Great mod, thanks for releasing this!
On my site however I decided to add it to the bottom of the 'Whats Going On?' box. See sample screen shot attached. If you'd like to do the same you'll need to edit your FORUMHOME template.
1.) AdminCP->Style Manager->Edit Templates->FORUMHOME
Look for:
HTML Code:
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$upcomingevents</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</if>
$template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos5]
2.) After paste:
HTML Code:
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
Daily Soup
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/calendar.gif" /></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%">
<div class="smallfont">
<DIV ALIGN=CENTER>
<!--This Day in History by TheFreeDictionary.com-->
<div style="width:750px;position:relative;background-color:;padding:4px">
<div style="font:bold 15pt '';color:#000000">This Day in History</div>
<style>
#TodaysHistory {width:100%;border:none;background-color:}
#TodaysHistory H3 {margin-top:0px;font:bold 12pt '';color:#000000}
#TodaysHistory TD {font:normal 10pt '';color:#000000}
#TodaysHistory A {color:#0000FF}
</style>
<script language="javascript"
src="http://img.tfd.com/daily/history-top.js?0"></script>
<div style="font:normal 8pt '';color:#000000">
</div></div>
<!--end of This Day in History-->
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
$template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos6]
All done, enjoy!
