My test tree is not huge containing only 273 people including the living members and there are large spaces in the time line where there should be people but no one is shown.

My parents were born 11 years appart and there are only a few people born between them but none show up.

No later generations at all except for one grand neice. My tree is already separated into many genomaps, although some of the more distant ones are quite large.

This idea of Ron's is very interesting but not very usefull if it only works on 20 or 30 people as most trees are bigger than this.

To be honest I am already over the moon about Ron's efforts with the report generator and XML tool, so this time line is not urgent for me, but would be nice when it is sorted out. Obviously this is only the first try and I can wait untill the genious sorts it out. (How does he find the time?)

My test tree has 273 people in it. I opened the page as you suggested and noticed that there were two light blue bands, one near the top with enough space above it for one line of text and the other is at the bottom with one line of text and there is nothing between these two sections even though there is plenty of empty space.

I had the same problem, but I didn't want to interrupt  Ron's work, so I found a temporal solution that works for me (I know this is not the best way, but it work's):

But with the subtitle I couldn't find a solution so I just simply change the subtitle to a standard Time Line

Ron did a great work with time line skin, and I know he is very busy, so I hope this could be useful.

 I think I used the '&X' encoding to get an & to appear correctly in the title. I have noticed there are other problem characters such as 'curly quote' marks (XML entities “ and &#8221 that GenoPro can use in name formats. I think the is a flaw in the Timeline XML data structure in that the title is set as an element attribute rather than a XML text node and it appears to use its own XML entity decoding routine with some preset character codings but with gaps.

The subtitle issue is because I use a single HTML page, timeline.htm, and pump all the data for each genomap into it. Most of the data is in the timelinen.xml file but the title is passed via the URL querystring. I used Dan's UrllEncode for this but couldn't find an exact matching decode.

To overcome the above I'll try passing all the data in JSON format rather than XML and the querysting.

It works very well for me as I have separate maps for each family unit.   Of course this means that sometimes I would like to view a combination of two or more maps at one time. I do not know the complexity of allowing the joining of two data sources.

I would like to suggest that the timeline for a living individual be extended to date=now. It would be a better and true graphical representation, and stop the confusion between 'events' and life lines.

I think it should be by default at full screen.

Again, an excellent feature.

Being able to call the Timeline from the Individual page by inserting an icon beside the SVG icon might be a good idea.

I am interested in any feedback from beta/gamma/delta testers out there before submitting for incorporation into the standard report. Attached is a zip file of the modified files you will need to unzip into a customised skin from 2.0.0.3, replacing some files and adding some new ones.

As before a sample can be seen at Harry Potter but here is a screenshot

I'm going to look at Timelines for Individuals, showing births, education, occupations, occupancies, unions and death. Also something similar for families. I'll also add the idea from poolzone for an icon on the individual page linking to the timeline. I'll need to centre it on their Dob.

Update: Attachment removed - see later posting.

I can't figure out how to make an image of this to show you.
