Dan, After a little help from Google, I found out that createStoryJS is a method of TimelineJS, by Verite. See http://timeline.verite.co
This timeline is not based on the Simile-Widgets Timeline, which means this is the wrong place to ask your question. You should be posting your questions on their Google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/verite-timeline Good luck. VeriteCo's TimelineJS looks interesting, and might provide additional ideas for improving Simile Timeline in the future. I'll have to check it out. My original reply is still relevant for users of Simile Timeline. --Mike From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2013 7:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Simile-Widgets] Re: Set default position and range of timeline 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.
