ROL-473: Page view for specific date should show all entries for
datehttp://opensource2.atlassian.com/projects/roller/browse/ROL-473
This fix is a pretty significant change, so I'm looking for feedback.
To fix this old bug I had to introduce the idea of current day, day,
month and entry pages. That sounds drastic, but all old permalinks
still work (even the old /page/<handle>/YYYYMMDD#<anchor> ones).
Here's how the four types of Roller blog URLs work:
Current day page
/page/<handle>/
On the current day page, Roller will show the most recent N blog
entries (not just those for the day).
At the end of the page, a previous link points to day page of entries
before the ones shown (and the link is displayed as the day's date).
This works exactly as before.
Day page
/page/<handle>/YYYYMMDD
On a day page, Roller will show all of the entries for a specific
day. At the end of the page, a next/previous link allows navigation
to next and previous day of entries (and the links are displayed as
the day's dates). Before, day pages always showed N entries (where
usually N=15), but now they'll show only a day's worth (e.g. 1-3
entries).
Month page
/page/<handle>/YYYYMM
On a month page, Roller will show the most recent N blog entries in
the month. At the end of the page, a previous link points to day page
of entries before the ones shown. This is new; we didn't have month
pages before.
Entry page
/page/<handle>?entry=<anchor>
On an entry page, one entry is shown. The next/prev links link to the
next and previous entries (and the links are displayed as the entry
titles, nicely truncated). This one also works exactly as before.
I also changed the calendar macro/JSP tag, so that the next/previous
month links point to next/previos month links.
I've got this deployed on my blog now, in case you want to experiment
with permalinks, the next/prev stuff and the calendar links.
