Event Chronology Hack v1.0

Event Chronology Hack v1.0

Hack by : cinq
Tested and working with vb3.0.3 (earlier version untested but should work)


WHATS IT DO ?
This hack allows the administrator to maintain a listing of the past events that your site has organized.
This allows you to document past event history in a quick summary, and may be useful for potential sponsors to view.
Such events can be in the form of talks, outings, conventions, auctions, competitons, and so on. You are only limited by your imagination. As this hack uses phrases, you can easily change the context to make it suit your requirements.

SS uploaded as requested.
It's a rather simple layout , but remember the layout can be totally customized and determined by you. It's all in the templates

Future versions feature requests are also welcome.

So I gather that this is completely separate from the Calender feature?

[cinq]

Yep.

Loooks good

[ChrisBaktis]

All works good for me but when I go to add an event there is no description of what each input field is - now i got the info by looking at your screen shot - all the fields are present but on the left side their is no description.

[X-Sector]

Besides the fact that this is a great hack, I have some problems with it :/

It won't show what the title is in the admin CP. Screenshots:

I presume both ChrisBaktis and X-sector are experiencing the same problems ?
Got to do with the phrases addition, I will go through it tmr and provide a fix for it.

Thanks for the feedback folks
