Hi Martin, As already mentioned by me, it is nice and easy to use.
Playing around with it I used: <$visjstimeline filter="[tag[test]]" startDateField="start" endDateField="end" format="YYYYMMDD"/> Then I came across the situation with a timeline starting in the past and still going on (current date). When I did not fill in the endDateField, I got an error: Not a endDate () on ... Looking at the documentation of moment.js I found: To get the current date and time, just call moment() with no parameters. So it looks like it is possible; be aware I am not a programmer ;-) Is there a trick to make the end = current date?
