[[!meta title="Javascript equivalent of plugin 'calendar'"]]
|
|
[[!tag patch]]
|
|
|
|
Hello,
|
|
we ([[Grésille|http://www.gresille.org]]) have a calendar (built using the [[calendar|plugins/calendar]] plugin) in the sidebar of our website. This caused the whole website to be rebuilded each night, and we did not like it. So I wrote a javascript equivalent of the calendar plugin.
|
|
|
|
Here are the differences compared to the [[calendar|plugins/calendar]] plugin.
|
|
|
|
* Pros
|
|
* No need to rebuild the page containing the calendar each time day changes, or
|
|
a page (indexed by the calendar) is added, changed or deleted. This is
|
|
particularly useful if you want to have this calendar in the sidebar.
|
|
* Handles the case where several pages appear the same day: a popup appear to let user choose the day he wants.
|
|
* Smooth navigation among months.
|
|
* Neutral
|
|
* Most of options are defined in Ikiwiki's setup files instead of the options
|
|
of the directive.
|
|
* Cons
|
|
* As a consequence, every calendar of the wiki must index the same set of pages.
|
|
* Javascript :( .
|
|
|
|
You can see this plugin in action on [[our website|http://www.gresille.org]]. To see what happens when several pages happens on the same day, check the 15th of March 2012.

|
I do not know how contributions are processed, but if you want to include this plugin in Ikiwiki, I made a copy of Ikiwiki repository, with this new plugin (as well as the documentation for the plugin and the directive).
