Horizontal Timeline Shortcode

• This plugin generates a shortcode to dynamically display a horizontal jquery timeline of posts in your page/post.
• Displays an excerpt of each post under the date shown above.
• Five different display methods to choose from on options page.
• Option to choose if the timeline begins at the oldest or newest post.
• Timeline will fit smaller screen-widths on refresh or page load if on small-screen device.
• See the ‘other notes’ tab for shortcode instructions.
• The plugin works on every theme I have tried it with and is compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

How to use

Put this shortcode in your post or pages

[ml_timeline] The default shortcode will display all posts.

category_name=”Your-category-slug”

[ml_timeline category_name=”Your-category-slug”] Will display posts from a specific category or categories. Separate category slugs by commas.

Install like any other basic plugin:

1. Unzip and copy the mlr-timeline folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder

   or upload .zip file from wordpress plugin uploader

2.Activate the MLR Timeline on your plugin-page.

style it

Easy things to style are the Year, month and postmarker elements.

Example:

timeline-title {display:none;} // removes title from top of timeline.

p.pyear {color:#000;font-size:2em;}
p.pmonth {color:#929292; font-size:1.3em;}
.timeline-container i {color:red;} // styles all the icons colour property.
ul#day_list {border-color:#929292;} // styles border line color
ul#day_list .post-marker {border-color:#929292;} // styles date marker line color
