I'm building a new theme. I'm now working on to figure out which file is needed to show the "whole" post for a specific date which displays when you click on a date in the built in WordPress calendar widget?

Somebody who has a clue which it is?

Are you talking about the calendar sidebar widget? – bungeshea Jan 7 at 8:04

archive.php is used to display author, search, category, tag and date archives. As clicking on a calendar day will take you to the date archive for that day, then the file you're looking for is archive.php.

More specifically, WordPress will check for these files in this order, stopping when it finds one of these files in your active theme's folder:

  1. date.php
  2. archive.php
  3. index.php
