If you organize your pages like tasks.2008.12.25 you can very easily
sort them and such. You can also convert them to timestamps, etc. For
example on a page like the above you could do this:
[(time '{p3}/{p4}/{p2}' '%B %d, %Y')]
And get December 25, 2008. Kind of cool.

Time has no clue what to do with mktime. So you won't get any decent
results like this.
Why not just do this:
[form]
Select date: [select Year default='{:calYear}']
[option '2008']2008
[option '2009']2009
[select][select Month default='{:calMonth}']
[option 'January']January
[option 'February']February
[select]
[submit]
[session savedata Month,Year]
[form]
The month is {:Month}, {:Year}.
{::var} is an info var (2 colons). Retrieved from lines like field:
value in the page content.
{:var} is a data var (1 colon). Stored invisibly on a page using the
savedata command
{var} is a system var (0 colons). Set by BoltWire or a config file
Depending on how you want to display your data and all, there may be
better ways to accomplish what you want. Are you going to have each
page a task, and then assign it a data (perhaps changeable) so you can
retrieve certain tasks?
If you want multiple pages for tasks all on the same date you could
use a page naming technique like
tasks.2008.12.25.1000, tasks.2008.12.25.1001, etc (threads, easily automated)
Then for Decembers tasks, just do
[(search group=tasks.2008.12*)]
Lot's of possibilities. Just depends on what you want.
Cheers,
Dan
