The calendar directive is supplied by the calendar plugin. This plugin requires extra setup. See the plugin documentation for details.

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

examples

[[!calendar  ]]

[[!calendar  type="month" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]

[[!calendar  type="year" year="2005" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]

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). For this to work, you'll need to create these archive pages. They typically use inline to display or list pages created in the given time frame.
