[GIS] How to make timeline with OpenLayers

boundless-suitegeoextopenlayers-2

I have OL, GeoExt, gxp. I have a layer with Date attribute. So I want to show features with same date.

I found an example using gxp_playback, but it does not work because it can't find OpenLayer.TimeUnit.HOURS. I found some libraries that this example requires there but none contain OpenLayer.TimeUnit.

Am I searching for this in the wrong place? Or is this whole example bad and there is a simpler way to make timeline?

I found gxp_timeline in gxp docs but can't find any examples of how to use this.

Please check timeline plugin on GitHub. I am sure it will help you.

It contains simple library to create a time related map with Open Layers. It supports cluster strategy (Open Layers.Strategy.Cluster) and time filtering.

Currently it supports source data in GeoJSON or GeoRSS format.

            });
//Append grouped overlays in the TreeNode
treeNode.appendChild(new GeoExt.tree.OverlayLayerContainer({
            text: "Overlay",
            map: map,
            expanded:true,
            loader: {

                        filter: function(record) {
                            return record.get("layer").name.indexOf("area")!== -1;
                        } 

                    }
        }));

if there are two area layers with name : Market area & Ag. area. The area layers should be appear inside the "Overlay" tree.

Your code has no SelectFeature handlers.

Look at the source code of the sample you linked to, there are 2 controls, one that acts on a "highlight" (or a "hover") and the other on a select/click. You need to create handlers like that and add your vector layer to it.

...from the sample file

var highlightCtrl = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature...
...
var selectCtrl = ...
