TNG Today Discussion / Notes

** This documentation is incomplete while 2.2 is in beta **

Today.php provides "DataBox" tags that, when included within php pages, produce boxes of data pulled from your TNG database. The purpose is to produce small lists of data to be included in your genealogy home page, or any other TNG genealogy page.

Today.php script *MUST* be included in display page for DataBox Tags to function.

<?php include '/[path to file]/today.php'; ?>
The path in the include statement must point to the location of the today.php file

example: <?php include '/gen/tngToday/today.php'; ?>

DataBox Tags available:
getBirthToday(), getMarriedToday(), getDeathsToday(), longestLived(), getStats() and diagToday().

Each DataBox Tag can use arguments; if no option is desired, then include a "z" for zero (eg: getBirthToday(z); ), default width is 100%)

tngToday CacheNew!
tngToday now can use CACHE to decrease server load and INCREASE speed.
All files ending in .cache must have permissions set to 666 or 777 depending on your servers' config.

Tree Overide ArgumentNew!
We have added the ability to define a specific tree within a single tag call, for example:

<?php getBirthToday('fx|SMIT'); ?>

includes the argument SMIT seperated by the pipe, this overides the default tree defined within the config file. Note, the value must be the treeID and not the tree name, it must be at the end of the argument string and must begin with the pipe. You may simply leave out this part and the tag will use the default tree as defined within the config. SMIT is the treeID for a specific tree on our test site, your treeID's will vary.

** ALL TAG CALLS NOW REQUIRE ARGUMENTS TO BE INCLOSED IN SINGLE QUOTES **

** Known issues: Currently, using multiple instances of dataTags for different trees can NOT be done while using cache **

See examples of use below.
