Places out of synch with timeline

Uploaded https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18WyoKGe6bqOb6QE9SZycCcFHWe-epJzgXFt5EgJpQyo/edit#gid=1469780553 to create http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/hanakham/historyofalgebra#5 but the place name of the subsequent event is displayed with current event.

I have the same problem: the metadata sheet is correct on for the map and timeline separately but the two are not corresponding: http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/canadaycenter/luminaries-timemap

Metadata sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VcRhJTy1jU8zS-_Qvo1tTzFHRECSknQxfhuyz6jbKc0/edit#gid=0

Other questions: Is there a way to use links in the map alone? All I see is a pop-up box but it does not take me anywhere like the timeline does. Also, it looks like you have to click on the timeline side before the map area works. Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

I'm having a similar problem - the data doesn't correspond with the display at all.

http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/katrinanavickas/political-meetings-1789-1848 and the metadata sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvsKmNpm3MXkdHJINWFtWGdzc0tVLVVRcERyV0JkQUE#gid=0

Has anyone come up with a way of fixing this?

@knavickas and others - i wonder if this is related to #89?

Also could you explain exactly what the problem is (perhaps a screenshot). When I visited - at least for first items in timeline stuff seemed ok ...

Thanks @rgrp! I looked at #89 as you pointed out, but #150 still is an issue. When I click on the timeline event, the bubble on the map side does not appear. When I click on the map, the timeline moves to the wring event.

Related question: can timemapper harvest metadata from other databases like CONTENTdm? If so, what fields would be accessible or required? Thanks!

[knavickas]

Thanks for quick reply @rgrp. The first items are o.k. but then it goes out of sync - see screenshot. There doesn't seem to be any order to which point goes with which description.

@knavickas Do you have any entries in your timeline that have a date but no location?

[knavickas]

No - just checked all the columns for errors and all is filled in correctly. Still having the same problem.
