I looked at several WordPress plugins tonight. My requirements were that I would be able to create a timeline based on Custom Content Types created by Pods, and then I would be able to sort by a custom field (meta_value) on that content type. I found a plugin which met my requirements on the second try. However, I turned up a few other potentials which I might want to look at for other projects.
These are the plugins I tried:
- Utlimate Timeline - Works off of post date for the content type selected. What I want is for it to order based on a custom field in the post type selected. Otherwise a nice plugin - not too slow.
- Timeline Grid - It worked and met the requirements!
- Viavi WordPress Timeline - Did not work. Produced three errors in the admin section when loading the plugin. (If the codebase was a fork of Timeline Grid, then it is possible that there was a conflict because both were activated at the same time.)
Some other untested plugins:
- UVisualize! - A really cool looking plugin for telling the story of data.
- Timelines
- Timeline Pro
- WP SIMILE Timeline
- WordPress Posts Timeline
