Forum:Adding a timeline to your wikia.

I've been trying to figure out how to add a timeline to my wikia, and it seemed the best way to do this was to use one of the automated timeline creators such as Dipity (dipity.com). Only problem is, it looks like wikia doesn't allow iFrames due to security issues, so there goes my easy button. I'm still learning a lot of this, so is there an equivalent way to get something like this going on my wikia, or am I going to just have to manually write out all this information? Thanks ahead of time! TheDaringSlipshod 20:50, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

I think Help:Timeline on Wikia Help should cover this (please correct me if I'm wrong). -- 20:57, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I was hoping to find one that was interactive, which would allow people to scroll through and select events on the timeline to get a popup with more in-depth information. At this point, it may just

be easier to provide a link to the Dipity timeline and have people go off-site to view it. Thanks for the suggestion, though!TheDaringSlipshod 21:09, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * You could probably make an interactive timeline with a combination of tables and tooltips, but that kind of thing is unlikely to be made via a simple extension. There isn't alot of call for interactive timelines in wikis. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 3:20 PM PST 16 Aug 2010
