I'm still really struggling with this. I'd be so greatful if anyone can
offer any help.
I've bypassed the issue of focussing the timeline at today's date and
instead have set it to use the last event instead, which is passable for
the client. I've also set the 'start_zoom_adjust' value to 6 which does
zoom somewhat. However, on the timeline itself the zoom in (plus) button
won't zoom any further, and actually I'd like the zoom to default to around
8 or 9 rather than 6, but when I set this it doesn't do anything.
$(document).ready(function() {
createStoryJS({
type: 'timeline',
width: '970',
height: '600',
start_at_slide: '35',
start_zoom_adjust: '6',
source: '/about/timeline-page/TimelineItems',
embed_id: 'my-timeline',
debug: true,
css: '/timelinejs/compiled/css/timeline.css',
js: '/timelinejs/compiled/js/timeline.js'
});
});
Again, I'm really struggling to find documentation (Googling 'simile
timeline start_zoom_adjust' yields just 3 results, none of which are
useful) but I'm coming under a lot of pressure from the client now to get
this finished. If anyone could please help me to understand how to zoom
further than 6 by default, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
