[OpenLayers-Dev] temporal data slider

Hi,

> I have to create a time slider for Openlayers and display shapefile with temporal data published with GeoServer as my school work. I figured I should ask first if anyone worked on something like that or if anyone has any interesting ideas for this work. The slider should be bounded by max/min time value in the feature attributes. Only data valid in the time set by the slider should be visible. Since I'm new to OpenLayers I might be asking more questions in the future. Thanks for any information.

You might find something reusable in the TimedPointTrack plugin:
http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/ahocevar/playground/addins/timedpointtrack/

This deals with a temporal feature attribute, and marks a position
along a track.

An example with the time slider is here:

This plugin was funded by PlanetMayo Ltd., and originally created as
an OpenLayers patch by OpenLayers user achipa.

Regards,
Andreas.
