Quick link to post to date (backdated) from archive pages

Title:
Quick link to post to date (backdated) from archive pages

Area:
calendar, entries

Summary:
Easy post-to-this-date link for journal owner viewing their archives.

Description:
This suggestion is really only useful for lifebloggers, people who are importing an external journal manually, and people who are looking through their archives to see if they've posted something and/or where something they know they haven't posted should go before posting it.

On any given day archive page of a personal journal, provide a link visible to the journal owner that leads to the update page, and pre-fills in the date from the archive page and ticks the Date Out of Order tickbox (and the current time, since a time has to come from somewhere, right? Or maybe leave the current time blank?). This makes filling in missing entries and events from the past a lot easier.

Obvious issues:
People may start using the day-post link in preference to the regular post links, and/or not know how to post in order
People may disregard the clear warning on the Date Out of Order box and be irritated when their entries don't show up on reading pages
Not sure you actually can pass date and Date Out of Order to the update page
Work-to-usefulness tradeoff (who all would even want this besides me?)

Context-sensitive view journal link post-update for backdated entries

[azurelunatic]

Title:
Context-sensitive view journal link post-update for backdated entries

Area:
entries, update, sane UI

Summary:
When you make an entry on a day that is not today or a reasonable facsimile thereof (when there's a chance it's not in lastn), 'View updated journal' should take you to the day you updated on.

Description:
So when you make an entry dated to a day that is not today, it will only sometimes show up on the lastn (most recent entries) main page of your journal. Nevertheless, the post-posting-entry page will show a "view your updated journal" link to lastn.

When the Date Out of Order toggle is on, the server should check for the date and make the View your updated journal link context-sensitive, and link you to the day on which you posted.

Benefits include 99% less cursing from me every time I make a backdated entry, click 'view updated journal', and don't see my entry. When I do remember, I have to click the link to view the entry, then click the day link from there, and I get annoyed every time I have to do that.

Drawbacks might include someone who for whatever reason wanted to go to their main journal page on purpose after posting to the past, but there are other available links such as the great honking username up in the site header, and there's no 'go to that day' link.

You can't, at this time, post dated out of order to a comm.
