  Hey guys
  was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a block basically for a history site which would be able to each day pick one of a selection of lines of texts detailing particular historical events (which I'd enter) and display it.
  
  I'd settle for one which just displayed a sentence a day (i.e. didn't pick from a selection, and I'd just enter one for each day)
  
  Any info gratefully received! :D

  It's there already, it's called Ephermids or something along those lines.

  Hmmm okay well I'm using that now, but the standard text in the box begins "On a day like today..." with a couple of line breaks, which I'd rather leave out. Is this possible?

  Easiest way would be to edit the lang file at /includes/language/blocks/{language}/ephem.php.
  
  change...
  

  Code

  define('_ONEDAY','On a day like today...');

  
  
  to...
  

  Code

  define('_ONEDAY','');

  
  
  or to whatever you want it to say.
