[ewiki] Re: Blogging (calendar commit)

I've committed the changes I can, but some need disscussion (and probably
revision)

Particularly I would like your input on my decision to make the calendar
page divider configurable.  I did this by implementing a set of defines like
so:

define("EWIKI_NAME_DIVIDER", "_");
define("CALENDAR_NAME_DIVIDER", EWIKI_NAME_DIVIDER);
define("CALENDAR_PAGE_TITLE_REGEX","/^(.*?)".preg_quote(CALENDAR_NAME_DIVIDE
R) ."\d{8}$/");

My calendar title plugin respects these settings similarly but also
redefines them.  

The search call also respects them like this:

&& ($result = ewiki_database("SEARCH", array("id" =>
$id.CALENDAR_NAME_DIVIDER.'20')))

The .'20' is a horrible hack that I would like to fix before I commit.  It
is there(and in a few other places) to differentiate between calendar pages
and other types of subpages such as from my aview_posts plugin which appear
as $id.'_POST'.$postnumber.  Perhaps it is necessary to check the SEARCH
results against the regex, but if there is another option please tell me.
