Hi John,

Thanks for the question. Right now we don't offer a way to just show the last 30 days of an rss feed.

We are in the process of rolling out a few major changes to the way our back-end & front-end work and the result should be faster loading views as well as better site performance.

If you're just using the RSS feed then you might want to consider using a Yahoo! Pipe to just show the last 30.

We think this is a great idea too and this feature should be part of an upgrade to the widget which should be out by Sept. or so. Thanks for the suggestion!

Derek Dukes replied on July 13, 2009 22:22 to the problem "Timeline events didn't save correctly" in Dipity:

Hi ChrisAnn,

Check again, the events are likely there. Right now we have a server that managed things that get added to the database while another set manage serving the content up to users. Sometimes there is a lag in between the two systems. We're working on some changes that will make this problem go away, but it's taking some time.

Derek Dukes replied on July 13, 2009 22:20 to the question "Filtered Timeline, is it possible?" in Dipity:

This is a great idea and we're going to be rolling this out in to a future release, but it will be at least a couple months before we can get it in.

In the mean time you might consider using Y! Pipes and the Dipity add from RSS feature.

Hey there, power user!

Here's what you need to do (see attached image).

1. Open the embed builder from the 'embed widget' button.
2. Click on the 'Center On' text entry box and enter 'today'
3. Select 'month' as the zoom level

When you select these options the screen should refresh with relevant update code that you can copy to update your widget code.

Hi Marilyn,

You might want to check again today to see if this is working agian. We've been making some changes on the backend this week and it's possible that things were a bit in flux when you were doing your edits. If it is still not taking the changes reply with a link to the timeline and the title of one of the events that isn't taking the change and we'll take a look.

Hi Kristen,

I checked and haven't been able to get it to work either. I'll have one of the development team take a look. Bumming that this isn't working for you.

Ircam,

We're still digging in on this. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for bearing with us.

Derek Dukes replied on June 15, 2009 18:07 to the question "Timeline keeps reverting back to an older version?" in Dipity:

Hi Ircam,

Can you try running IE8 in 'compatibility mode' and see if that fixes the issue?

Also, if you have the timeline embeded in a page can you send me the link to that page? When I pull it up in Dipity, in Safar on Mac, I can see all the events, navigate etc.

Thanks!

A comment on the question "Timeline keeps reverting back to an older version?" in Dipity:

Using percentages when you define for the iframe the widget should adapt accordingly.

If you get stuck you can email support @ dipity [dot] com and we'll even trouble shoot your javascript!
