I've noticed that many of you are only using the RSS Feeds component of this program and not the feature that lets you add your own events (like a today in history program). That's great but I would recommend in the admincp that you disable local events. It will make the mod look much cleaner on your site. :)

Remember, if you have full admin permissions for AboutToday, this change won't seem to do anything. You'll need to view it as a normal user to see the difference.

Hi peeps
Are there any databases to use with this hack please?
Such as the day in history? and so on?

I don't know of any but if you have one, you could easily create a flat file that could be imported into this product.

When I have the time I want to start adding "on this date" stuff.. I looked for a database but cant find any. The only thing I can think of is to start adding them every day from the news paper...

I can't seem to get this feed to work....

You are using the formatted feed. Try this instead: http://feeds.feedburner.com/NoteFromTheBook

Nice extension, Westpointer.

However, I'm having one problem:

If I set "Number of RSS events to display on "Today's Events"" to 0, it still displays 1 event, which is strange and then when I click on "About Today" it only shows that same one event, even though the "Number of RSS events to display on the main AboutToday page" is set to 4, so something weird is going on. :ermm:

Have you tried "Force RSS Update"? I think that should fix what you are seeing.

Yes, I have tried that many times but I still end up with 1 feed in both locations. I have even tried deleting old feeds & replaced them with new ones, so I'm not exactly sure what's causing the problem.

westpointer your kung foo rocks!!
