Hi,
I am trying to get the Timelines plugin to work for my project. The problem is, that my novel is set in the time of the early Roman empire, so I need my timeline to be able
to display events from around 40 BC to 20 AD. Is there any way to enter dates before the year 0? Also, even for the first 100 years AD it does not work. When my datestring starts with two leading zeros, it always interprets it as 19.. So when I enter a date like
00090917 (which would be the date of the battle in the Teutoburg forest), the timeline wiki renders it as 1909. For the year 0109 it works correctly.
Are there any solutions for this? If the date format itself does not allow the dates to be BC, is there a way to use current dates (like, set everything 2000 years in the future) in the date field so that the macro knows how to space and order them and then display a text string with the correct date from another field in the view instead?
Thanks,
Jutta
