[plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_date_archive: Date archive listings

Mary · 2007-03-12 10:03:42

I think that may be because the plugin uses MySQL to output the date headings. I’ll look into it.

Hi Mary,

Is there any way in which upm_date_menu could be displayed in the form Month Year instead of having all the months under the heading of a single year? Also, is it possible to format the list so that there is no indent? How would I go about doing it if so?

Thanks in advance,
Jez.

…displayed in the form Month Year…

Customize the month_format attribute.

…instead of having all the months under the heading of a single year?

No, there isn’t. You could, though, craft your own menu using built-in tags (article, posted, if_different). FAQ

…is it possible to format the list so that there is no indent?

CSS. As the plugin Help doc states, you can have classes and ids applied to certain elements. Here are two different sites using my plugin:

As you can see, it’s possible to make the menu and listing look nice and compact.

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your help. I’ve managed to remove the year heading and append it to the end of each year, but I’m unaware of the CSS to remove the indent (see here) – any clues?

Thanks again!
Jez

Pop this in your CSS:

.column1 dl dd {
    margin-left: 0;
}

Jeff, that’s wonderful. Thanks so much. I don’t suppose there is any way to push the list of months up to meet Archives is there? Are the months contained within something forcing it down? (Sorry! My CSS needs some serious polishing..)

Oh, another issue – The archive appears on static pages called About, Submit and Contact, but although I’ve specified section=“Blog” in the tag, clicking on the monthly link only brings up the single, sticky post made in the submit sections instead of the archives of the main blog..?

This isn’t plugin-related, this is a misunderstanding with templating. You need to check what is in your Page used by your “Blog” Section.

Mary could you possibly suggest what I should be looking for? The code in my Blog section reads as such:

<txp:upm_date_menu year_format=”“ section=“Blog” insert_empty_months=“no” month_format=”%B %G” showcount=“yes” />

That exact code is in all of the static pages, yet they only look for entries in those sections..

EDIT: A-ha! Solved it – I was mistaking the ‘section’ attribute for ‘link_to’. Superb.

Apologies, but I still don’t appear to be able to force the months of the list up to meet the ‘Archive’ title above it – does anyone have any suggestions on what CSS might be appropriate? The page is still viewable here for viewing.

The best place to ask these kinds of questions is in the Presentation forum. That way you get assistancer faster and someone else that searches for it will easily find it as well. :)

Thanks Mary. I’ve asked there, but I felt it better to ask here as I believe it’s more to do with how you formatted results in your script as opposed to the CSS I can apply to it.. not to mention, this particular section of the forum appears to be more active..
