[Plone-UI] Navigation for news

[Marc Pampols]

Ok! :) well, AFAIK you can't easy create this dynamically in Plone, but you
can try something like this... 2 ideas:

(Maybe there is a better option, but...)

1.-

First you have to create a python script that dynamically creates the
collection objects with createObject()


Then you can create a cronjob in zope, to execute every X days a Python
script, adding clock-server to your zope.conf or buildout, in case of
buildout:
zope-conf-additional =
    <clock-server>
      method /your_python_script
      period
      user admin
      password admin
      host localhost
    </clock-server>


2.-

Create all years and setup every one with a publish date, so the 2008
collection will show up when its 01 JAN 2009
