enhancement: simple Wayback function #23

Open Chlara opened 8 years ago

Hi

I really like the WebArchivePlayer because it is very simple for viewing a WARC-file.

The only thing I miss in this Player is the possibility to change from one archived version to another (simple Wayback function). It would be a great enhancement if the WebArchivePlayer could show that the displayed site also exists in another version and that the date can be changed.

In my example (Bistro_201602.warc renamed to Bistro_201602.warc.jpg) you can see the two versions of the page “offer” (http://www.bistrot-bern.ch/offer).

Thanks! Chlara

Hi, i'm not sure what you mean exactly.. it is possible to change the date if there are multiple copies of the same url, eg: http://localhost:8090/replay/2015/http://example.com/ or http://localhost:8090/replay2016/http://example.com/ To view all the available copies of a page, you can use http://localhost:8090/replay/*/http://example.com/

The UI for this is very basic still, but will be improved at some point.. If you're asking about the UI, there is not yet a good one in place for navigation across different date/times..
