<divclass="accordion-inner">If you're using a Google Spreadsheet as your source, make sure your Google spreadsheet is public and published. Also make sure you don't have any empty rows in the spreadsheet since this can sometimes cause problems.</div>

<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-04"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">How many entries will work best in TimelineJS?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">Timeline is optimized for 20-30 entries. If you have more entries, you run a risk of slow loading times, so test and make sure you are satisfied, or edit your timeline into less entries or a series of smaller timelines. La Nación created a <ahref="http://blogs.lanacion.com.ar/data/herramientas/todos-los-papas-en-un-timeline-js/">timeline of all of the popes</a> with over 250 entries.</div>

<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-10"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">Why aren't there thumbnails on my events?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">Thumbnails are only shown from Flickr, Youtube, Vimeo etc. That was done for performance reasons. Having a very large image file as a thumbnail really slows down the timeline. Flickr, Youtube etc have actual thumbnail sized images that can be used that don't cause performance issues. You can also create your own thumbnails.</div>

<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-14"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">Why does the timeline not show days or hours etc?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">The display of the timeline is dynamic. It chooses a time interval that best matches the number of events there are with the amount of time that is covered.</div>
<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-21"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">What are tags?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">Tags are essentially categories. You can have up to 6 of them to categorize events on the timeline. The events on the timeline will align with their category row. <em>See the screenshot below</em><br/><imgsrc="{{ static_url }}/img/TimelineJSTags.jpg"></div>
<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-15"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">Is it possible to have more than 6 tags?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">Not at the moment.</div>

<divclass="accordion-group">
<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-16"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">Can I change the number of rows on the timeline?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">The default number of rows is 3. If you are using tags and you have more than 3 tags, the number of rows increases to 6.</div>
<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-17"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">How can I show only the year for an event in my Timeline?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">Simply enter the year. Earlier versions of TimelineJS required you to enter a date as January 1 of a given year with no time to do this, but now you should just enter the full year (four digits for recent events, or negative numbers for BC) in the "start date" or "end date" columns. You may need to change the format of the cells in Google Spreadsheet so that it doesn't change your plain year into a full date. To do this, select all the cells you want to change and select "Format > Number > Plain Text" from the Google Spreadsheet menus.</div>
<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-18"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">Can I use an Excel spreadsheet instead of Google Spreadsheets?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">No, but it's pretty easy to copy rows into a Google Spreadsheet. TimelineJS uses Google's API to access the data from the Google Spreadsheet and turns it into native TimelineJS json.</div>

<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-19"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">Can I use a database as the data source for TimelineJS?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">Yes. JSON is the best and safest format for feeding information into TimelineJS from a database. Just use your language of choice to create a json file from your database.</div>

<divclass="accordion-heading"><adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion-faq"href="#faq-20"class="accordion-toggle collapsed">Can my language be added?</a></div>
<divclass="accordion-inner">Yes!

You can find your language's <ahref="http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9pdwsai2hDMsLkXsoM05KQ&gid=1">two letter code</a> here.
