A 'monthly content' tab for web page

[WebJoel]

I am in the early stages of building a site that will feature multiple user's content both hosted 'on-site' and URL links to content on other sites, and want to have a 'submission calendar' tool like in the image I will attach that shows the date the submission was entered.

Just 'monthly' (don't need weekly or daily, just grouped by month would suffice) so that anyone can click the "MONTH" and it expands to show whatever entries were added, and upon click the entry populates to the main body vis the red arrow.

I suspect that this will be more than just HTML/CSS and javascript. If anyone knows of a script or utility that can do this, leave a note here please.

Hi WebJoel,
For such an archive, you would require a Content management system that would take the database records and output accordingly, using PHP or alternative server-side language. There are many free tools on the net which should hopefully provide the features that you require.

Hope this helps in some way.

Yes this is helpful. I suspected it would involved a CMS. I'm looking for a recommendation and/or link to somewhere that has a good, simple & easy to install one for the novice.

I'd probably have a look at the free CMS sites and look at the features each one has, and if it fits in with what you're trying to do. I do quite a lot of researching when i'm looking for scripts or such like. Hope this helps :)
