This day in History??

[oldfan]

Maybe there are no events in the calendar that match today's date? Try running the SQL query in phpMyAdmin to see if there are records returned.

how do that?
also i just added two events for today

I'm not home right now. But you can inspect (right click > Inspect) the HTML structure of that Recent Posts widget. Do the same HTML tags and CSS classes for the Today in History widget.

I believe this is it..

        <div class="blocksubhead">

            <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_cms}/widget-forum.png" alt="" />
            <span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span>

Without running the code myself, this is a wild guess.

Change the block of code with $output_bits .= sprintf( with this block:

$output_bits .= sprintf("
    <li class="noavatarcontent floatcontainer widget_post_bit">
        <div class="widget_post_userinfo"></div>
        <div class"smallavatartext widget_post_comment_noavatar">
            <h5 class="widget_post_header">
                <a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d" class="title">%s</a>
            </h5>
            <div class="meta">%s</div>
        </div>
    </li>",
    $event["eventid"],
    $event["title"],
    $format
);​​

got this..

The post removed the backslash character in the code. I think that's a bug in the editor. You'd have to type double backslashes to display a single slash when post is saved.

Try this updated code:

$output_bits .= sprintf("
    <li class=\"noavatarcontent floatcontainer widget_post_bit\">
        <div class=\"widget_post_userinfo\"></div>
        <div class=\"smallavatartext widget_post_comment_noavatar\">
            <h5 class=\"widget_post_header\">
                <a href=\"calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d\" class=\"title\">%s</a>
            </h5>
            <div class=\"meta\">%s</div>
        </div>
    </li>",
    $event["eventid"],
    $event["title"],
    $format
);​

what im i removing??

[glennrocksvb]

I was referring to my post. Just copy the latest code I posted.

[oldfan]

Yea, but where does it go into?

[glennrocksvb]

That is the replacement code for the code I posted in post #38

[oldfan]

That is the replacement code for the code I posted in post #38

replace the whole block code, or replace a piece of the code. See below.
Also i did use that code and replaced the whole box and I got nothing

ob_start();
global $db,$vbulletin;


$mydate =  mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")-1, date("Y"));
$show_count =10;

$query = sprintf("    SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."event
                    WHERE visible = 1
                    AND (dateline_from >= '$mydate' || (dateline_from >= '$mydate' AND dateline_to <= '$mydate' ) || ('$mydate' BETWEEN dateline_from AND dateline_to))
                    ORDER BY dateline_from ASC LIMIT $show_count");

$event_get = vB::$db->query_read($query);

$output_bits = '';
while($event = vB::$db->fetch_array($event_get)) {

     if($event['dateline_to'] == 0 )
     {
         $format = sprintf("On %s",vbdate('D M jS Y',$event['dateline_from'],false,true,false,true));
     } else {
         $format = sprintf("From %s to %s",vbdate('D M jS Y',$event['dateline_from'],false,true,false,true),vbdate('jS M Y',$event['dateline_to'],false,true,false,true));
     }

     $output_bits .= sprintf('
        <div class = "cms_widget_post_bit"><h4 class="cms_widget_post_header"><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d">%s</a></h4>
            <p class="cms_widget_post_content">%s</p>
         </div>
        ',$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format);

}
$output = $output_bits;

ob_end_clean();​
