Modern Timeline for Semantic MediaWiki

We thank KDZ Centre for Public Administration Research for funding initial development.

The first date printout is used as date for the timeline events:

{{#ask:
 [[Modification date::+]]
 |format=moderntimeline
 |?Modification date
}}

If a second date printout is present it is used as end date and the event is displayed as a range:

{{#ask:
 [[Start date::+]]
 |format=moderntimeline
 |?Start date
 |?End date
}}

Display and behaviour of the timeline can be changed via several output parameters:

{{#ask:
 [[Modification date::+]]
 |format=moderntimeline
 |?Modification date
 |width=75%
 |height=500px
 |start at end=on
}}

A full list of supported output parameters can be obtained in wiki via the smwdoc parser function:

{{#smwdoc: moderntimeline }}

Load the extension using Composer:

COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update professional-wiki/modern-timeline:~1.0

Enable the extension by adding the following to your LocalSettings.php:

wfLoadExtension( 'ModernTimeline' );

You can verify the installation by checking your wiki's Special:Version page.
