Good point. You know, I read that page and it just didn't hit me. Thanks.
Basically, I'm using Exhibit but want more control over the Timeline view. Using ex:configuration="timelineConfig", I can essentially create and modify my Timeline view just like I would in the Timeline standalone widget. Exhibit is critical for me because of the facet filtering..., and the map doesn't hurt either! The problem came in when I was trying to import data feeds into timeline bands with custom eventSources. I was trying to use the same feeds as I was for Exhibit. - John ************************************************** John Callahan Geospatial Application Developer Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware 227 Academy St, Newark DE 19716-7501 Tel: (302) 831-3584 Email: [email protected] http://www.dgs.udel.edu ************************************************** Jon Crump wrote: > John, > > Perhaps I'm missing something about what you're trying here, but my > understanding is that the json object that Timeline expects is quite > different from that for Exhibit. it's described at > http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_EventSources. > > like this: > { > 'wiki-url':"http://simile.mit.edu/shelf/";, > 'wiki-section':"Simile JFK Timeline", > 'dateTimeFormat': 'Gregorian', > 'events': [ > { > 'start':"Sat May 20 1961 00:00:00 GMT-0600", > 'title':"'Bay of Pigs' Invasion", > 'durationEvent':false // Notes: not "false".
