What's NEW archive calendar
Hi!

Has any1 come across a MOD that would create a visual CALENDAR of past WHAT'S NEW issues?

I noticed the New/ directory is full of past "what's new" issues, not being used unless some sort of calendar system call them.

Any1?

Thanks!

Simply bump the $db_new_cutoff variable if you want to show more links.

In terms of a calendar, no, no one has done that. Yet, it would not be that simple to construct, at least in graphic format.

Hi!

Thanks for the fast answer :)

What about implementing Matt's Calendar script to use it with the What's New archives?

Any1? ;)

Possibly...that could work. But in terms of the file name formats, you would probably have to tweak Matt's script.

Although to be honest, I personally (along with other programmers/users/etc) believe that Matt's scripts are a pile of doggy crap because many if not all are not Y2K compliant, uses archaic and poorly structured Perl codes (many are based on 3.0 and 4.0 versions of Perl), and many of them are non-novice-friendly.
