'focus_date' does not default to date of first event #20

Closed jeremyboggs closed 12 years ago

jeremyboggs commented 12 years ago

The documentation indicates that the default for 'focus_date' is the date of the first event loaded on the timeline. However, when I omit 'focus_date' from the timeline options, the timeline breaks, even though there is an event with a valid 'startdate' fed to the timeline. If I explicitly set a 'focus_date' on the timeline options, the timeline loads correctly.

Curious whether this is a bug in the code, or if there is some other way of setting the 'focus_date' to the first event on the timeline.

This is what one might call a "bug of omission" ----- as I was writing the documentation, I was picturing what it ought to be rather than what it was. Will update the actual code to reflect this (give me a few days).

Okay. that took a while. Finally defaulting timeline with no provided focus date to first event's date.
