I am serving notice that I am starting work on a calendar plugin inspired by Blosxom's calendar plugin. The current plan is to create a plugin that looks through all the source files matching a certain pagespec, and optionally spit out a month view for the specified month (default to current), or spit out a year view for a given year (defaulting to the current year), of a list of year with posts in them. The output would be a table, with the same CSS directives that the Blosxom plugin used to use (so that I can just reuse my css file). The links would be created to a $config{archivedir}/$year or $config{archivedir}/$year-$month file, which can just have
- \[[inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion and creation_year($year) and creation_month($month)" rss="no" atom="no" show="0"]]
+ \[[!inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion and creation_year($year) and creation_month($month)" rss="no" atom="no" show="0"]]
or some thing to generate a archive of postings.
This plugin is inspired by the calendar plugin for Blosxom, but derivesno code from it. This plugin is essentially a fancy front end to archives of previous pages, usually used for blogs. It can produce a calendar for a given month, or a list of months for a given year. To invoke the calendar, just use the preprocessor directive:
- \[[calendar ]]
+ \[[!calendar ]]
or
- \[[calendar type="month" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]
+ \[[!calendar type="month" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]
or
- \[[calendar type="year" year="2005" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]
+ \[[!calendar type="year" year="2005" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]
The year and month entities in the out put have links to archive index pages, which are supposed to exist already. The idea is to create an archives hierarchy, rooted in the subdirectory specified in the site-wide customization variable, archivebase. archivebase defaults to "archives". Links are created to pages "$archivebase/$year" and "$archivebase/$year/$month". The idea is to create annual and monthly indices, for example, by using something like this sample from my archives/2006/01.mdwn
- \[[meta title="Archives for 2006/01"]]
- \[[inline rootpage="blog" atom="no" rss="no" show="0" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion and creation_year(2006) and creation_month(01)" ]]
+ \[[!meta title="Archives for 2006/01"]]
+ \[[!inline rootpage="blog" atom="no" rss="no" show="0" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion and creation_year(2006) and creation_month(01)" ]]
I'll send in the patch via email.
Since this is a little bit er, stalled, I'll post here the stuff Manoj
mailed me, and my response to it. --[[Joey]]

-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This plugin is inspired by the calendar plugin for Blosxom, but
-derives no code from it. This plugin is essentially a fancy front end
-to archives of previous pages, usually used for blogs. It can produce
-a calendar for a given month, or a list of months for a given year.
-
-The year and month entities in the out put have links to archive index
-pages, which are supposed to exist already. The idea is to create an
-archives hierarchy, rooted in the subdirectory specified in the
-site wide customization variable, I<archivebase>. I<archivebase>
-defaults to C<archives>. Links are created to pages
-C<$archivebase/$year> and C<$archivebase/$year/$month>. If one creates
-annual and monthly indices, for example, by using something like this
-sample from my I<archives/2006/01.mdwn> (warning: line split for
-readability):
-
- \[[meta title="Archives for 2006/01"]]
- \[[inline rootpage="blog" atom="no" rss="no" show="0"
- pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion and creation_year(2006)
- and creation_month(01)"
- ]]
-

-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over
-
-=item B<type>
-
-Used to specify the type of calendar wanted. Can be one of C<month> or
-C<year>. The default is a month view calendar.
-
-=item B<pages>
-
-Specifies the C<pagespec> used to get pages to match for
-linking. Usually this should be something like C<blog/* and !*/Discussion>.
-Defaults to C<*>.
-
-=item B<year>
-
-The year for which the calendar is requested. Defaults to the current year.
-
-=item B<month>
-
-The numeric month for which the calendar is requested, in the range
-1..12. Used only for the month view calendar, and defaults to the
-current month.
-
-=item B<week_start_day>
-
-A number, in the range 0..6, which represents the day of the week that
-the month calendar starts with. 0 is Sunday, 1 is Monday, and so
-on. Defaults to 0, which is Sunday.
-
-=item B<months_per_row>
-
-In the annual calendar, number of months to place in each row. Defaults to 3.
-
-=back
-

-The day squares on the month calendar, for days that don't exist
-(before or after the month itself), that don't have stories, that do
-have stories, that are in the future, or are that currently selected,
-respectively (today).
-
-=item Day-of-week-name
-
-Each day square is also given a class matching its day of week, this
-can be used to high light weekends. This is also localized.

-=head1 CAVEATS
-
-In the month calendar, for days in which there is more than one
-posting, the link created randomly selects one of them. Since there is
-no easy way in B<IkiWiki> to automatically generate index pages, and
-pregenerating daily index pages seems too much of an overhead, we have
-to live with this. All postings can still be viewed in the monthly or
-annual indices, of course. This can be an issue for very prolific
-scriveners.
-
-=cut
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-None Known so far.
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-Since B<IkiWiki> eval's the configuration file, the values have to all
-on a single physical line. This is the reason we need to use strings
-and eval, instead of just passing in real anonymous sub references,
-since the eval pass converts the coderef into a string of the form
-"(CODE 12de345657)" which can't be dereferenced.

--[[Joey]]
-No, you did not. But I am back to hacking on this, and I think I have discovered a major problem with my approach. One of the problems with the current plugin is that the goal of a calendar is to create a calendar, either a month or year based on, that provides links to blogs for all the days in (for the month calendar), and all the months (in a year calendar) in which there have been blog postings. For the monthly calendar, it needs to know the previous and next months where there is a posting, and for the year calendar, it needs to know which of the previous (next) years had entries.

-Now, this means that it needs to know about at _all_ pages that meet the pagespec, and stash that information, before it begins generating the calandar in question, in order to calculate how to create the symlinks. And, of course, all pages that have calendars on them might need to change anytime a page that meets the pagespec is added; and again at midnight, when the current day changes.

-keys %IkiWiki::pagectime followed by pagespec_match would probably do the trick --

- @Interesting = grep (pagespec_match($_,$pagespec), keys %IkiWiki::pagectime);
-When is the %IkiWiki::pagectime hash created? Can it be used in the preprocess hook?
