BC dates appear as AD #52

Closed atomrab closed 11 years ago

atomrab commented 11 years ago

Timeline.js will represent dates in the format [-5000] appropriately as BC/BCE on the timeline; but when I load a spreadsheet with start and end dates in this format into Timeliner, all the dates appear as AD/CE. Is this a formatting issue or a bug?

Thanks for reporting - we're looking into this ...

atomrab commented 11 years ago

Any progress on this issue? I'm interested in using this as part of a class I'm teaching this fall, but it's on ancient Greece, so this is a critical feature...

This will def be ready by the fall - it may relate to #20

@atomrab would you be happy with support for negative dates (rather than BC)?

atomrab commented 11 years ago

Yes, absolutely! I'm used to those -- it's what I've been using with the map-less timeline.js library. The spreadsheet I was using to test Timeliner is already formatted with negative dates.
