Hi Gokubi
Can you suggest me a way through which i can show custom object fields in the timeline….i mean same fields like start,end,title,description,image n link, but instead of giving them dynamically i want to retrieve them through the object like {!TimeLine_Event__c} so how to go about it..?
I have seen the javascript code of Timeline and i need to know where all changes have to be made in order to make it work for a custom Object…
Your effort is appreciated
Thanks.
Great App..

Very nice! I was playing around with the campaign timeline and now found the timeline mashup in Appexchange. Very handy – I will bringt it to our production system.

But, is there a way to insert highlight areas (e.g. for vacation periods and similar)? Just adding
bandInfos[0].decorators = [
new Timeline.SpanHighlightDecorator({
startDate: “Fri Nov 21 2008 12:30:00 GMT-0600″,
endDate: “Fri Jan 23 2009 13:00:00 GMT-0600″,
color: “#FFC080″,
opacity: 50,
startLabel: “shot”,
endLabel: “t.o.d.”,
theme: theme
}),
like on (http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/) only leads to messing up the whole thing…

Any hints are welcome!

Exactly. I query salesforce and spit out XML to the timeline.

Hey, i was wondering just how you managed to reference the object fields? Basically, is there dynamic XML being created?

[...] Salesforce.com employee Ron Hess took the Timeline S-Control that I built last year and rewrote it. It’s a thing of beauty now and it’s free for the installing. Just put it on the detail page for Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, and Cases and see all the relevant info in a left to right, scrollable Timeline. [...]
