I am posting this in a under a new topic as it is no longer a sugggestion or wish list item and the old post was getting a little cluttered.

Summary. The attached files add an Individual, Family and GenoMap Timelines  feature to the English Narrative Report. To use it, create an empty GenoPro customized skin folder e.g. Customized English Narrative Report with Timelines, and unpack the contents of the attached zip file into it.

 Then generate a report using this custom skin.

Usage Notes.

  1. Config.xml contains a number of new parameters used to customise the Timeline:
        Timelines="Y" set this to "N" if you do not want Timelines to appear in your report
        TimelineMinEventsIndividual="2"  Mimimum no. of events before a Timeline is produced for a particular individual.
        TimelineMinEventsFamily="2"  Mimimum no. of events before a Timeline is produced for a particular family.
        TimelineShowDuration="N" Whether or not 'duration' bars are displayed initially. (Can be toggeld on and off in Report)
        TimelineContemporary="Y" Whether or not 'duration' bars are to be displayed for events that are still current.
    These parameters can of course either be changed in Config.xml or set using GenoPro Document Custom Tags.
  2. Dictionary.xml contains settings for the colours of the text and bars in the Timelines and can be changed if required. Not that the (hexadecimal) RGB color values should be used. Note also that when used for a duration bar, a 20% opacity value is applied to the colour. The Timeline widget also allows other aspects of the theme to be changed but this has not been implemented here.
  3. The GenoMap timelines initially display a 'note' event giving details of how the navigate the timeline. You can also pan the Timeline by clciking the mouse wheel and dragging or by double clicking at the ends of the visible Timeline area when hand cursor is displayed.
  4. Information bubble/balloons are not displayed on the Individual & Family Timelines because most of the information is already available on the same page.
  5. The Simile Timeline Javascripts are now included in the custom skin and will be copioes into the report location rather than being dynamically downloaded from the MIT site when the report is viewed. This is because the scripts have been amended to permit coloured duration bars and will also isolate the generated Report from changes & availability of the MIT site.

Update VI: 14/4/07 Version 2.0.0.3l posted
