How can i access the recent changes of a particular day in the past?
How can i access the recent changes of a particular day in the past? To gain kind of journal functionality. I already tried two Blog extensions ie. http://florian-konnertz.de/wiki/Spezi... but what i want is, more bit of thought stream, similar to platforms like this and friendfeed.
I’m curios

Inappropriate?RecentChanges can not really be used for that. Two reasons:
1) RecentChanges only gos back one week (per default - Wikipedia has the limit set to 30 days) - see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual%...>
2) There is no way to show old events. It's "recent" changes only. There is a "from" parameter, but that means "limit results to changed from that time until now".
I wrote the News extension <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extensi...> to pervert my own mediawiki installation into a pseudo block, and it works well enough, as you can see on the front page of <http://brightbyte.de>, giving a list of latest but not-so-recent updates. But you can not currently look back further, there's no calendaring function to this. I don't know if there are extensions that offer it... maybe there are.
I’m sorry

Inappropriate?thx for answering... okay, you reminded me of the "recentness" of the RC code, heard that before. Your news extension looks quite nice. I guess i am not yet sure what i want or need. Probably i want a calendar, i tried the Semantic Calendar once, will have a look again.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Recent versions of MediaWiki have implemented the ability to view changes made to a site from a specified timestamp. As an example on en.wikipedia.org, we might have http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?t... where only changes since 20:14, 12 August 2009 are being displayed. You will, I'm afraid, have to do more digging to find out how to format your own link in accordance with what time you want to view recent changes from, as I don't know what format of timestamp MediaWiki uses.
I’m happy I can show Florian how to solve this problem!

the format for the from= parameter is simple: YYYYMMddHHmmss. But it will only work for recent dates, since entries on the recentchanges page get thrown away after a while.
