Ephemerids -" Today in the history " with Tiny Event Version 1.01

I have modified Tiny Event Version 1.01 to use as an Ephemerid’s or “Today in History" module.

You can see it working here: http://www.matamoros.com/modules/news/
It is the second block titled “Efemerides del Prfr. Andres F. Cuellar”

Tiny Event is a very nice and simple to use calendar, the author is Tobias Liegl.

What the hack does:
Shows today’s events in history in a block, if today’s (query’s current date, only month and day, not year - so that it can be used any year) is empty it will look up tomorrows events, if tomorrow’s events are empty it will look up the day after tomorrows events, and so on for a week.

I would like to share this hack with anyone interested, I need to document the modifications.
What is the proper procedure for documenting and to making it available for downloads?

It would be great to modify it further to:
Enable BB codes for the text area description
Remove the need for globals for it to work
Add a scrolling block, to be enabled from the admin
Can someone help with this?

I can't answer on your question "What is a proper way", but will try on other side...

1. Yes, at least I want to see this in action and avaliable
2. I think, converting your hack into the new independent module will be best way

You can see it in action at: http://www.matamoros.com/modules/news/

It is the 4th center block titled "Efemerides del Prfr. Andres F. Cuellar".

The main menu link has been disabled (no link to modules index page or submmit link), the events are added from the admin side.

The title of the event is the day in history, eg: September 15, 1945.

The block has been edited in the templateset, to include the title and description of the event, and to exclude the links to the items detail page. The idea being, that visitors only have viewing rights to block that shows the current or next current event at a time.

I will have to read up but I think I can clone and convert it to a new module, it would need some testing.

If you like I can email you the current files.

Sorry for the delay in posting, I had to do a litle bit of testing, and write the reame file.

I have uploaded the modified tinyevents to Ephemerids module hack, you can find it here: http://www.matamoros.com/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=16

Please read the readme file!!!

I have tried to document the modifications on the readme file, but have done a poor job of documenting the actual code files.

I hope that this hack will be of benefit to someone, and somebody might be able to modifie even better.

A couple of notes:
1 I'm almost sure tha globals have to be ON, for the module to work.

2 You have to enable the Next Events Block, and modify it to show the description of the events, this is done via your cloned template set, the code is in the reame files.

Hi, uploaded this hacked tinyevent module to XOOPS 2.0.13.2, it seems some directories and files though are missing from your modified version.

-Some things missing in xoops_version.php(module name, description)
-Module logo image is missing
-images, include, admin and blocks directories are missing.

I thought perhaps I was to upload original tinyevent then overwrite it with your modified files but the modified files are missing from your hacked version(admin/index.php and include/form.inc.php)

ANychance you could fix this please I would really like to use this module it would be perfect for me, thanks.

I'm afraid the directories/files are still missing from this one. Is it possible for you to supplu just the altered files or supply the modified tinyevent as just one package?

Thanks.
