Responsive Dynamic Timeline Plugin For jQuery - Timeliner

Timeliner is a simple yet robust jQuery plugin used to generate a responsive, vertical timeline that allows to dynamically add, remove, edit event entries with custom template support.

How to use it:

1. Load the needed jQuery library and Font Awesome in the html file.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/font-awesome.min.css">
<script src="/path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>

2. Load the jQuery timeliner plugin's files:

<link href="jquery-timeliner.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="jquery-timeliner.js"></script>

3. By default, the plugin uses Twitter Bootstrap for the default templates.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="/path/to/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

4. You might also need to load the bootstrap-datepicker plugin for the date picker support.

<link href="/path/to/bootstrap-datepicker.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="/path/to/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>

5. The basic html structure to add custom events to the timeline.

<div id="timeliner">
  <ul class="columns">
      <li>
          <div class="timeliner_element teal">
              <div class="timeliner_title">
                  <span class="timeliner_label">Event Title</span><span class="timeliner_date">03 Nov 2014</span>
              </div>
              <div class="content">
                  <b>Lorem Ipsum</b> is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

              </div>
          </div>
      </li>
  </ul>
</div>

5. Initialize the timeline with default settings and done.

var tl = $('#timeliner').timeliner();

6. Possible customization options.

var tl = $('#timeliner').timeliner({

  // Primary key and dates are coming here
  pk                      : 'id',
  dk                      : 'date',
  itemSelector            : 'div.timeliner_element',

  // Callbacks events for server side handling
  onAdd                   : onAdd,
  onEdit                  : onEdit,
  onDelete                : onDelete,

  // Some functions to help the customization
  sortComparer            : sortComparer,
  dateFormater            : dateFormater,
  pointFormater           : pointFormater,
  
});

7. Use your own templates instead of Bootstrap styles.

var tl = $('#timeliner').timeliner({

  itemTpl                 : itemTpl,
  formTpl                 : formTpl,
  pointTpl                : pointTpl,
  spineTpl                : spineTpl,
  sectionTpl              : sectionTpl,
  addBtnId                : undefined,
  addBtnTpl               : addBtnTpl,
  addFrmId                : undefined,
  editBtnTpl              : editBtnTpl,
  deleteBtnTpl            : deleteBtnTpl,
  
});
