So on the timeline i've got upwards of 15-20 items that all fall on the same spot on the timeline. I'd like to have them all as one unit on the timeline as it's all the same project. I don't know if this makes anymore sense. Instead of having timeline use the "label" to place items can i have it use say another key say something like project. And then if i have projects 1 through 10 and perhaps 5 or 6 items all listed as project 10 timeline will only display project 10 once and when you click on the link for project 10 you get a list of all the items that fall under that category in the timeline bubble. > >> And finally (although only kinda related), if I'm not checking files out >> of SVN and only linking to the APIs can I still have control over the >> CSS or other bits of the code by adding CSS to my own styles?
