NAME
ikiwiki-calendar - create calendar archive pages
SYNOPSIS
ikiwiki-calendar [-f] your.setup [pagespec] [startyear [endyear]]
DESCRIPTION
ikiwiki-calendar creates pages that use the ikiwiki/directive/calendar
directive, allowing the archives to be browsed one month at a time,
with calendar-based navigation.
You must specify the setup file for your wiki. The pages will be
created inside its srcdir, beneath the archivebase directory used by
the calendar plugin (default "archives").
To control which pages are included on the calendars, a
ikiwiki/PageSpec can be specified. The default is all pages, or the
pages specified by the comments_pagespec setting in the config file. A
pagespec can also be specified on the command line. To limit it to only
posts in a blog, use something like "posts/* and !*/Discussion".
It defaults to creating calendar pages for the current year. If you
specify a year, it will create pages for that year. Specify a second
year to create pages for a span of years.
Existing pages will not be overwritten by this command by default. Use
the -f switch to force it to overwrite any existing pages.
CRONTAB
While this command only needs to be run once a year to update the
archive pages for each new year, you are recommended to set up a cron
job to run it daily, at midnight. Then it will also update the
calendars to highlight the current day.
An example crontab:
0 0 * * * ikiwiki-calendar ~/ikiwiki.setup "posts/* and !*/Discussion"
TEMPLATES
This command uses two templates to generate the pages,
calendarmonth.tmpl and calendaryear.tmpl.
