Timeline by days instead of years?

[mjeleon]

Is it possible to use the timeline to group entries by specific dates instead of years? I have a collection of items that all take place within the same year, and would love to group and list them by date instead if possible. I tried following the instructions to repurpose the timeline- but the instructions did not match the code I was looking at- not sure if that's because the instructions are outdated, or if they were not meant for CollectionBuilder GH, which is what I'm using. Any ideas?

@mjeleon the easiest way to do this is to go to _layouts > timeline.html. Change line 17 from this:

{%- capture clean-days -%}{% for date in raw-dates %}{% if date contains "-" %}{{ date | strip | split: "-" | first }}{% elsif date contains "/" %}{{ date | strip | split: "/" | last }}{% else %}{{ date | strip }}{% endif %}{% unless forloop.last %};{% endunless %}{%- endfor -%}{%- endcapture -%}

to this:

{%- capture clean-days -%}{% for date in raw-dates %}{{ date | strip }}{% unless forloop.last %};{% endunless %}{%- endfor -%}{%- endcapture -%}

Commit the change and you should see the items in your timeline now grouped by day instead of year. Good luck!

Worked like a charm, thank you so much!
