Hi,
I try to get a Timeline extension working. It's similar to the existing
'planning' extension and I basically have copied and modified those files in a
new folder /ext/myextension.
Right now I only try to get the bands and units displayed without any events.
While the bands appear I get stuck with the error:
Error: date.getTime is not a function
Source File: /SimileTimeline/scripts/util/date-time.js
Line: 191
which is triggered by the line
var date2 = new Date(date.getTime() + timeShift);
in the function Timeline.DateTime.roundDownToInterval
As far as I can see this function is called in the file
/SimileTimeline/scripts/ether-painters.js
The error actually occurs also when I try to use the unchanged 'planning' files
instead of 'myextension' files.
I'm rather unsure if the problem might be
a) that this general ether-painters.js file is used as I somehow would have
expected that the special ether-painters.js file in
/SimileTimeline/ext/myextension/scripts/ether-painters.js
would be used instead
b) that the units I use (and also 'planning' if I'm right) are self defined and
not DateTime.(YEAR etc.) (and maybe therfore the 'date' variable isn't of type
Date and so has no getTime function?)
c) something else
I have the following in my <header>:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/SimileTimeline/timeline-api.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/SimileTimeline/ext/myextension/myextension-api.js"></script>
and the timeline is created with
Timeline.create(div, bandInfos, Timeline.HORIZONTAL, myextensionUnit);
Thanks for any hints,
Gu
