Roads Less Taken

After trying to figure out why the calendar in Rublog wasn’t working I eventually managed to gather enough info using Google that I realized it could be a problem only the Rublog from CVS has. And hey, yup it was. Sigh.

Now, why did I use the CVS version fom the start? I think I read somewhere that I should use it to get access to the Wordpress styles etc, but perhaps my memory fails. :)

Anyway, the diff between Rublog in CVS and the 1.0 release is only a few lines, and sure enough they have to do with the date parsing in the URL:

        diff rublog-cvs/Request.rb rublog/Request.rb
        197,198c196,197
        <       elsif @path.sub!(%r{\b(\d\d\d\d(/\d\d?(/\d\d?)?)?)$}, '') ||
        <         @date_spec = $1
        ---
        >       elsif @path.sub!(%r{\d\d\d\d(/\d\d?(/\d\d?)?)?$}, '')
        >         @date_spec = $&

While browsing around in the code the itch to reimplement Rublog in Squeak started again. But no promises.
