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.
+Since ikiwiki is a wiki compiler, to keep the calendar up-to-date,
+wikis that include it need to be preiodically refreshes, typically by cron
+at midnight. Example crontab:
+
+ 0 0 * * * ikiwiki -setup ~/ikiwiki.setup -refresh
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
* `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
+* `pages` - Specifies the [[ikiwiki/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
