Extension talk:TimelineTable

Example?
Any chance of an example of the output? Even a screenshot would be nice...

Done! --192.44.242.18 06:15, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Days possible?
Is it possible to create a more detailed timeline using days? e.g.

 * I am currently working on it...

 * The new version can display timelines at a day-by-day level.

CSS does not work
I'm using modern skin. I already have copied the CSS sample into mediawiki:common.css. The only output is text - no lines, no color, no table. Any fixes?

 * Copying the CSS sample into the MediaWiki:Common.css seems to work fine on my server MW 1.13.0 (even when using modern skin). Could you paste the content of your MediaWiki:Common.css?

Doesn't work on mediawiki 1.16
So, it shows: Deprecated: Function split is deprecated in ...\extensions\TimeLineTable\timeline.php on line 130

Deprecated: Function split is deprecated in ...\extensions\TimeLineTable\timeline.php on line 138

Deprecated: Function split is deprecated in ...\extensions\TimeLineTable\timeline.php on line 140

Deprecated: Function split is deprecated in ...\extensions\TimeLineTable\timeline.php on line 141

...

And what to do?


 * Sorry for the delay, I'll try to fix this soon...

 * Version 1.6 should fix this.

I love this extension, but when I use anything other than a complete year, month, day, I get "Undefined offset: blah, blah" in the Process months section. Using MediaWiki 1.16.1, PHP 5.2.8, and 1.6 of TimelineTable.php. With the time span I need this is just too much to show on a page.

After I scroll down past all the error messages, I see that the table has in fact been nicely created, then more messages: "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (... blah blah ...TimelineTable.php"


 * I can't seem to reproduce the error, could you paste your


 * The timeline table you provided is generated correctly (with no error) on the two mediawikis I have access to (MediaWiki 1.16.2, PHP 5.3.3-1 and MediaWiki 1.13.0, PHP 5.0.4). What extensions do you have enabled? Maybe switching other extensions off could help locate the problem.

I tried disabling ALL the extensions I have installed but saw no changes in behavior. Puzzling.

 * I just read that this error might be due to spaces (or empty lines) around the  block. Does removing the extra space help?

Thibaultmarin 05:09, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

I did have a couple of empty lines at the end of the file and removed them, but the behavior did not change.


 * Version 1.7 might fix the problem (please let me know if it does).

Thibaultmarin 23:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I have tried V 1.7 with the same sample used above. Now the only thing I get on the screen is "-1". It seems to be choking at "if ( isset($eventStart[1]) )"


 * I uploaded the wrong file, the updated version seems to be working with php error messages enabled. Thanks for your patience.

Any chance for years only?
Is there a chance, or maybe a quick ('n' dirty) fix to show only years? For some timelines the months and day's are too much. (for example: the evolution of the internet)


 * I am currently working on it...

 * Version 1.6 allows use of years only
