I just did a hack on
my site about that. Was not easy. I had to copy the function_databuild.php into otherdatabuild.php, edited it to remove all that was not needed, then in index.php I copied the upcoming events, changed all the names, did a vboptions settings for amount of days to show in today in history etc...
and now, I got two distinct events: Today in History and Events. For today in history I pull today's events only and for Events, the next 7 days.
