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 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.
