You are a life saver! I am using the timeline bundled version 2.3.0 so I
had to find the bit of code in timeline-bundle.js.
I replaced the line:
case SimileAjax.DateTime.HOUR:D=B.getUTCHours()+"hr";
With:
case SimileAjax.DateTime.HOUR:
var hours = B.getUTCHours();
text = (hours == 0 ? 12 : hours); // 0h is actually 12am
text = text < 13 ? text : text - 12; // switch to 12hr time display
text = hours < 12 ? text + "am": text + "pm"; // set am / pm as
appropriate
D=text;
break;
and it works perfectly! Thanks for your help.

Javascript makes overriding/monkey patching pretty easy.
I prefer to keep the Timeline code as distributed, and load in my
overrides as necessary. Makes it easier to maintain and update.
With Timeline 2.3.1, from
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/source/browse/timeline/tags/2.3.1/timeline_source.zip
Look at the function
Timeline.GregorianDateLabeller.prototype.defaultLabelInterval in the
file timeline_2.3.1/src/webapp/api/scripts/labellers.js
You want to override the case when the time interval is
SimileAjax.DateTime.HOUR.
One option is to copy the entire function, and make my changes in the
copy, and load it after timeline-api.js has been loaded.
Try this to replace the hour formatting code:
case SimileAjax.DateTime.HOUR:
var hours = date.getUTCHours();
text = (hours == 0 ? 12 : hours); // 0h is actually 12am
text = text < 13 ? text : text - 12; // switch to 12hr time
display
text = hours < 12 ? text + "am": text + "pm"; // set am / pm
as appropriate
break;

Greeting all, I have succesfully installed and am using the timeline.
I am using it for the span of 1 day and what I need to do is to
display the timeline so it shows am and pm instead of "hr" so 14h
would read 2pm. Looking deep into the code I only see it taking the
number and appending a "hr" to the end of it.
What I would like to know is if anyone has created a patch to
implement this. I'm not to strong when it comes to javascript so i'm
uncertain how to accomplish this myself. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Brian
