timeline features

[Joesla]

Greetings!

We've come over a problem that the timeline with all the functionality,
can't really solve - it doest show today graphically. Well of course you
can post current day somewhere near the timeline and let people find same
date on the line, but that is not quite that. The coolest thing would be
to highlite today somehow (like in the attached png).

Another idea was to gray out events that have already passed; i wonder if
any of these two things' possible and how to if yes ;)

Using Drupal to display exibit, timeline api living on our sever; if that
helps ;)

Thanx in advance,
Joe

Hi Exhibit / Simile Users,

In the interest of keeping in step with new and improved versions of
jQuery, I'm planning on making the switch from jQuery 1.2.3 to 1.2.6
in the repository. I have it working on my local checkout, but I
wanted to send out a list of the changes I am planning on checking in
and waiting a few days to hear back from anyone with concerns or
pieces that I've missed. ( I'm new to the development team, and I
don't want to accidentally break everything! )

In the simile-ajax repository (which gets exported to exhibit/src/ajax):

- Replace src/webapp/api/scripts/jquery-1.2.3.js with jquery-1.2.6.js
- Re-generate the simile-ajax-bundle.js
- In the simile-ajax-api.js file swap the reference from jquery-1.2.3
to jquery-1.2.6 on line ~169

Please let me know if I'm missing anything.

Many thanks,

Ted

Hi Ted,

Thanks for your post and work on the sw. A couple of items wrt jQuery
1.2.6

1) The simile-ajax-bundle is also used by Timeline and included in
Timeline (in the zip files) so please checkout the Timeline tree,
update the ajax bundle and rebuild / test the Timeline. -- try out the
examples.

Rebuild Timeline by using the ant command
Check in Timeline and others will test it too.

2) Depending on how you've checked things out, you may need to first
check in the Ajax branch, then update the Exhibit and Timeline
branches, rebuild them, then check them back in.

3) Please, for any checkins, prefix the svn checkin messages with the
name of the project. eg
svn checkin -m "AJAX: updated to jQuery 1.2.6"

svn checkin -m "TIMELINE: updated to new Ajax bundle, includes jQuery
1.2.6"

4) Once the new Ajax and Timeline is checked in, we'll give people an
opportunity to test. I think it will then be time to do another
release since an upgrade of an underlying library is a non-trivial
change.

Thanks very much for your help with these issues.

Regards from NYC,

Larry
