Timeline/Hisorical Events Patch

[Thomas52]

Some folks have expressed an interest in the "historical events" patch, so here's my personal version 'beta.1.' (In 'Patches' under 'Tracker.') Improvements, suggestions, comments welcome.

Thomas, a very good idea. It would be even better if we could all do the same, then others could cut/paste whatever they need from each different file. Unfortunately on Source Forge only the original submitter (or perhaps admin) can add files to a single tracker item.

Can anyone suggest an alternative? If there's no other way to do it here, I would be happy to open a place on www.pgvthemes.com for it.

I have updated the "Timeline/Historical Events" (American version) file somewhat, adding the Alaska Purchase, Transcontinental Railroad completion, acquisition of California & New Mexico, etc.  The second file, "histo2.en.php" is the same with the U.S. Presidents added (which I think makes it look too 'busy.') Simply change the name by deleting the "2" if you prefer that version. The files can be found in the 'patches' section & should be added to the /languages folder. As kiwi_pgv  earlier mentioned:

The title of this 'patch' may have been misleading. histo.en.php is not designed to show on the timeline chart. The only place the information appears is on the Individual Facts & Detials tab for each individual. Once the file exists you will get a new 'checkbox,. Tick that and the relevant historic events within the persons lifetime will be listed among the their other revents (birth marriage, death etc).

I forgot to mention, I'll be glad to add other versions for other countries (English language only) if you email them to me with a note as to the appropriate country or nationality.  I will add them with distinguishing names, i,e, "histo.en.php.canada" etc.  Any version can be easily modified with any text editor.
Other languages should be submitted directly to the patches section.
