Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

Overview

This module implements a Views 2 Style Plugin which provides integration with the Timeline component of the CHAP Links Library.

Most of the other Timeline/Google Visualization modules I've run across (esp for D6) don't readily support a Timeline component, or they rely on the Simile framework, which doesn't (seem to) do quite what I want. The Grouping features and overall simplicity of the CHAP Timeline component is its benefit for me, as the items I want to list are mostly concentrated around a few key "timeframes" rather than telling a time-detailed historical story.

At any rate, feedback and patches are always welcome, and eventually I'll be motivated to patch this up to D7 as well.

Features

  • Displays a View as an interactive javascript Timeline

Requirements

Current Status

The code is very rough, as I've never built a views plugin before, but it's getting there.

TODO

  • Implement full date handling
  • Complete options handling to allow for configuration of the Timeline from within the Views admin UI.
