Hi David,
This is a problem that I was experiencing myself until yesterday. I
am serving the files locally (not running off the Simile distro) and
I changed the following function:
Timeline.GregorianDateLabeller.prototype.defaultLabelInterval
in the labellers.js file so that the case statement for month added
one more to the labelInterval call. I'll admit that I looked at the
labelInterval function to try to fix the problem at its root, but I
was sure what else I would break messing around with it.
In my case, I also added a call to
Timeline.GregorianDateLabeller.getMonthName
and prepended this to my result so that my band displays the month
and year (Jan 2007 for example). So, here's how my case statemnt
looks now:
case Timeline.DateTime.MONTH:
var m = date.getUTCMonth();
if (m == 0) {
text = Timeline.GregorianDateLabeller.getMonthName(m,
this._locale) + " " + (this.labelInterval(date,
Timeline.DateTime.YEAR).text + 1);
emphasized = true;
} else {
text = Timeline.GregorianDateLabeller.getMonthName(m,
this._locale);
}
break;
I'm sure that my fix is pretty much a hack and that David will come
up with a better solution though!
