Thanks Treffynon.

Any chance you’d consider being a hero and taking a swing at the well documented disappearing years bug?

I’ve just been playing with it, and the only problem i’m having is that my dates are appearing in a column on the right hand side, in the same place as the comment count. This is a problem had with the original, but never known how to fix it.. any ideas?

Could you elaborate on the problem? I don’t understand exactly what is going wrong. Perhaps a link or a screenshot of the problem. What is the TXP tag you are using to call the plugin?

Again I am not sure what you mean by this. I don’t have a date display. I am just planning to use it pretty as is at the moment. Perhaps you could provide a link to a page demonstrating your problem. What is the TXP tag you are using to call the plugin?

You can find an example of the disappearing year here

Here’s how I’m calling it.

<txp:rss_live_archive showsubdate="1" subdateformat="%e" showcommentscount="0" showpostscount="0" category="meeting" subdatesep="">Javascript Not Available </txp:rss_live_archive>

The problem disappears (the years reappear) when I post an article or clear out the cache, but then pops up again after a few clicks.

My archives are located here – http://detached.farfromreal.com/archive/
and i’m calling it with -
<txp:rss_live_archive showsubdate="1" showcommentscount="0">Please enable JavaSript</txp:rss_live_archive>

So i’m calling the article date, and i’ve had to remove the comment count because they would literally be sitting on top of each other, where the date should really be on the left before the article title.

Give me a couple of days and I will look into these issues. No promises of fixes mind you. ;-) I will try my best.

I’m a few days late with my thanks, but only now checked back with the thread. Thank you much, treffynnon! I haven’t installed your fix yet, but will do so this afternoon. I’m very much looking forward to having things working again. :)

We are moving offices at work so I don’t have time to fix this plugin anymore. Perhaps someone else will be able to help.

mrdale · 2006-11-30 21:48:42

Treff, no problem. Thanks for your efforts thus far…

One thing I noticed though; the WilshireOne website is running Txp4.0.4 (http://www.wilshireone.com/article/198/now-running-txp-404) according to a blog post on there. I then checked out the archives and rss_live_archive (http://www.wilshireone.com/livearchive ) is installed and still working. So he has either patched it himself (if so why not release it?) or rolled back to Txp4.0.3.

You are correct that I am running 4.0.4 and my live archive does still work. But no, I have not secretly fixed the plugin and not released it. Maybe it has to do with the fact that my archive has always worked and I didn’t do a clean install, but just upgraded from 4.0.3.

I will have to take a look at your fixes Simon and update the download on wilshire|one as well. Thanks for that. I also have never been able to track down the “disappearing years” problem but maybe you’ll have some luck.

I’m not able to get this plugin to work properly in IE7. When I view my archives (here) or those posted earlier by Finner (here) in IE7, the years and months do nothing when clicked. Everything is fine in Firefox 2.0. Is anybody else seeing this problem? Any ideas for a solution?

Edit: I finally gave up on this plugin since it does not seem to behave properly when using IE7.

Just to let you all know: apparently the new year triggered a bug in the live archive code which occurs when for the current year there is no article in the archive. There are two methods to fix this:

1. write a new article

or

2. fix the code. If you replace in the plugin code the block for reading the month with the following code, it will work again:

// Read months

$months = rssGetMonths($cyear);

if ($recache || $months === false) {

rss_cacheAll($section, $category);

$months = rssGetMonths($cyear);

if( $months === false )

{

// try to fix year

$year_keys = array_keys($years);

$cyear = $year_keys⁰;

$months = rssGetMonths($cyear);

if( $months === false ) die(rssCacheError(“month”));

}

This has to replace the current block starting with the comment “//Read months”.

I tried to format it nicer, but neither bc. nor notextile. nor <pre> or <code> worked despite the FAQ Answer #43
