FIX - Ephemerids, layout problem

in block-Ephemerids.php

changed line 40 from:

Code:

$content .= "$row[content]";

to:

Code:

$content .= "$row[content]<br>";

this fixes a problem where only the first entry (row) for a given date would display correctly. Any subsequent enties (rows) for that same date would format incorrectly as the year for row3 would be appended to the end of the information for row2 when displayed. Year for row4 would be appended to the end of the information for row3 and so on...

same file block-Ephemerids.php .. slightly different display option

if you change lines 39 and 40 to read like this:

Code:

$content .= "<b>$row[yid]</b> - ";
$content .= "$row[content]<br>";

you get an output that looks like this when displayed:

1899 - Aspirin was patented by chemist Felix Hoffman
1900 - Gottlieb Daimler, German motor engineer who invented the motorcycle, died
1930 - Clarence Birdseye's first frozen foods went on sale in Springfield, Massachusetts, US
1937 - Valentina Tereshkova, Soviet astronaut, was born
1987 - A cross-channel ferry left Zeebrugge, Belgium, with its bow doors open it capsized suddenly outside the harbour, killing over 180 passengers
