Re: [Tiki-devel] Proposal to Replace simile_timeline with vis-timeline in Tiki

Hi Franck

Simile Timeline is indeed very dead but no suitable replacement had been found up to now, although i was hoping we could get h5p to do the job - i did make one custom one for a client (here https://creativeloafing.com/timeline but you need to be logged in to see it, sorry)

I added the basic template to tiki a while ago here

    https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/blob/master/templates/examples/search/h5p.tpl

...but it probably need more (some) documentation ;)

Vis-timeline looks quite promising, thanks!

Wish i had time to play with this stuff more...
