline, I added a <iframe>, with “src” equals URL of
WikiDev.TimeLine. Also had to give it a height and width for proper display. Inside
the <iframe> it’s like in another page, so there is no problem of
<head> or <body> tags anymore. The WikiDev.TimeLine page does not
show up (you get the URL prefiks error), but the <iframe> in the other
page should display correctly.
Hope this helps …
Regards,

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 pa
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.

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
