Calendar.htt version 2.3.1

If I select 2 as the max number of thumbnails in Calendar, I'm seeing an odd result. See attached. Looks like 4 is the proper answer.

Very minor point. Clicking on a thumbnail in the calendar takes you back to the index page. I was curious if it was to link to the specific thumb or slide image.

I must admit I wasn't brave enough to try Calendar.htt so far. It was just taken over from another skin. Great it shows some signs of life. :)

I have removed the max thumbnail setting, so it will show the first 24 images on a given date. This was necessary because Plain is not JSON-based, so you can link to a date-filtered page. Also, I might have to implement the "show lightbox image" function (e.g. index.html#img=imagename.jpg) in order to link to the large image. Or perhaps I can add a lightbox to the calendar page too (like the "newimages"). What do you think?

So far, I like the calendar as it shows photo activity. What was happening on what days. Most thumbnails on the calendar are too small to even see what the subject is regardless if there are 3 or more thumbnails. And if you are looking at the album on a phone, images are too tiny to be identified.

More feedback from other users on what they might use the calendar.htt for is needed.

Trying to link a calendar thumbnail to say its slide seems hopeless unless the album is grouped/sorted solely by date.

I've made the lightbox work on calendar images too.

I have no idea what to do with the small thumbs. On desktops, it's almost okay, but on mobiles it's minuscule. Perhaps we could dump the table format there.

I like it. On my 21" screen, the thumbs are easily discernable along with all the empty dates where no photos were taken. On my iPhone/Safari/Chrome though only the the date with thumbnails show (screenshot attached). In both cases clicking on any thumb takes you to the matching slide. Pretty cool!

A maximum of 24 seems reasonable. I'll leave this as unanswered for now pending some other feedback.


Still think the Empty page > New page needs some minor work as well as rewording/removing some htt comments that currently read "Put in the root folder of your album." Plain handles that autmatically.

Image 38 from 18 September 2020 also appears as image 58 from 23 June 2021. The image only appears once in the album, the first shown in the Architecture folder.

That's fun. Try 7/31/18 and 6/23/21.

There are only 12 months in a year, not 31! ;)

This is the kind of outrage that occurs when a country goes metric.

Yes, the mobile view shows only the days with thumbs, not the empty ones. Otherwise, there would be tons of empty days you just need to scroll through.

I've removed now the unnecessary comments from the Contents.htt.

Yes, that's the same image, but different files. I'll remove that.

And the best is yyyy/MM/dd or yyyy-MM-dd, as we use it. You can simply order it alphabetically, and no confusion about the day and month (important with the "best before" dates).
