i don't see any problems with that. regarding date-parsing, i always used SimpleDateFormat() and tryEval() for parsing, looked like the easiest way to do it. and thanks for taking the job!

I've implemented this and the changes are in the CVS (but not on in the version running on antville.org yet.)

As I said, I didn't actually touch the story/edit.skin, so new weblogs don't have the createtime editor field by default. To enable it, you have to add this to your story/edit skin:

<tr> <td class="small">story timestamp:</td> <td nowrap><% this.createtime as="editor" %></td> </tr>

From what I saw playing around, this could be a very cool feature! I guess we'll want the weblog frontpage not to display stories in the future, but only stories from today or earlier. Me thinks that this would be the desired behaviour both for calendar style websites and ordinary weblogs with post-to-the-future behaviour.

for implementing that. and yes, the weblog-frontpage shouldn't display stories of the future (nevertheless i think the days in the future carrying stories should be appear as link in the calendar).

this is the bomb. really. i'm just thinking about all the cool things that could be done with this. imagine a macro, say, <% weblog.futurestorylist days="5" %> for the frontpage. you could use antville for homepages of clubs etc., calendar, weblog, archive, discussion group--everything is possible in one organic site.

to see you happy. ;-)

i put this in my editor skin, but the createtime field is displayed as text only - will it come up as an input control someday?
