posting calendar part 2 Options

[nelce]

hey, so my posting calendar is still not working. previously, we came to the conclusion that perhaps because xanga was displaying both may & june entries on the same page, the back and forward buttons of the calendar was not functioning properly. well now that only june entries are displayed on the first page, the posting calendar is STILL not allowing me to go back to may.

if no one has any insight on how to solve this problem, is there anyway to use the basic posting calendar as you see on this xanga: http://www.xanga.com/TheTheologiansCafe ?

btw, my xanga site is http://xanga.com/nelce

i'm thinking about changing it to the basic calendar cuz that one works just fine. but i don't know what the code is for that one...<$Calendar$> displays the calendar you currently see on my xanga. thanks..

View source works wonders. And no one will complain because it's a basic feature of xanga.

Replace the USERNAME parts with your own username. One drawback here:
Your selected date will always be the same. It won't change day by day. And you have to add years manually, but that's easy enough if you know a little about forms.

[nelce]

yeah, i tried view source...and because of the selected being the same, i decided against using that code...i was wondering if there was any other way to get it on there so it functions like the posting calendar for the users who don't use skins...

[talcumpowder]

I don't understand why it would matter. It just changes to the current date, which isn't very useful. I mean, honestly, the page with that particular entry should be staring you in the face (unless you posted 6 times in one day, which would be rather foolish).
You could always change it once a month to every new month. Which, frankly, I should think would be a lot more practical. I mean, I don't post very often... But I do post more than once a month. Usually. -coughs- I have a bad habit of forgetting passwords.
