Problem

Could you give me a more useful calendar with using DPL like the description. The date format of the extension is not good for DPL now. We can use it with Preloader Extension if it can create new pages with a specific namespace.--Roc michael 16:55, 1 December 2007 (CET)

I understand that

• you want to have a date syntax like YYYY/MM/DD
• you want to save pages automatically to a (configurable) namespace liek "Calendar:".

Both is very easy to do. Just replace the "-" in the date patterns by a "/" (e.g. in Template:Calendar month) and add "titleprefix=Calendar:" in the creation dialogue (you must use the version of inputbox which comes together with DPL).

Hi Gero. I know you are very busy. Thanks for your answer.

First, I think people would more like a easier (or GUI) way to use a calendar then the current way you mentioned. That's the reason why you make the page Template:Catlist for most people. Isn't it?

Becouse you have enhanced some extensions to fit DPL using and I think a good calendar kit is very important(or useful) for most people, I just guess that you may interest in enhancing the Calendar and some DPL users would be very happy to get the benefit.

Then, I would like the GUI calendar having a custom namespace not the calendar namespace and it would be a parser function extension.

Finally, I don't care of either the calendar useing "yyyy-mm-dd" or use "yyyy/mm/dd/" but if it's switchable, it would be more better. Right? --Roc michael 03:03, 2 December 2007 (CET)
