I noticed that when getting information from a feed that the timestamp is not right. On my blog I have a entry for 7:40PM but dipity displays it as 12:40 AM the next day. I think that this is because feeds like wordpress automatically set the time to GMT +0:00 and dipity is reading that as a local time instead of universal. I know I can fix this in the wordpress php source code to not switch back to GMT +0:00 but what about apps like twitter of youtube, ones that I can't change the code. You should use a similar techniques as Google Reader, all of those entries are accurate. In the feed settings have the user select a time zone and set the time accordingly. This may help to prevent branding me as a night hawk.
I had a date wrong in a Picasa folder, and didn't realize it until I entered in my Timeline. I fixed it in Picasa, and even deleted the feed in my timeline. I checked the folder, and it is now showing the right date. When I reentered the feed into my timeline, I found that it had not updated it. How do I get it to re-pull the correct data, or is there a way that I can manually update it?
Any way of changing the icon on the google map embedded into an event with a location? Trying to do something relating to data on local murders - can't really publish it with the little smiley man figure! Either that or is there a way of having the map view option, but without an individual map in the event on the timeline view?
If you embed a timeline with a custom bgcolor using the advanced settings, the color will change back to the default #ACBFE5 if you switch to either the List, Flipbook or Map and go back to Timeline view.
After only a few day I have over 400 items in my timeline. It starts to become a pain that the list
a) is in the wrong order (oldest 1st)
b) has no pagination. I would love browse by days, week, month
c) has no filter possibilities (by source, media, geodata, ???)
d) is not compressable (only titles)/decompressable (full item view)
e) More???
When I want to add an event and have filled out the relevant window, pressing the save button produces no action. I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.4.
The map feature isn't working all that well recently (it looked fine a week ago).
To see the problem, go to my timeline and click the first entry in timeline view:
http://www.dipity.com/user/raskol/tim...
The map shows up way beneath the pop-up box (at least in IE7), and my embedded version (in a test area behind my institution's firewall) doesn't show the map at all. Can I not have an image and a map in a single box?
i'm working on a Bible timeline, but there is a ton of stuff that could potentially be put into the timeline. i was thinking of making both an everything timeline and individual timelines. is it possible to pull the events of one timeline and merge them into another like what is currently possible with rss feeds?
incidentally, is there a limit to how many timelines we can create?
i'm trying to create a timeline of Biblical events. while entering a few dates in the life of Jesus Christ i noticed that it took my september 2, 5 ad and made it 2005 ad. when i tried to correct this (tried september 2, 0005 as the year) i was told that this date was not valid. am i entering these dates wrong or does the program not go back that far yet?
My Timeline seems to be missing the blogger entries. On my time line, I do not have any entries on my Timeline between Jan 2007 to November 2007, even though I have entries in my blog. There are entries that are before and after, but not during this time.
The timeline on the bottom of the Flipbook view mode today did not allow me to click on the latest date. The latest date I could choose was April 30th.
Edit: It might have to do with the fact that the little orange triangel seems to collide with the vertical bar on April 30th. See it here:
Nothing against me as author but in the Recently Modified Events list it would be more appropriate and informative to show the source if the event is originating from an RSS feed.
Teaser: "I'll show you a great live example for a product timeline
Out of fun (because I am a fan) I have added a nice product timeline for Gorillapod mini-tripods using a mashup of UGC and CGC. As I have not the rights to post script code I can only recommend to follow the link at the bottom of this article. Search performancing.com for Gorillapod to see about which product I am talking about.
Check the live example and you can see how you can add great dynamic content for your content niche or to (company) websites..."
