Overview

In order to use this software as a blogspace, I really wanted to include a "Today" and "Yesterday" link on the sidebar. The Today link was easy enough to add:

{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}_{{CURRENTDAY}}|Today

Worked easily enough. However, "Yesterday" posed more problems because of moving from "beginings" whether they be the begining of the week, month, or year.

So, I started wandering around and figured out how the various variables worked. Pretzled my brain, but I finally found all of the places where the mod needs to be applied. Now, all I need to add to the sidebar is:

{{YESTERDAYMONTHNAME}}_{{YESTERDAYDAY}}|Yesterday

If you want to make the change to your Wiki to use a "Yesterday" date functions, simply find each of the following php scripts in your files and splice in the folowing lines. Each subheading corresponds to a search text you can use to find out where things need splice in.

				return $varCache[$index] = $wgContLang->getMonthNameGen( date( 'n', $ts - 86400 ) );
			case MAG_YESTERDAYMONTHABBREV:
				return $varCache[$index] = $wgContLang->getMonthAbbreviation( date( 'n', $ts - 86400 ) );
			case MAG_YESTERDAYDAY:

			case MAG_YESTERDAYDAY2:
				return $varCache[$index] = $wgContLang->formatNum( date( 'd', $ts - 86400 ) );
			case MAG_YESTERDAYDAYNAME:
				return $varCache[$index] = $wgContLang->getWeekdayName( date( 'w', $ts - 86400 ) + 1 );
			case MAG_YESTERDAYYEAR:
				return $varCache[$index] = $wgContLang->formatNum( date( 'Y', $ts - 86400 ), true );
			case MAG_YESTERDAYWEEK:
				return $varCache[$index] = $wgContLang->formatNum( (int)date( 'W', $ts ) );
			case MAG_YESTERDAYDOW:
				return $varCache[$index] = $wgContLang->formatNum( date( 'w', $ts ) );
