Here is my first version of the "photo timeline": http://picurl.org/frontend/picurl-timeline/
I'm content with this initial result, however there are some issues that need to be handled: - only about 50 of my 73 photos are visible on the timeline. the other pictures are hidden in the vertical overflow of the timeband. This is because the photos were taken in a close timespan (2h). How can I enforce a vertical scrollbar in a timeband? (I'm using pre2.3.0) - another option would be to "group" all pictures taken within x minutes into a non-instant event and show only the first picture as event icon. For all other pictures in the event, i could use the tiny dot icon on the event bar. any other suggestions? regards, Franz P.S. Sorry for using your layout on my demo page - will change that within the next update.
