Hi Will,
It's possible to build something like exhibit_timeline_en.js, and indeed
I have thought of it before. I remember wanting to serve "distributions"
at such URLs as this one
http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/api-2.0/dist/exhibit_timeline_en.js
But I never got around to it because there wasn't enough demand. So, you
need to download the Exhibit code base, add an ant target in build.xml,
and build the distribution yourself. Unlike the target that build
exhibit-bundle.js, you need to include
- a distribution of the Simile Ajax API
- a distribution of the Timeline API
- the subset of exhibit-api.js that doesn't do any further script
loading (but does style loading)
- the script files (same as those included in building exhibit-bundle.js)
- the locale files
- the script files of the Timeline Exhibit extension
Careful--as both Timeline and Exhibit needs Simile Ajax, watch out that
Simile Ajax doesn't get included twice in the Exhibit+Timeline
distribution. Let me know if you get it to work.
Cheers,
David
