[Simile-Widgets] Accessibility for web
Hi! I recently used built an interactive map using SIMILE 2.3 version. http://www.lib.uwaterloo.ca/locations/umd/digital/opendata.html). The application itself is working fine but the webpage can't pass the accessibility test due to some of SIMILE JavaScript doesn't have tag associated. e.g. no tag for search box. Is this issue going to addressed or some kind of plan is there in 3.0 development?

[Simile-Widgets] Web accessibility issue

[Simile-Widgets] Error: Failed to derive URL prefix for Timeline API code files
The Simile Timeline (v. 2.3.1) is hosted on National Science Foundation's website at http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/history-nsf/timeline/. The operating system is Windows XP v .5.1. The error message "Failed to derive prefix for Timeline API code files" pops up when the user clicks a link in a bubble on the timeline in Firefox (15.0.1), Safari (5.1.7) and Chrome (v. 22.0.1229.79), but not in IE 8 or IE 9. I've tried several suggestions on simile-widgets-dev and simile-widgets but no success. All the scripts are in the tags. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] setting range in timeline
There was a similar question a few weeks back. Search, it involved timeline_start and timeline_stop. I can't remember off the top of my head.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Tacking on an image to the beginning/end of a band?
Yes sorry, I meant 'tape.' Sorry for the confusion.

Wait a sec...
Are you referring to the 'tape' that is used to display a duration event?
e.g. the bar that is drawn to show an event with different start and end
dates?
"Band" refers to the section of the timeline in which the events are drawn.
'Tape' refers to the bar drawn for a duration event.
I'm thinking you're referring to the duration tape, and not the overall
Band?
Is that correct?

or should it be in Timeline.create ?
Still trying to understand everything under the hood, so a bit confused.
My eventual goal is to be able to tack on an image (perhaps a jagged edge)
to bands where:
1. Start date is unknown, tack onto beginning band
2. End date is unknown, tack onto end of band
3. Start and end date is unknown, tack onto both ends of band

At the same time, I'd like to integrate it into the color of the band, so
there will be a number of images. The plan is to specify the image as a
parameter within the source json file for each band. I've done something
similar by leveraging 'classname' and using the associated css to decide
band color and a fade gradient at the ends of the band, consistent with
which dates are known and unknown. However, the gradient is a % function of
the length of the band, so it does not always look consistent. I got a bit
closer by specifying the gradient using pixel count, but still not exactly
right:

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Simile Widget Timeline Disable Scroll ( Mousewheel + Drag )
Thanks for the response Mike! That worked.
At first I was using this form for start/stop:
theme.timeline_start = "Jan 1 2000 00:00:00 GMT";
Then switched to this per instructions in the wiki
theme.timeline_start = new Date(Date.UTC(2000,01,01));
Both of which caused the issues I described previously. Should have just
kept it simple :)

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Simile Widget Timeline Disable Scroll ( Mousewheel + Drag )
Yeah same issue here with safari and Firefox. Setting timeline_start alone
allows you scroll forward in time, but not back. Setting timeline_start and
timeline_stop halts scrolling altogether.

[Simile-Widgets] IE8 Caching Issue With Simile Timeline
There is a caching issue in IE8 with links in the National Science
Foundation Timeline at
http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/history-nsf/timeline/index.jsp.
The links in the bubbles and horizontal green lines delineating the
tenure of NSF directors work the first time, but not after that.
Cleaning and refreshing the browser cache doesn’t help. Resetting
compatibility view has no effect.
There is no caching issue in IE7, IE9, FF, Chrome, and Safari.
Javascript debugging yielded the following error message in IE8:
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/
4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR

We tried the following, none, of which, were successful:
1. Add IE7-emulation meta tag to the timeline/index.jsp page just
under opening tag:
2. Generate a Javascript patch generating random URL parameters to
trick the browser into not catching.
var r1=Math.floor(Math.random()*11) ;
var r2 = Math.floor(Math.random()* 100) ;
var r3 = String.fromCharCode(r1)+r2 ;
Timeline.loadJS(
"nsfhistory.js?" + r3,
function(js, url) { eventSource.loadJS(js, url); });
3. Add no-cache and expires http tags
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Simile local installation problems?
I ended up tacking on '?bundle=false' to both the simile-ajax-api.js and
timeline-api.js url, and commented out Timeline_parameters='bundle=false',
which worked.

Paige,

Someone correct my if I'm wrong but within timeline-api.js, the 'bundle'
parameter controls this if statement:
>
if (bundle) {
includeJavascriptFiles(Timeline.urlPrefix, [
"timeline-bundle.js" ]);
includeCssFiles(Timeline.urlPrefix, [ "timeline-bundle.css"]);
} else {
includeJavascriptFiles(Timeline.urlPrefix + "scripts/",
javascriptFiles);
includeCssFiles(Timeline.urlPrefix + "styles/", cssFiles);
}
Setting Timeline_parameters='bundle=true'; will use timeline-bundle.js, a
condensed version of the .js libraries, rather than the ones you modify for
custom units.
This section of timeline-api.js appears to parse the url/js variable
parameters:
var parseURLParameters = function(parameters) {
var params = parameters.split("&");
for (var p = 0; p < params.length; p++) {
var pair = params[p].split("=");
if (pair[0] == "locales") {
desiredLocales = desiredLocales.concat(pair[1
].split(","));
} else if (pair[0] == "defaultLocale") {
defaultServerLocale = pair[1];
} else if (pair[0] == "forceLocale") {
forceLocale = pair[1];
desiredLocales = desiredLocales.concat(pair[1
].split(","));
} else if (pair[0] == "bundle") {
bundle = pair[1] != "false";
}
}
};
My only confusion is since date-time.js also needs to be modified (which
resides in the ajax scripts), will setting 'bundle=true' also trickle into
simile-ajax-api.js, or does another param need to be included? Looks to be
initialized to true:
var SimileAjax = {
loaded: false,
loadingScriptsCount:0,
error: null,
params: { bundle:"true" }
};

[Simile-Widgets] Please, need help for a school project
To the group,
What I would like to do is to be able to map an object to multiple (more
than 1, but could be more than 3 or 4) different sets of longitude and
latitude coordinates. I have been play around with proxy, in Exhibit Map,
but not sure if this is my best solution. Can anyone send me an example
json file and associated code?
thanks
Steve
Steve,
I'd suggest that you email simile-widgets@googlegroups.com, as there are
more people there to help you out. I'm no longer providing technical
support for Simile Exhibit myself.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Creating a vertical bar in the timeline
Michael, another question for you if you don't mind:
I'd like to define start/end time in the form: '2000-01-01' rather than
just year. If I change format in the JSON source file, the timeline appears
to hit an error while trying to parse it. So, I assumed that we needed to
leverage the .parseGregorianDateTime function:
var deco = new Timeline.SpanHighlightDecorator({
startDate : Timeline.DateTime.parseGregorianDateTime(span.start),
endDate : Timeline.DateTime.parseGregorianDateTime(span.end),
startLabel : span.title,
color : span.color
});
However, this does not seem to work either. Is there another parameter I am
missing?

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Creating a vertical bar in the timeline
Thanks for clearing that up Michael. Re-reading the JFK example makes a lot
more sense now.
Do you have any examples I can reference? So if I understand correctly,
within the timeline script I would have something like:
Timeline.SpanHighlightDecorator({
startDate: startDate ,
endDate:endDate
});
Do I then use loadJSON to specify the source file? Sorry, this is all still
very new to me.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Custom Event Tapes
Never mind. Figured it out :) There is an example in 'test_example2'
within the examples section.
If anyone searches this in the future, all you have to do is to create the
gradient you want using the colorzilla generator, then define it in your
.css class like so:
.tape-gradient-blue {
/* paste output from generator here */
}
Then within you JSON or XML data source, define the 'classname' (rather
than 'color') as the name of your css gradient (.tape-gradient-blue in this
case)
{'start':'100','end':'200','title':'blah','description':'foo','link':'blarg',
'classname':'tape-gradient-blue'}

[Simile-Widgets] Timeline: odd behavior when timeline div needs to be scrolled to in IE 8
Hi, I've inherited a system that uses the timeline package to display a timeline. I've been wrestling with a bug in IE 8 where the link in a pop-up bubble cannot be clicked. After a few hours, I've narrowed it down to a specific problem: if the timeline div does not appear on the page originally (in other words, it has to be scrolled to), then the pop-up bubble links do not work. I've put two examples up: - http://steveshaw.ca/samples/TimelinePage.html works for me in IE8 - http://steveshaw.ca/samples/TimelinePageBroken.html does not work in IE 8 These are simplified from the code I'm actually using but demonstrate the problem. The only difference between the pages is the height of the spacer div - in the working example, it's 500px and in the broken example it's 900 px. That's enough on my current setup to force a scroll to see the timeline. When I try to click on the link in the pop-up, nothing happens (except the pop-up disappearing). If I view the broken page with a "tall" screen I don't see the error. Another way to recreate the error is to resize the browser to a smaller screen and load the working page. It no longer works once I scroll to the div containing the timeline. Both pages work as expected in Firefox. Any ideas or suggestions? -Steve p.s. there's no way I would believe this error report without seeing a working example.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Re: Problem getting timeline events onto a timeplot graph as per the tutorial
Hi,
Thanks, but the events were still missing. I've found the issue though
- just a dumb typo. Webdeveloper on Firefox wasn't properly catching
the error (it was saying "invalid 'in' operand F). Anyway, the typo -
instead of:
timeplot.loadXML("events.xml", eventSource2);
I had:
timeplot.loadXML("events.xml", ",", eventSource2);
with the errant "," parameter copied over from the
timeplot.loadText("events.csv", ",", eventSource2); call.
I have the corrected code at:
http://ffatsatina.com/test/test2.html
Annoyingly though, Chrome does not seem to want to use the lineColor
of the event so you have to hover over it to see it. Whereas firefox
does show it.
Chrome (5.0.375.127): http://imagebin.ca/view/fVKvzG.html
Firefox (3.5.11): http://imagebin.ca/view/lQM8jB.html
Many thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Steve

Simile timeline to display radio spectrum
Hi, I'd like to use timeline to create a moveable, zoomable bar representing the radio spectrum, allowing people to see what different parts of the radio spectrum are used for, possibly being able to overlay usage in different countries. The timeline software seems ideal except I want to replace years/ months/days with GHz/KHz/Hz. Is that feasible or is there some other simile widget that would be better suited to this task?

displaying the blue ball for events in Exhibit
to the group, I remember that the blue.png ball would display for certain events (start and end date were equal in timeline view?), but mine do not see to work...any suggestions would help. the second part is can I always make this ball appear and change the color of it based on one of my values that in my json data?

couple of questions

Re: simile.mit.edu down?
As of 8AM PST the map painter is back online. Thanks, much appreciated! I haven't gotten the simple map view extension by Dan Lange working yet but I'll probably be headed in that direction so there aren't any external dependencies. I am hosting Exhibit at this point so getting the map painter working is more or less the last step. -Steve On Dec 19, 4:49 pm, Steve wrote: > Hi David, > If I'm reading things correctly, unfortunately, that's not a generic > solution as it requires specific technology from your ISP which mine > unfortunately, doesn't support. > > I think I'll need to investigate the thread where a client side > painter was posted as that seems like the only viable alternative.

Re: simile.mit.edu down?
Hi David, If I'm reading things correctly, unfortunately, that's not a generic solution as it requires specific technology from your ISP which mine unfortunately, doesn't support. I think I'll need to investigate the thread where a client side painter was posted as that seems like the only viable alternative. The MIT painter URL is still down and has broken the app I've been working on so I need to seek another solution. -Steve On Dec 19, 11:21 am, David Huynh wrote: > Robert Forkel wrote: > > hi, > > i took the opportunity today - simile.mit.edu being down - to get > > exhibit plus timeline and maps extension to run independent of > > simile.mit.edu. > > while the necessary changes in the source code to work around hard > > coded paths were pretty minimal (i have to clean up my code before it > > can serve as a tutorial), the problem with the painter script was > > harder. the map extension call a script running on simile.mit.edu to > > create dynamic map markers on the fly. > > i first replaced that script with a pretty basic python cgi script > > using PIL to create rather primitive markers, but then found the > > javascript here: > >http://gmaps-utility-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mapiconmaker/re... > > which i simply substituted for the Exhibit.MapView._makeIcon function. > > the only thing left to do now is replacing the calls to the painter > > script used for the markers in the map legend. > > regards, > > robert > > In case you still want to use "painter", then you can host it yourself > at some URL and then tell Exhibit to use that service URL: > > http://groups.google.com/group/simile-widgets/browse_thread/thread/84... > <http://groups.google.com/group/simile-widgets/browse_thread/thread/84...> > > David --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.

Re: simile.mit.edu down?
Hi Larry, Yes, I'm using Timeline and Exhibit with the Google Map extension. I've created a Facebook (I know, I know I just find the platform really interesting) application that maps your Facebook friends and displays lots of their profile content in an Exhibit. It's pretty cool means of being able to explore your social network. I've also created another Facebook App that displays your uploaded photos on a Timeline. Both apps are in the earliest stages of development and not currently available on Facebook (yet). I'm not familiar with the "bundling" that's used and perhaps that's the solution to the problem of the hardcoded references to MIT's server, I just don't know at this point. I'll look to post the steps I used to get Exhibit self hosted to my blog as it was pretty straightforward. The only thing not working is the map painter so the map looks pretty dull as none of the data points are plotted. http://www.stevetrefethen.com/blog/ Btw, here are a few posts which were came out of getting a few of these things working: http://www.stevetrefethen.com/blog/FacebookDeveloperToolkitNowSupportsJSONResultsOnFQLQueries.aspx http://www.stevetrefethen.com/blog/UsingGoogleMapsForGeocodingInC.aspx -Steve On Dec 19, 10:45 am, Larry Kluger wrote: > Hi Steve, > > I was wondering if you and the other posters were using Timeline or Exhibit. > (Or one of the other fine Simile libraries.) > > Anyhow, I don't have much knowledge about Exhibit, but David H is an ace > programmer.

Hi Robert, Thanks very much for the reference to that function. It would be really nice to get the default implementation as it has a number of other features.

Re: simile.mit.edu down?
Hi Larry, I agree hosting yourself makes the most sense and I've moved the source to my own server and I'm trying to run an app that uses Exhibit with the Google Maps extension but the problem is there appears to be references to things that aren't provided. For example, the painters (simile.mit.edi/painter...) for the map used in the map extension. I can't seem to find that anywhere, am I simply missing something? Also, the reference to static.simile... is hardcoded throughout the source so there appears to be no easy way to direct it to a server of your own. Having said those things, I understand this is open source thus I don't mind fixing the URL's myself (unfortunately, I don't have time right now to work on a better solution) but the missing piece are pretty crucial. -Steve On Dec 19, 9:54 am, Larry Kluger wrote: > Hi Eric, > > In my humble opinion, you are *far* better off hosting the libraries yourself > rather than depending on an .mit.edu server. > Like, night and day better off. > > The Yahoo folks have studied the issues of people's caches being primed and > the effect is, unfortunately, much less than what would be hoped for. > The odds of one of your clients having a cached version of the Simile > libraries from some other Simile-based page that is not connected to your app > are tiny.

New Exhibit and exhibit-bundle.css
To the group, I recently upgraded to the latest exhibit 2.1, and now get the following errors in my error console for Firefox. Also all of my colors seem modified, can I exclude using this .css file? thanks Steve Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'filter'. Declaration dropped.
