`Description'

Display the records associated with a date field included in the period specified by the date argument of the cgi-bin. A calendar of the period is displayed for each period that contains at least one record and the number of records is calculated for each period. The period used to find records to display can be different from the period used to find entries displayed in the calendar. This is achieved by using the index_date and records_date cgi-bin parameters. To improve performances, the number of entries for each period is cached in a temporary table. The cache is refreshed every 24h. If an immediate refresh is necessary, the cdate_count action may be used to flush the cache.

`Template files'

`cdate_default.html'

See section cdate_default.html.

`cdate_<template>.html'

This template will be used if the template cgi-bin parameter is set. This is typically the case if you want a different display to display all the years of the current period, only one year, only one month or only one day. See the template parameter description below.

`Parameters'

`name (mandatory)'
