-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That was awesome. It took a long time to get working exactly like I wanted and then I moved to Includes and such.
I wound up writing the Regex on the category page and then just including that in a few other places. One thing I would strongly suggest modifying is the category names. Instead of CategoryEvents I would suggest CategoryCypriotTeamEvents. It's longer, but avoids the need to worry about conflicts. Doing this allowed me to change from using regex based on the path to just based on the year. So - for events by date section, my regex is 2008|2009. That was I only show something that's happening in this year and next year. It's also looks nicer to only have the year bold faced. (Done in regex match) Doing it this way also allowed me to not need to apply any regex to my past/future events. This give me no bold faced text at all. One thing I wish we could change is the stylesheet applied to that hideous calendar. It took me about 10 min to create a nice calendar using firebug. I hope this helps somebody that follows this as well. Longer page load time, but SO worth it. Thanks for coming up with this.
