Hello,

I found your module today and I really think it is amazing. I just downloaded and installed it.

I have opted to install also simile libraries locally (installed at "sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline/", libraries are within "timeline_ajax" and "timeline_ajax" directories).

But in the "admin/settings/timeline" page, I keep getting "Only simile server available. The timeline library is not installed locally.".

Have I missed something? I would appreciate any helps.

Thank You again for your good work.

Happy new year!

UPDATED

I found the reason reading the online documentation on "Timeline" module here: http://drupal.org/node/561558 .

So, in order to have simile-libraries locally installed, it is necessary to install the "libraries" module.

Sorry to have asked before read all.

Thank You

Closed issue.

But I guess you're just SOL if you have the libraries module installed and still get the message...

Not really. The solution was answered here already:
https://drupal.org/node/1433262#comment-5681092

But to be clear, my system was broken like yours and I'm using the latest available Drupal 6 timeline code available. So Searched the 'net, then I too changed line 159 of timeline.module...

from:
if (file_check_directory($timeline_path)) {

to:
if (is_dir($timeline_path)) {

Looks like it is working, and now that I've written these follow-up notes, please post notes of your own effort. Perhaps you didn't realize the Permissions aspect, but others did and that is where others succeeded and you haven't yet?

This worked for me. INstall the LIbrary module, install timeline widget (js + ajax) in sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline with proper permissions, and change line 159. Now everything runs locally.
