Everyone - I'm grateful to the builders and supporters of Simile Exhibit. I've just released a website using Exhibit 2.2 to make an overview of Whitehouse.gov petitions much more interactive.
I'm a first-time Exhibiter, and it mostly went quite smoothly. The big learnings along the way: 1. how to set fields to particular value types, so that ex:formats can kick in (inferred from http://simile-widgets.org/wiki/Exhibit/Template_JSON_Data_File) 2. a hack to tweak display of date fields when they're used for grouping (see javascript below), building off ex:onshow 3. Using the "Facet Selections" capability to "bookmark" particularly facet settings. Big fun, thanks. Chris Berendes @citizentools PS. the site: http://wethepeople.govopener.net PPS. the javascript hack to reformat date headings for grouping: function massage_ymd(yyyy_mm_dd) { if (-1 === yyyy_mm_dd.search(/\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d/)) {return yyyy_mm_dd;} var components = yyyy_mm_dd.substring(0,10).split('-'); var year = components.shift(); if ('2012'!== year) {components = components.concat([year]);} return components.join('/'); } function reformat_group_dates() { $(".exhibit-collectionView-group").children ("h1, h2, h3, h4, h5").each ( function(i,e) { e.innerHTML = massage_ymd(e.innerHTML); } ); } /*requires Jquery, but that's included with Simile Exhibit anyway */ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
