Thanks @mohamed for the good explainer; given that help, i got it working now as was probably intended -except maybe for one thing: That red error icon is now when clicked returning me a list of ALL tiddlers that don't include both a start date and an end date, which renders this plugin suitable only for a site wherein you want every tiddler to have a corresponding plot on the Gantt chart. Is this the way it's supposed to work?
In my case: i only want to plot those tiddlers that are related to some certain project(s) -but of course there are other tiddlers in the wiki that don't include the datepicker widget, because they are not related to project timeline(s). How can i keep all these other tiddlers from triggering the error flag, i wonder? ps: While searching for other solutions, via this post from @PMario <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywikidev/c/oh1TQDNViBQ/m/dp4Lafj3EAAJ> on the dev list, i came upon this "Open Source Javascript Gantt <https://frappe.io/gantt>" library that delivers *exactly* what i would love to have in such a utility and nothing more: draggable timelines & timescales, click for more info, with the ability to link timelines via dependencies. Give that one a try -last link points to an interactive demo page- and tell me: wouldn't that make for a superior timeline plugin? /walt On Sunday, May 30, 2021 at 10:20:09 PM UTC+1 mohamed...@hotmail.com wrote: > Hi Walt, > > i am no expert but i will tell you what i know :) > > so there is this date picker plugin > http://kixam.github.io/TW5-datePicker/ > whatever date values you choose will populate in their respective fields > in the tidly wiki format, which in turn should reflect properly in the > timline > > > > > [image: datepicker.PNG][image: datepicker2.PNG] > > > for the red Icon ,If have you clicked on it , it should have opened a > tiddler detailing the errors , what are the errors you are getting ? > > > For the UI bit i think you need to add the plugin view to the side bar, so > whatever tiddler your time line is currently displayed in, just add this > this tag to it " $:/tags/SideBar" . > > the verticality is coming from tags ,or at least mine behaves this way, > so first row has all tiddlers tagged with "tag1", second row all tiddlers > tagged with "tag 2", and so on . > > so you basically need a start date and and end date for the horizontal > aspect of the time line , and tags , for the vertical aspect of the plugin > > <$visjstimeline persistent > endDateField="enddate"startDateField="startdate" *groupTags="[[tag 1]]" > *navpad > tipFormat="YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm"> > > group tags is what governs the data populated from the top down , you need > to add tag values there , then tag you tiddlers to show on the time line > > On Friday, May 28, 2021 at 5:06:00 PM UTC+2 ludwa6 wrote: > >> Good to hear @Mohammed that you have solved it, as i am struggling w/ >> this one myself.
