The calendar directive is supplied by the calendar plugin.

This directive displays a calendar, similar to the typical calendars shown on some blogs.

setup

The calendar 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 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).

While you can insert calendar directives anywhere on your wiki, including in the sidebar, you'll also need to create these archive pages. They typically use this directive to display a calendar, and also use inline to display or list pages created in the given time frame.

The ikiwiki-calendar command can be used to automatically generate the archive pages. It also refreshes the wiki, updating the calendars to highlight the current day. This command is typically run at midnight from cron.

An example crontab:

0 0 * * * ikiwiki-calendar ~/ikiwiki.setup "posts/* and !*/Discussion"

Note that this default can also be overridden for the whole wiki by setting archivebase in ikiwiki's setup file. Calendars link to pages under here, with names like "2010/04" and "2010". These pages can be automatically created using the ikiwiki-calendar program.
