I want to create something like an event chronicle. I'm not sure, if I put it correctly into words. I'll describe it in other words:
a list of events, sorted chronological. Each event shall be an own node (with description, more details, etc.).
The list shall look like "DATE - CATEGORY - TITLE" (table like), so let's say:
03. Aug 2008 - TRIVIA - John Does accident
17. Sep 2008 - FOOBAR - Opening ceremony in Paris
My users shall be able to create new entrys. It should be possible to provide only the year, year and month or the full date. So something like this has to be possible:
2007 - FOOBAR - Launch
01 May 2007 - TRIVIA - New Website
03. Aug 2008 - TRIVIA - John Does accident
Sep 2008 - TRIVIA - TV interview
17. Sep 2008 - FOOBAR - Opening ceremony in Paris
In that order: at first the entries with year only (as if it would be day 0 and month 0), then the entries with month and year (as if the day would be day 0) and after that the entries with full date.
About the categories: the user shall choose between exisiting categories (always only one!) and the visitors shall be able to filter the chronicle, to show only entries of a special category.
Is this possible with the different formats of dates and their sorting?
And how can I implement the whole chronicle?

I think you may have to look
I think you may have to look into the CCK module to create a custom node as per your description and then use taxonomy for the users to choose one category.

Okay, but the problem is the date.
If I create a date cck field, I can fill in: "17.09.2008" but not only "2008" or "09.2008". If I enter that, it automatically converts to the current date.
No one?
