README

This extension adds the possibility to create dynamic timelines for your TYPO3 project.

Usage

You can create timeline-records inside of a storage folder. A timeline-record contains epochs, which define a timerange each. Inside of an epoch you can create moments, which are getting displayed in the frontend via tooltip.

To view your timeline in frontend you simply create the "Timeline"-Plugin and select the timelines you want to see.

Assets

You may include the SCSS and JavaScript files from this Extension. We provide popper.js with polyfills for IE11-usage.

includeJSFooter.popper = EXT:timeline/Resources/Public/JavaScript/popper.js
includeJSFooter.timeline = EXT:timeline/Resources/Public/JavaScript/timeline.js

Include the scss-file in your bundler.

/path/to/timeline/Resources/Private/Scss/Timeline.scss

Otherwise you can write your own styles and scripts to match your design.

Images

You can export your timeline as image (experimental). Therefore the library html2canvas is being used. Import it like this:

includeJSFooter.html2canvas = EXT:timeline/Resources/Public/JavaScript/htmltocanvas.js

You can edit the template and JavaScript like this to print your image to the website (and download it as jpg/png):

<button class="js-to-image">To image</button>

var button = document.querySelector('.js-to-image');
  button.addEventListener('click', function () {
    var line = document.querySelector('.js-timeline');
    html2canvas(line).then(function (canvas) {
      document.body.appendChild(canvas);
    });
  });
