Problem with VeriteCo Timeline plugin
Added by Emily Sherwood almost 11 years ago.

Description
I activated the VeriteCo Timeline plugin on the site below, but once the code is inserted into the post, the timeline just stays stuck in loading mode. I tried it on a test site on a similar multi-user Word Press install and it didn't work there, either.

The only thing that works on my test site is using the unfiltered html through the text edit. I left that code in the Visual box on the draft of the post, but I'm not sure what else to try.

Hi Boone --
If you have time, can you please try to take a look at this tomorrow or Tuesday? We're trying to hit a Wednesday publication deadline. Thanks in advance for your help.

The VeriteCo plugin appears to be broken. The JavaScript method it uses doesn't seem to work with later versions of jQuery. The plugin hasn't been updated since late 2012, so perhaps it's been abandoned.
In any case, the JS method of loading the timeline is odd to me, when an iframe alternative is available. As a stopgap for your publication, I've created a new shortcode [cac-shortcode] which uses the iframe technique, and seems to work properly. https://github.com/castiron/cac/commit/ed258346c0f4593e08d65cd3b088d401625912bc See http://justpublics365.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/post.php?post=3280&action=edit&message=10 for the shortcode edit I made.
I don't have any guarantees that this shortcode will work for all instances of VeriteCo timelines; that'd require more research into their API. I'll leave the larger problem with the plugin for a future release.
Please let me know whether this is working as you'd expect.
Hi, Boone.
Thanks, the timeline looks great.
Much appreciated!
Emily
Thank you, Boone! I appreciate your quick work on this.
