How to create vertical timeline in Squarespace

Recommended Posts

HI there.

I was wondering if there was a non-commercial solution for creating a vertical timeline in SquareSpace? I have seen that there are some commercial options available, but also read in this forum about some of the problems with these plugins so I am looking for a homegrown solution inside SS that can be used.

Has anyone found a clever way to create one of these?

 

Thanks

Thank you in advance!

It requires to convert code into html and css. Then add these code in a code block on your site.

Here is my code for it

<div class="main-timeline">
    <h1 class="center">Responsive Vertical Timeline</h1>
    <ul class="timeline">
        <li class="timeline-item">
            <div class="timeline-content">
                <h3>Danish toffee marzipan chocolate</h3>
                <p>Sugar plum topping tootsie roll cheesecake gummi bears pie halvah. Gummies topping brownie marshmallow macaroon cotton candy. Marshmallow candy canes lemon drops wafer danish pastry cake dessert cupcake. Chocolate dessert chocolate cake bear claw icing toppinng.</p><button>Learn More</button>
            </div>
        </li>
        <li class="timeline-item">

I change from the 'main' class  into 'main-timeline' in order not to make any conflict of Squarespace's standard block

Thanks a lot @bangank36 
You are awesome! 

The only problem I see is that the timeline nodes are shown offset from the vertical line to the right, and the vertical line itself is not centred between the boxes. Any idea how to fix it?

Try adding the following code to fix the issue

.timeline {
  padding-left:0;
}
