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.
