It will be cool if you could implement the date range function. For example, if you set the date range 2011-2012, it will produce the line instead of a single point
I will have that in mind, thanks.
download free this month, don’t know if i can get support from you?
if yes, pls kindly help to let me know how make it work with wordpress.
i have read your doc but stilldon’t get it. newbie here.
Hello,
I have downloaded this and tried to get your demo working but your demo of the modern skin does not work. I have not edited it AT ALL I have just extracted all of the files and opened up the index_modern.html in my browser and the time line works. this is the only demo file you have provided that works from xml as the other demo’s all work off of HTML. please can you provide a working XML demo? Thank you!
The xml demo needs a web server to run. Either open it from localhost or upload it to a server.
Thank you for your response. Just another question quickly, How would I go about having multiple events on a single date but all under one ‘dot’ on the actual timeline?
Thanks
The plugin can’t do that, sorry 
Congrats on the File of the Month!!!
Can this be integrated into WordPress?
Hello, i’m so beginer, sorry. Can you show a code where the page use the xml? Because nowhere is a description, how and what must to delete in the html and how integrate the xml file. Thanks Botor
You need to upload the project to a web server in order to use xml, maybe that’s the issue.
Hello, interesting script and clean appearance. I like it!
Some questions and thoughts:
- Vertical display possible? Maybe a longer timeline should display vertically (comparable to Facebook style)
- Images possible? Maybe any thing supported by XML, right?
- Clipping? Possible to set a min/max date, which is viewable. Something like a date-range window, that shows only a certain area. Many entries or long timeframes are hard to read, IMHO.
Thanks for listening.
Hi,
it’s possible optimize for mobile and tablet?
I’m not planning to make any changes soon. Otherwise, yes, it’s possible
There are two issues i see in this, 1. the first popup goes below the object i think its z-index issue. 2. i use it for one year it shows first month from Feb so why last month is Dec .. technically it has to be Nov … how to fix that .. please advice.
1. Yes, it’s a z-index issue. Easy to fix, no worries.
2. Technically the last month should be Dec The months start from Feb because there is no space for Jan, it would be where the first year is.
This is a nightmare. Thanks God i’ve got this for free as the free file of the month…The documentation is the most messed up thing i’ve ever seen: instructions on the help file assume things that only the author knows. following the instructions, xml and timeline don’t show up at all. Then you look at the demo and there are a bunch of JS and libraries which are not mentioned at all in the documentation. The support page from the author gives no help at all. After 4 hours of banging my head, i’ve given up and i’m going to purchase a different script.
I’m sorry, but if you are purchasing a jQuery plugin you should have some basic knowledge of using jQuery plugins. The libraries in the demo are not mentioned in the documentation because they are not part of the plugin and they are not needed by the plugin.
Your documentation refers to timeline-html-wrap in the html method div and then to timeline-wrap in the html calling method. If you put a demo in the zip, people will look at the demo and they will discover thatthe demo is built in a completely different way from the one you suggest in your documentation. I have basic knowledge of using a jquery plugin: i don’t have basic knowledge of how to use yours and i expect it to be explained easy and straightforward. You have put a bunch of useless not necessary files in the zip both in the main dir (what is timelinexml.min.js for if it’s not mentioned in the installation?) and in a dir called DEMO. That demo is a demo for a different thing and just creates confusion. Just saying. Then it’s up to you to take criticism in a constructive way or to ignore it all together, of course.
How do you set up the timeline for only one year?
Hi, can the event pop-up shown above the timeline? I mean some above, some on the bottom
This is an amazing timeline, looks pretty good
Perfect. I designed up a mockup and then went hunting for the right bit of jQuery magic. Your timeline plugin couldn’t fit the design I did any better! It’s spot on.
Got it up and running pretty quick.
Only a couple stumbling blocks: - Being lazy, copying directly from the documentation quite a few of the Quotation marks aren’t properly encoded meaning they copy slanted (proper) quotes into Coda 2 – this simply made them invalid. Easy change, but the code previews in your demo should handle that as it might catch other people out.
- Minor issue with the timeline always being wider than it’s container. Causes slight problems at mobile size – had to change the width to 90% to compensate for the last date being 100px wide and pulled left (I can see why that is that way though).
I future full responsive timeline would be a surefire buy for me.
Otherwise, really perfect. Exactly what I needed today.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Hi All,
I install the plugin, it’s working correctly in FireFox but in IE and Chrome I have a problem, the xml is not generate. I haven’t any data in the <div id="my-timeline" />

Thanks in advance for your help.
I need a timeline script for 1960 to today. Is this range too much for his timeline. Does the timeline slide/ scroll? I don’t want all my data squeezed together Thanks
The marks on the timeline will never be squeezed. You can have a time span of 10000 years and they will still not be bunched together. The script will show every 1000 years for example. In your case, maybe every 5 years.
However, the number of events that you have on the timeline might make it look bad. For example if the timeline is 500px wide and you have 250 events, that leaves 2px per event and of course they will be squeezed. If you have 25 events they will be nicely spaced out.
About scrolling or sliding – no, it doesn’t support that.
Hello, i’m planning to purchase this.
But have a question! Is it possible to let the dates begin from right to left (direction:rtl)
How to do that?
Nope, that’s not possible, sorry.
The modern skin doesn’t appear! Can you check the file please and tell me to re-download it? Thanks!
Have you read the instructions how to change the skin? It’s the HOWTO .txt file in the skins folder, it’s all written there.
Dear Nickys,
Thank you for the timeline module, its creative. I had some problems while installing it and making it work with xml. Looked in your support forum for similar issues and checked the path and it was correct. After going through your code i realised that there is one condition check in timelinexml.js if (settings.src.length != 0) and changed it to if (settings.src.length == 0) and it worked. Kindly look into it and if its the correct solution, update the file accodringly.
Thanks,
