Is there a 'Today in History' mod for VB?
 

Hi All.

I have accumulated a ton of information I'd like to dispense using a "Today in History" feature but I can't find a TIH module. Does anyone have one? Currently running VB 3.5.2.

Thanks!

Best thing to do is to use the vb calendar. You can create a new calendar just for these and there are a few mods out there to call up a list on the forum home or elsewhere.

The trick is importing the list you have into the calendar.

Thanks Reeve.

Here's an example that I want to do:

http://www.disneylinks.ca/forums/cal...1&day=2006-1-5

I want to display each entry I put January 5, no matter what year, on every January 5. Could I copy and modify birthday.php and call it say, "todayinhistory.php" and place that on my vBadvanced portal page? (BTW, there's an issue with this I hope they're working on).

Hasn't someone written something like this already?

What about Ephmerids (sp?) - this is an addon to vbportal I believe for older versions - not sure about current.

Thanks, I've done some research on Ephemerids and it looks like it will do what I want it to do, but how do I get it to display in a box on my portal page? (http://www.disneylinks.ca/forums/cmps_index.php) Note, this page isn't live yet, as I'm still working on it, but it does work fine. I'm all new at this, so was just wondering if phpPortal and PostNuke stuff will run with my vBulletin setup before I invest anymore time in this... thanks for any info.

Probably wouldn't be too hard as long as you had the code.

I swear a couple days ago I thought this would be a good product for me to do. I couldn't find a TIH mod either. Maybe I can try to crank out a beta next week.

Oh i would love this mod on my forums. Please try to crank out a beta soon. thanks.

Create it as a holiday, that should ensure it shows up every Jan 5th, etc.
