jmd_wiki_events: Wikipedia events based on date

Download 0.1

<txp:jmd_wiki_events/> is a rewrite of mdn_wikitoday. It returns a list of Wikipedia events based on either the article’s date or the current date, depending on its context. Wikipedia events are stored in a table for two months before being updated.

Before you use the plugin, ensure your server uses PHP5 and that you’ve installed the table via Extensions>jmd_wiki_events.

Tag overview

Tag	Attributes	Context	Description
<txp:jmd_wiki_events/>	limit, reverse	Page, article	Returns an unordered list of events from Wikipedia.
<txp:jmd_wiki_events_display/>	–	jmd_wiki_events	Same as <txp:jmd_wiki_events/>.
<txp:jmd_wiki_events_link/>	class, title	jmd_wiki_events	Returns a link to the Wikipedia page
<txp:jmd_wiki_events_date/>	format	jmd_wiki_events	Returns the date used for the Wikipedia events

<txp:jmd_wiki_events/>

If the tag is used in an article form, the article’s date will be used for the events. In a page template, the current date will be used.
