Help/CalendarPlugin

The Help:n | Help: can be used to generate a monthly calendar in a wiki page. It's handy for PhpWiki:PersonalWikis.

Individual dates in the calendar link to specially named wiki pages. The names for the "day pages" are by default formed by appending the date to the pagename on which the calendar appears.

_This feature was inspired by Help:a |http://manila.userland.com/], and first implemented by PhpWiki:GaryBenson. It was later implemented as a Help:WikiPlugin by PhpWiki:JeffDairiki._

Usage:

<?plugin Calendar?>

Patch for 1.2

PhpWiki:GaryBenson wrote the first calendar implementation for PhpWiki 1.2. (Since 1.2 doesn't support plugins, it uses a #CALENDAR# token as a trigger.) Gary provides a screenshot at screenshot, a Help:h | http://inauspicious.org/files/phpwiki/phpwiki-1.2.0-calendar.patch] (on 1.2.0), and

Help:r .php | http://inauspicious.org/files/phpwiki/calendar.php]

(which renders a view of the year.)
