Hi Ricardo,
In first instance I copied the sample (the timeline) in a WIKI page, but of
course as in the sample are defined <html>, <head> and <body> tags, it could
not work. In a wiki page we already are inside the <body> tag, and the browser
does not like redefining such tags very much.
I then tried the trick from the TIMELINE-24 issue also, but it failed to work.
I don't know if I left this "patch" on the page, because my wiki is currently
broken ... :/ It removed the URL prefiks issue, but nothing was displayed.
So the trick was to have a page WikiDev.TimeLine, with the sample, another page
WikiDev.TimeLineFeed with the sample script to generate the XML (it works well,
I only added new things inside it). Basically the timeline feed page generates
XML with a root <data> tag, and a number of <event> tags inside, with a date
("start") and a "description". So it's very easy to generate using any events
as entries. In the WikiDev.TimeLine page you have to put URL of
WikiDev.TimeLineFeed as first parameter of the tl.loadxml() method.
Then, in the page where I want to show the timeline, I added a <iframe>, with
"src" equals URL of WikiDev.TimeLine. Also had to give it a height and width
for proper display. Inside the <iframe> it's like in another page, so there is
no problem of <head> or <body> tags anymore. The WikiDev.TimeLine page does not
show up (you get the URL prefiks error), but the <iframe> in the other page
should display correctly.
Hope this helps ...
Regards,
Jeremie

Hi all,
I, of course, completely agree, as said I merely put 2 things together ;-)
The timeline is a great feature, I'm currently working on adding all this
information in the same timeline (using groovy), and use it in the homepage:
of course, blog news
page updates
FAQ entries
comments on pages
The result is not yet perfect, but it's working quite nicely, using different
bullets colors depending on type of item. I still have a problem in Jeremi's
part (XML generation), because it seems that most recent entry in RSS is not
taken into account in generated XML, and I really don't understand why (it's a
for $entry in $entries with xwiki.feed.getFeeds(url), it should retrieve
everything !?)
Also, when your timeline is "rich" it's quite unreadable, because newer things
go too far in the bottom and don't display at all. I'm trying to make the
timeline automatically "magnify" itselfs for current period of time (+- n
hours), so items will be able to show up side-by-side, but I'm still failing to
do it.
The timeplot also seems very cool ;-) Only problem (for both timeline &
timeplot) is that if it's rich it can take long to show up ... But it's a very
nice and synthetic display.

Jeremie
Hi,
I've been trying to understand why the <iframe> trick is needed. Just to help
to follow this issue... http://simile.mit.edu/issues/browse/TIMELINE-24
But I am still far from being able to contribute with an useful page about the
use Timeline within XWiki. I am not even able to feed a sample Timeline with
any thing different than the Jeremi's example at
http://www.jeremi.info/index.php/feed/rss2!
Please, Jeremi, could you provide some example about how to feed the timeline
simply with xwiki blog news?
Thank you so much,
Ricardo
