Oh, I already gushed over this in my requests thread, but let me gush here, too!

Thank you!

My only question before I try this is ...

If I don't have birthdays enabled, will it still work?

-deb

P.S. Thank you so much. I'm in awe.

*gush*

it wont show up if you have 'show logged in users' off.

(i didnt feel liek going all out and having a separate config option...so i put it in with the 'show logged in users' option)

Mister:

You had great instructions, the installation went perfect, and it's now working at our new board.

I may play around with the placement on the main page -- I'll let you know if I can't figure that out.

The only other thing I'd could possibly ask for it to do is flag a reminder for an event tomorrow.

Thanks so much, this is GREAT!!

Kudos!

Props!

Wild Cheering!

Worked great! The only thing is that I tried to add $todaysevents to my forumhome_pmloggedin template but it doesn't show. The reason I did this is because I have the Private Messages box at the top of the forum page and would like to have Today's Events there as well. I don't really want the Currently Active Users at the top of the page though.

If you're still bored, could you tell me how to do this?

Oh and one other thing - I noticed that the event for today stopped displaying when the server's time went past midnite. It looks like this isn't tied into the users time like $birthdaybits is. (Today's birthday still displayed.)

Thanks again!

I think I love you! ;)

I've been waiting for this... the girls on my board have been asking for this for a while...

Now I'm off to set it up.... :)

forumhome_pmloggedin is evaluated before the $todaysevents in the hack code is. that may have something to do with it.

if you want the $todaysevents to show up there, move the require('./todaysevents.php'); up before the pm stuff in index.php

and yes, i should fix the time problem. didn't even think about that. next version...

Great hack! Installed it right away... :)

Not content with perfection ...

I tried to move this display into the header template.

I've failed. :(

Here's what I did:

1. I moved the require statement in index.php up to the top, just under the:

require('./global.php');

2. I changed the $todaysevents in todaysevents.php to add some HTML for a boxed in announcement.

3. I added $todayseventsClose to todaysevents.php to close up said HTML, I added it right under the $todaysevents line

4. I modified the header template to add

$todaysevents
$todayseventsClose

just after the last TD of the basic template.

What did I miss? :( :( :(

I get no errors. But I don't get an event either.

-deb

hmm.

theres an event scheduled for today, right?

Yup, I put a test event in today. When I revert the files, it shows up fine.

I feel real dumb.
