Hi,


how would you like this?
....................................

A dhtml nav block that creates an expandable hierarchy of nodes, based
on creation date

Most common look for the block would be


Date Block
-----------
2003
   January=20
   February


Eventually, it could even set to satisfy the most neurotic users, via an
interface

a) User sets $granularity =3D 'day'=20


Date Block
-----------
2003 =20
   January
       14

b) User sets $granularity =3D 'minute'

Date Block
-----------
2003 =20
   January
       14
         13 hours
            25 minutes=20
=20

    =20
Implementation could go two different ways

- If the module is enabled, every time a node is created its creation
dated is evaluated and ad hoc vocabularies or terms are created if don't
exist already. Then the node is automagically tagged with the
corresponding terms.

Advantages: The taxonomy_dhtml module would take care of the navigation
block natively


- If the module is enabled, the nav block is created evaluating the
existing nodes' dates.=20

Advantages: No need to re-tag the modules with terms that are already
implicit in the creation date field.

Any feedback greatly appreciated :)
