Calendar Plugin 0+5i
Calendar's been updated.
User-visible Interesting Changes, in rough order by interestingness:
- On single-article pageviews, create a calendar for the date of the article (this only works in dynamic mode currently, requires a Blosxom change to give full $path_info support in static mode)
- requires Blosxom
2.0rc1 2.0rc2 or newer
- uses the built-in templating system, including any template plugin that's installed
- cached layouts are keyed based on flavour, so if you have template files that vary by flavour it will actually work now
- variables in templates can be interpolated with ${name} as well as $name
- with the default templates, the current day/month is only a link if there are stories for it
- this_day template split into this_day_link and this_day_nolink
- this_month template split into this_month_link and this_month_nolink
- the default templates are in the 'error' flavour rather than 'html', so they're used for any flavours that don't override them (the same effect was achieved a different way in 0+4i)
- cache is only enabled if the available Storable supports lock_retrieve
- the cache is flushed every time a story is added, not once a day -- this is required for the this_day_link and this_month_link support
Things I'd like to be able to do, but can't reasonably without Blosxom changes:
- use the built-in interpolation system, including any interpolate plugin that's installed
- create months for appropriate dates in static mode
To install:
- download and unzip the plugin.
- Copy it to your plugins directory. Make sure it's world-readable.
- Modify a
head or foot file to include $calendar::calendar, $calendar::month_calendar or $calendar::year_calendar
- Try it out — load your blog in your browser. If you see a category tree, great!
- Look at your error log. Verify you have an 'enabled' line.
- If you're wanting to verify caching is working, load the page again, and now look for an error log line "calendar debug 1: Using cached state"
- Once you're satisfied it's working, edit the
$debug_level configuration variable to 0. There are a couple other configuration variables you may wish to change, too.
- Drop me a note to let me know you're using it; if you're having problems, let me know and I might be able to help. If everything's working okay, please let me know that, too.
