How would I implement a timeline using this extension? I have linked to the timeline script as usual and it loaded a timeline frame with marker labels underneath. However I got the following Error:

TypeError: Timeline.DateTime has no properties

Is a timeline view supported in this version of the extension? Viewing a timeline with this extension in many ways is superior to embedding timelines using the SemanticMediaWiki Extension. (1) Timelines in Exhibit can be filtered on the fly (2) Semantic MediaWiki doesn't support historic dates (prior to 1900, I believe). ~ryan.c.yoder@gmail.com

Yes, you can use a timeline view!

Refer to this example page for the proper syntax: 

 http://simile.mit.edu/axo/Timeline_Test

You may not have capitalized "Timeline" in the viewClass attribute, or there may have been some other syntax error. I'm excited that you're trying to use our extension, but there is still a lot of work to be done on it, so I'm afraid you'll have to be wary of bugs! Good luck!

(Also, make sure you have the latest version from the subversion repository, because we changed some features today).

Is Timeline view Incompatible with Semantic MediaWiki?

It seems that the timeline view is not compatible with the Semantic MediaWiki Extension. I was unable to get timeline view working even after copying and pasting the exact syntax from the example above. Then I installed a brand new fresh copy of MediaWiki 1.10.0. The first and only extension I installed was the Exhibit extension. I then had no problem, the extension worked fine. Next, I installed the Semantic MediaWiki Extension and the timeline view stopped working immediately. (All other views operate fine).
