Does it pull form Wikipedia?

Does it pull form Wikipedia?

No it pulls from http://numbersapi.com/
but that's a good suggestion, i can add that option

Can you add your own custom history? Would like to use this but cater it to history in hockey.

While I really am liking this addon, I was playing on the source site to see what varied facts get shown.

Second number I tried, 43, was wrong facts. I hope they keep up on keeping interesting facts accurate over time.

That is not supported at the moment, working on that

This is a cool idea, I'd love to setup a This Day in Civil War History widget for my forum. Also, if I'd be able to insert the widget into Xenporta in some way, that would be helpful! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I see the sidebar block, but it contains no content.
Other than enabled at /admin.php?options/list/todayinhistory is there anything else required?

If you inspect the html section of the block on your browser what does it show?

Installed, but it doesn't show anything

Installed, but it doesn't show anything

it fetches events from an external source, if installed on a local xenforo version make sure there's an internet connection

 

[megabosx]

    <div class="section">
        <div class="secondaryContent">
            <div class="visitorText">
                <h3>Today in History </h3>
                <div class="stats">
                    <script src="http://numbersapi.com/4/1/date?write"></script>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

are you testing on a local installation or on a public server, it seems like it's unable to make an external request to the data source, can you check your internet connection
