Bert Garcia: When all you have is a keyboard

I’ve been wondering what the best way to get rid of that comma was! And that archive method is interesting. So you have an archives section, and then created articles for each year, and set the section landing so that the most recent year would be displayed? And I’m a bit confused about how 404s are prevented—could you elaborate?

Thanks for the info. :)

I was using jnm_categories, then I came upon rah_function.

Yes, that’s the way it’s done.

And I’m a bit confused about how 404s are prevented—could you elaborate?

When I launched the site, my permlink mode was /year/month/day/title, a few months back, I changed it to just /title. Visitors were coming in and getting the 404 page, I looked at zem_redirect as a solution, but it seems to be abandoned. After I created the new site, I noticed that visitors were now being shown the archive page for the year instead.

Thanks for asking :)

So the redirect just sort of… happens? Is it leftover from the previous permlink mode? I’m just curious about how Txp makes the choice to redirect there instead of showing a 404.

Yeah, here’s a link to an article: http://bertgarcia.com/terrafirma2

This also works: http://bertgarcia.com/terrafirma2/wtf

That’s just the way it works, the devs could give you a definite answer as to why.

Ah, alright. Thanks again. :)
