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.

Quote: I still want that the uncertain time lines are market as such!

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.
