Today in History [Deleted]

I didn't get you right, do you want multiple events shown on the side bar?

I second that. I also would like to have more than one event shown on the sidebar...

I'm unable to reproduce the issue you mention, perhaps you can provide a detailed error log, xf-history table log was renamed in version 2.0 so that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Above problem fixed! Did a new install on my backup XF forum and disabled https, but this addon is NOT working on SSL, i.e same problem as "Mouth".

I see the sidebar block, but it contains no content.

If your XF site is https/ssl, then this add-on doesn't work. The data source, numbersapi.com, site is not https and most browsers will thus refuse to load the external script ...

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://site.com/forum/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script 'http://numbersapi.com/4/15/date?write'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

Same SSL website here. Nothing displays.

Correct. As I reported, it does not work for *any* https sites because of security restrictions in recent browsers that will block loading scripts from non secure (https) sites (as this add-on loads from numbers, which is currently non-secure http only).

I got mine showing on the sidebar, just in the index though, and my site uses https.

Yeah, you can do a security override/bypass. Users won't though, and not should they.

I forgot to say that I'm using my own history facts, the ones I've written myself. I don't know if this has anything to do with this issue.

 

[Marcel Broekema]

redirect to external http script (non-ssl) from own https forum WILL NOT work!
So this add-on does NOT work on XF forums without ssl ( i.e. https:/xxx/xxx/xxx)

megabosx updated Today in History with a new update entry:

Add server side history event fetching to overcome ssl constraints

This update adds the capability to fetch history events on the server side. If you haven't declared custom events for a specific date, the default fallback is to fetch an event for the date from an external server, traditionally this was done on the client side but due to the external resource not supporting https some browsers prevented the fetch from happening, this fixes the issue by moving the fetch to happen on the server when the response is being prepared.

This approach has some...

Does it utilise caching so a server side external request and wait time is not occurring for every page load?

Not implemented at the moment, working on caching and pre-fetching in the background

I didn't bypassed nor overridden anything, in fact, I haven't touched a single line of code. I'd never encourage anyone to do that either.
