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 tricky part of this is that while calendar defaults to showing the -current day and month, ikiwiki is a wiki compiler, which only rebuilds -pages if they have changed. So to keep the calendar up-to-date, wikis that -include it need to be periodically rebuilt, typically by cron at midnight. - -The month format calendar simply links to any page posted on each -day of the month. The year format calendar links to archive pages, with -names like `archives/2007` (for all of 2007) and `archives/2007/01` -(for January, 2007). For this to work, you'll need to create these archive -pages. They typically use [[inline]] to display or list pages created in -the given time frame. - -## usage - -* `type` - Used to specify the type of calendar wanted. Can be one of - "month" or "year". The default is a month view calendar. -* `pages` - Specifies the [[PageSpec]] of pages to link to from the - month calendar. Defaults to "*". -* `archivebase` - Configures the base of the archives hierarchy. The - default is "archives". Note that this default can also be overridden - for the whole wiki by setting `archivebase` in ikiwiki's setup file. -* `year` - The year for which the calendar is requested. Defaults to the - current year. -* `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. -* `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. -* `months_per_row` - In the annual calendar, number of months to place in - each row. Defaults to 3. - -## CSS - -The output is liberally sprinkled with classes, for fine grained CSS -customization. - -* `month-calendar` - The month calendar as a whole. -* `month-calendar-head` - The head of the month calendar (ie,"March"). -* `month-calendar-day-head` - A column head in the month calendar (ie, a - day-of-week abbreviation). -* `month-calendar-day-noday`, `month-calendar-day-link`, - `month-calendar-day-nolink`, `month-calendar-day-future`, - `month-calendar-day-this-day` - The day squares on the month calendar, - for days that are not in the month (before or after the month itself), that - don't have links, that do have links, that are in the future, or are that - are the current day, respectively. -* `Sunday`, `Monday`, `Tuesday`, ... - Each day square is also given a class - matching its (localised) day of week, this can be used to highlight - weekends. -* `year-calendar` - The year calendar as a whole. -* `year-calendar-head` - The head of the year calendar (ie, "2007"). -* `year-calendar-subhead` - For example, "Months". -* `year-calendar-month-link`, `year-calendar-month-nolink`, - `year-calendar-month-future`, `year-calendar-this-month` - The month - squares on the year calendar, for months with stories, - without, in the future, and currently selected, respectively.
