Hi Walt, i am no expert but i will tell you what i know :)
so there is this date picker plugin http://kixam.github.io/TW5-datePicker/ whatever date values you choose will populate in their respective fields in the tidly wiki format, which in turn should reflect properly in the timline [image: datepicker.PNG][image: datepicker2.PNG] for the red Icon ,If have you clicked on it , it should have opened a tiddler detailing the errors , what are the errors you are getting ? For the UI bit i think you need to add the plugin view to the side bar, so whatever tiddler your time line is currently displayed in, just add this this tag to it " $:/tags/SideBar" . the verticality is coming from tags ,or at least mine behaves this way, so first row has all tiddlers tagged with "tag1", second row all tiddlers tagged with "tag 2", and so on . so you basically need a start date and and end date for the horizontal aspect of the time line , and tags , for the vertical aspect of the plugin <$visjstimeline persistent endDateField="enddate"startDateField="startdate" *groupTags="[[tag 1]]" *navpad tipFormat="YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm"> group tags is what governs the data populated from the top down , you need to add tag values there , then tag you tiddlers to show on the time line On Friday, May 28, 2021 at 5:06:00 PM UTC+2 ludwa6 wrote: > Good to hear @Mohammed that you have solved it, as i am struggling w/ this > one myself.
