Hi Warf,

Welcome to Timeline.

Since you posted your url, it was easy for me to spot the problem:

You're referencing
http://www3.telus.net/warfsworld/timeline_js/bundle.js

But nothing is there on your server. Or at least, nothing is being downloaded.

So either you didn't upload the bundle file correctly, or you referred to the 
wrong directory in your settings in your Timeline file.

I made a screencast that shows how to spot the problem using Firebug, the 
debugger for Firefox:
www.sandbox.kluger.com/timeline_firebug

Hope this helps.

Let us know when you get it working, and we'll add your page to the In the Wild 
list of Timeline users.


Thanks,

Larry

Subject: Version 2.2.0 and/or hosting Simile timeline issues


I have been able to setup a timeline on my website (www3.telus.net/
warfsworld/html/travel/travel_timeline.htm) with relative ease
following the documentation provided and using <script src="http://
simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/timeline-api.js" type="text/javascript"></
script> to host it.

I would like to do some customization (not a programmer, just a
hacker)... and it seems there is a lot more flexibility to modify
elements such as bubble size much easier using version 2.0 with
themes.

I have tried both ways to access version 2, and both result in a blank
div box...
1) Allowing MIT or code.google to be the server..
<script src="http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/tags/
2.2.0/src/webapp/api/timeline-api.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api-2.0/timeline-
api.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

2) Using the timeline libraries for 2.2.0 with instructions by Larry
However, even after closely following the instructions in timeline-
api.js, I get the same result with a blank DIV box.

===============================
I know I must have missed something. I have timeline_ajax/  and
timeline_js folders setup off the root directory on my website, should
their parent directories matter if it's defined in the webpage?
<script>
      Timeline_ajax_url="http://www3.telus.net/warfsworld/
timeline_ajax/simile-ajax-api.js";
      Timeline_urlPrefix='http://www3.telus.net/warfsworld/
timeline_js/';
      Timeline_parameters='bundle=true';
      Timeline_parameters='timeline-use-local-resources';
</script>
<script src="http://www3.telus.net/warfsworld/timeline_js/timeline-
api.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
