This is a proof of concept module.
It is based on the work of Simile Widgets.

Some examples:
http://www.recovery.gov/?q=content/timeline
http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/tags/latest/src/webapp/examples/monet/monet.html
http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/tags/latest/src/webapp/examples/jfk/jfk.html
http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/tags/latest/src/webapp/examples/test_example2/test_example2.html

I discovered this over at Drupal and thought this would be an excellent addition to xoops. So I put this together. I might take this further and make it into a full fledged XOOPS module.

It uses ajax and javascript to populate the timeline. In my version the api is local.

@Kaotik,

I am going to move this to the new Module Development Testing Forum, if that is ok with you.

I am trying to keep module development in one area in the hope that you guys find it more useful and people will know where to look.

Thanks

Catz

Good idea, will be a very useful module, widening XOOPS use possibilities.
(attaching text + photos to events, etc' ..)

Definitely this module is useful. I used to work at an archive as the IT guy and I know they certainly need a module like this one. So please go ahead and continue its development.

If anyone's looking for a timeline module, this one (using MIT's Timeline) is available.
