Forums: Index > Council > Timeline Project
The Timeline portal will be a large project. It's a portal located here. Middle-earth has an extensive history and it will take time to create this fully. We can use the easy timeline extension by inserting the code
<timeline> ImageSize = width:160 height:550 PlotArea = width:50 height:530 left:50 bottom:10 DateFormat = yyyy Period = from:1919 till:1991 TimeAxis = orientation:vertical ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:5 start:1920 # there is no automatic collision detection, # so shift texts up or down manually to avoid overlap Define $dx = 25 # shift text to right side of bar PlotData= bar:Leaders color:red width:25 mark:(line,white) align:left fontsize:S from:start till:1922 shift:($dx,15) text:Vladimir~Ilyich~[[Lenin]] from:1922 till:1953 shift:($dx,5) text:[[Stalin|Josef Stalin]] from:1953 till:1964 shift:($dx,5) text:Nikita~[[Khrushchev]] from:1964 till:1982 shift:($dx,5) text:Leonid~[[Brezhnev]] from:1982 till:1984 shift:($dx,-12) text:Yuri~[[Andropov]] from:1984 till:1985 shift:($dx,4) text:Konstantin~[[Chernenko]] fontsize:XS from:1985 till:end shift:($dx,10) text:Mikhail~[[Gorbachev]] </timeline>
, which creates this

- I think that I'll just abandon this project, the syntax is quite difficult to learn and use and then there's matters of the different Ages etc. which will complicate things.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 11:03, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- It doesn't look too complicated, but it would take a while. I know this is an old, abandoned project, but I support it nevertheless. TheGreyPilgrim|Talk|Contribs|Edits 19:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- When I looked into making even a simple timeline, I never learnt how to do it; but I'm sure I we put a bit of determination into it we could work it out.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 16:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. We just need more active people.. even one more would be a great help. TheGreyPilgrim|Talk|Contribs|Edits 16:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- If this project is still alive, I'd be willing to help, once I figure out what all the code does. It might take awhile, though. Gamma Metroid | talk | contribs | edits 23:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
