I want to show the news on daily basis. I tried to use the Daily module, but the module only allow one news per day. I want to show all the news posted by the users for the given date, with the calender control (like the one provided with the Daily module) and user should be able to navigate between the news day-wise with the help of that calender control.
Can anyone tell me how can I implement this functionality.
Thanks & Regards,
Prashant

Scheduler, views
The simplest solution could be to use scheduler module to set the publishing date of the articles and use views to create a list (table, etc.) of the articles which are published the same day.
A professional solution of daily publishing is The New York Observer.
News navigation is the problem not the publication
Thanks for the reply.
In my case, the website news will be posted by the users of the site, and not by the site admin. Also the news posted will be published immediately. So publishing the news on given date is not a problem.
The problem is in displaying and navigating the news. I want to display the news date wise and need to show the calendar control (like the one used in the daily module) for the user to navigate news between the days.
Is there any module that provide this functionality.
Thanks for the new york observer solution, I will see if that can help me to solve my problem.

If I understand correctly, you need collections of news by date. Then you should use views to create these lists, and calendar module if you want a calendar display. There are documentation about this modules at drupal.org.
You may be interested in epublish module - http://drupal.org/project/epublish - too...
(In earlier days there were an archive module in Drupal, but it' removed since version 5)
Hope these can help.
I need to show calendar control separately
Thanks for the replay.
You understand my problem correctly.
I have already tried the calender module and views. But the calender module shows the contents in an calender (which is more appropriate for displaying events or tasks).
What I want to display the news posted separately and the calendar control in the right hand site of the page. And I would like to used calendar control as the one given in the daily module.
I want to show the contents and the calendar control separately because there will be other content related links too other that the date navigation.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards

You should be able to do it
I didn't try it now, but if I remember well, you can create a block for the calendar. So you can show the posts in the content area and the calendar in the sidebar. (There should be some tutors, or some trial end error could help...)
(I've never tried the daily module, so I don't know how it works...)
