New feature: Timeline
I'll not say much here.
It's a visual display of what have happened for a specific scener or group.
Go to you favorite scener or group page (/csdb/scener/?id=XX or /csdb/group/?id=XX) and notice the link in the right bar "Timeline". Hit it and.. well. yes. :)
This feature is in no way 100% finished. There is room for a lot of improvement and new ideas. Actually we have a few additional ideas ourselves, but I think it was about time to release it.

Amazing! Made me refine the whole HVSC team member dates right on the spot. :-)
Still not 100%, but I'll go through it in more detail when I'm back home from work. |

This is really cool!
However, if you check on timeline on Triad you have start date set from 1985 on members that doesnt have any join date. You should check this value against group build date, if set.
and if you already know about this, just ignore me. |

No didn't know about that one. (Didn't think of it)
Perhaps this will be fixed. :) |

also problem, if you do not know when you quit a group, the time line goes straight till present time eventhough you have quit.
tested it on myself |

Yes I know, but what should we do? Guess a date? :)
If I get something made about the "unsertain" dates (read the other thread Option to flag a date as "uncertain"? ) I will of curse use that info also. |

Change at least the colour or mark it otherwise as "uncertain" |

Did what you sugested (i think), but then I found a minor problem.
If you check the timeline for Triad now, you will notice that there are three cracks The Last Ninja +2D, Slap Fight +2, Trans-Atlantic Balloon Challenge which are dated before the found-date of Triad.
Is this an error, or was there a specific story with these three cracks? :) |

Those 3 cracks has been incorrectly added, the year should be 1987. I've fixed that now :) |

Really cool extra feature!!
But there is one thing I´d like to see.
I quit the scene in 1993 (not just being inactive) and returned in 2003.
But there is no way of showing this.
I guess a feature for this is quite usefull,I am probably not the only ´quiter´ to return.
(and how about that UFLI in ´graphic-mode´,read your mail,Perff) ;P |

It's very nice, but, something messes up the timeline for TWL (The Warlocks)
For example, the entry "Fast Smashed" is displayed as july+august+september, despite having a release date in september and several members (for example Galleon) are displayed as members from July, despite having a later member date.
The other groups I have been in looks correct though.

I thought a bit about it. As I see it there are a total of 4 types then.
1. Total uncertain dates. No start or end date has been given. (These bars will typically go all the way across)
2. Partially uncertain. Either the startdate or end date is not given.
3. Both startdate and enddate are given, but not exactly. Fx. only the year are given, no month or day.
4. Precise date.
Only there are some cases which are a bit special. Fx. the leave date for a scener of a group are of course not given if the scener is still a member of the group, so such cases should be special treated.
All in all it's not as simple as it might seem. :)
About how to mark these types, I though about making the lines more or less "filled". Something like this:
type1 type2 type3 type4
####### ####### #######
####### ####### #######
####### #######
####### ####### #######
####### ####### #######
####### ####### #######
####### ####### #######
####### #######
####### ####### #######
####### ####### #######
How does that sound? |

Hehe, I was just about to suggest some different kind of textures, but now you were faster. :-)
Go for it, sounds good. |

i guess timeline doesn't work entirely till today. if we switch to group's timeline, lines don't end at the moment when member lefts a group. |

A group can't have members after it dissolved.
Yet, timelines of members that have no end-date set, will continue up till the day of watching the timeline itself ('today').
(The other way around: they don't start in 1982 either... see my point?)
BTW, it fucks up the scale of the timeline, too.
Please fix.

A bug?
When I look at my timeline (http://noname.c64.org/csdb/timeline/?handle_id=1017) Blood Money+8HD is shown without a date, so spanning the whole timeline. But the release is deleted (as it was a duplicate). |
