Blog Calendar Reload ComponentModule

The component comes with CB and joomlacomments integration and has all options you must want to have:

-Choose articles from all sections and categories or choose the sections and categories to work with.
-Show author name or username, linked or not to CB profile.
-You can select if you want to show fulltext, introtext or cut the text in a specified number of words followed of "read more" (when cut the text you can also choose if you want to clean xhtml tags or not).
-The rest of options are all you can find for a joomla's article and you can choose your own settingsfor the component or use global configuration from your joomla site.

Plugins in articles are not working! The component only displays the code like this: {plugin's code here}

Smart complement!
I would have a question: how can be solved, that let the calendar not display it based on the time of the making articles (created), but according to the end of the publication (publish_down)?
Thank You!
Great module that works very well, but I installed it on a rockettheme template (refraction) with joomlaworks superblogger and couldn't work out why google refused to index my site.

After running it through xenu I found the module was producing thousands of useless urls (the server slowed to a snails pace whilst xenu ran the link request) nearly 3000!

I'm not sure if it was a problem mixing with superblogger as the result was the same with superblogger turned off, but there's something on my site it disagrees with.
Great job. Thanx.
This is a great component. I just tested it on my Joomla 1.5.10 Chinese installaion. The Admin and Site language were all set to Simplified Chinese (zh-CN).

The module show me a calendar, but the week names are all unreadable. They are not proper Chinese names, nor English abbreviation.

I think the author need to improve the date functions. Thanks.
I have been waiting for a good blog calendar for Joomla. This one allows me to display by date (for active blogs) or by year/month with counts (for less active blogs). It also gives me a EDIT CSS link on the module so don't have to go hunt this down.

Finally there is a good blog calendar for Joomla. The module is good and stylish, and I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it shows both a calendar view and a list of years and months! The module links to the component which provides clear pages listing articles by date. Some css styles are Joomla standard styles and others can be modified easily. The only two things that I think could be better are a couple of tag ids for non-standard css styling of the component output, and a support forum or email in English.
