-The eventline plugin integrates the [[http://simile.mit.edu/|MIT Simile Project]] Timeline with dokuwiki.  This provides the ability to add an interactive timeline to a wiki page.  Wiki users can edit timeline data for adding events.  A timeline event can have a bubble popup with description, an image and an external link.

 This is a modification of the tline plugin by Dan Kreiser.  I wanted to remove the javascript from the user interface and make changes to the user API.

Once you have modified the .htaccess file you can remove the /data folder from the plugin folder.

 ===== Examples/Usage =====

+An example using some of the updates from 03/2013 such as a hotzone, colored icons, and html can be seen here [[http://www.buildmyniche.com/doku.php?id=products:promo|Road to the Big Game]]. FIXME The hotzone is in August where the timeframe goes from month to weeks to allow more events.
 This plugin requires the following minimum syntax.

 Return to your timeline page and upon clearing the cache the timeline should now be populated with the data. The timeline should be able to be scrolled, events selected for display and the filtering/highlighting selectors can be used to focus on any words used in the events.
+**Update**: The update on **June 01 2013** added the ability to create a timeline in french. To do this add the following keyword to the page that contains the timeline data. You would need the [[Keywords]] plugin to do that.
+<code>
+{{keywords>eventline_fr}}
+</code>
+In addition when using french you must use double quotes when specifying event parameters and use single quotes when quoting anything in the description. Here is an example of an event listed in french
+<code>
+<event start="April 1 2011" end="May 30 2011" latestStart="April 15 2011" earliestEnd="May 15 2011" durationEvent="true" title=" Les protestations s'intensifient "> Les protestations s'intensifient et des sanctions sont imposées.

-All parameter defaults can be changed by modifying the /eventline/conf/default.php file.
+A hotzone can be specified. A hotzone is a place in the timeline that would focus in to a smaller time interval for that zone. This allows you to avoid crowding the timeline for an interval in which a lot of events would occur. You need to specify the start and end date of the hotzone, the time unit to use in the hotzone and the magnification size. For example a magnification of 2 would double the interval size. You can specify up to three hotzones by adding the parameters with a 2 or 3 at the end for the others. You do not need to specify hotzones that you are not using they will default to null.
+:!: The following html feature does not work on dokuwiki versions after Adora Belle.
+//The plugin allows limited use of html in your timeline data page. The user can specify the event description using dokuwiki syntax or some html.  Currently not all dokuwiki syntax will work. It has been tested for the following dokuwiki syntax//
+  * new lines,
+  * links,
+  * bold and italics,
+  * and sup and sub html tags
+Colored bubble pings were added in the 3/2013 update. These can now be referred to in the data file using the icon parameter. An example would be //icon='dark-green-circle.png'//. See simile documentation at [[http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_EventSources|Simile Event Attributes]]
+All parameter defaults can be changed by modifying the ''/eventline/conf/default.php'' file.

+  - When using a dash (or minus sign, -) this can cause an odd special character in the xml file if the wrong dash/minus sign is used. This will cause the timeline not to processs and show blank. Not sure what the bad symbol is but by retyping a dash it can clear the error.

+==== Xml syntax ====
+There is a bug when dokuwiki "typography" setting is set to 1 or 2 : XML syntax is broken.
+Another problem with XML syntax : xml comments in events file are transformed and break the render because of spaces added inside xml comment tag. \\
