MT-SomeDays 3.7.0 »

I've just released version 3.7.0 of MT-SomeDays. Only minor enhancements are included in this release, mostly as they relate to the creation of Movable Type-like calendars.

The <$MTSDSatDate$> tag has been added for use when you include the padding attribute on your <MTSomeDays> container tag. Previously, if you wanted to display a calendar header while using padding, it was not possible without hardcoding that information, because the working date would be the date of the padding - not the date of the month you'd like to display. Naturally, this was a severe limitation. By using the <$MTSDSatDate$> tag, you can instead include the date of the Saturday at the end of the first week, which should resolve this problem for everyone.

Furthermore, the <MTSDIfMonthEnd> and <MTSDIfMonthStart> tags were working, but they did not take the value of the padding attribute into consideration. Now if you are using these tags, they will break instead on the padding, and not on the month itself.

These two enhancements make it possible to easily create calendars for any month that resemble those in the default Movable Type templates.

Announcement. Download.

Chad, I can't get this to work. I've used other plugins fine on my site, but when I install this and follow the 'create a calendar' example (or any of the others for that matter), nothing shows up at all in my blog. If I do a "view source" the area where the code should be is just a large blank area. Permissions and directories are set fine, nothing in the log files.
