Geocoded map doesn't sync with timeline #55

Closed rebeccawilliams closed 11 years ago

rebeccawilliams commented 11 years ago

Sorry if this was reported elsewhere.

Timeline works! Geocoding works! But corresponding events and locations are not highlighted at the same time, e.g. clicking on Raleigh brings the Providence event up.

Thanks in advance!

Immediate thought: you have a "bad row" at the start (the instructions row). Deleting that should help. However I've tried that and still seems to be issues. I'll be looking further.

BTW:

fantastic you are using this - really nice usecase!
you can use full geojson in the location column
we're working on a bunch of improvements including things like just being to show the map or just the timeline, being able to have nice urls e.g. {your-name}/{name}

Thanks Rufus! I deleted that row too and will continue to tinker.

:+1: Happy to! / Thought so too.
with geoJSON, I'm having trouble with the "human readable location"; put it in the geoJSON as a property itself or still in the column designated as such? Couldn't get either to work.
Cool. / I think this is great and I'm happy you made it.

@rebeccawilliams on geojson point - you'd probably want the place separately in the Place column. Can you provide a minimal example of some geojson in the location column where it does not work and we can try and debug :-)

@rebeccawilliams have tracked down bug that was causing this and fixed it. Should be working correctly now!

This bug doesn't seem to have been completely fixed: clicking on a marker on the map causes the item AFTER the one associated with the marker to appear in the timeline window, and clicking either forward or backward on the timeline causes a flag to appear on the map for the item BEFORE the one displayed in the timeline window. (NB: in Timemapper, on the other hand, flags don't appear on the map at all unless the marker is clicked -- even when one clicks the icon in the timeline -- but clicking the map marker does pull up the appropriate item in the timeline information window). Checked in Chrome Version 30.0.1599.69 m and Firefox 24.0 on a Windows 7 PC.

Can you link to an example?

atomrab commented 10 years ago

Sorry, this is all due to leaving the instructional row in the template spreadsheet -- with that gone, everything else works fine.
