Timeline graph and play button not appearing in Ushahidi 2.6.1 and 2.7 #1120

Closed prd-interarma closed 11 years ago

prd-interarma commented 11 years ago

I've tried installing Ushahidi Web 2.6.1 and 2.7 on two different Linux hosts (and distributions) and accessing them from the current versions of Safari, Chrome, Firefox and IE under multiple versions of Mac OS X, Linux and Windows, and the timeline graph fails to appear in any of these configurations. Also, this problem exists whether Admin->Settings->Map->Map Timeline is set to 'Yes' or 'No.

For a live example, see http://watch.refugee-rights.net/

Thanks in advance, and thanks for all your collective great work!

It looks like there might have been a bug with the CSS/JS compression.. add ?flush=1 to the end of a url to force regenerating these. Just tried that on your site and it looks like its working fine now: http://watch.refugee-rights.net/?flush=1

ALso the 'Play' button was removed several version ago (in 2.5 I think)

Ahh, okay, thanks for replying so quickly, and for both the tips.

Just a comment about the 'Play' button — it's still mentioned explicitly in the documentation on page 78 of http://ushahidi.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/community_docs/Ushahidi-Manual.pdf and page 10 of http://ushahidi.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/community_docs/Ushahidi-Manual_4.pdf, as well as included in many of the screen shots. While the latter PDF file dates from 2011, the former has a creation date in April 2013, so it might be worth updating the documentation to reflect its removal.

Thanks again!
