[plugin] [ORPHAN] akw_archive: Date-based archive list

thekolonel · 2004-06-12 06:18:35

Allows you to create an archived list of entries grouped by date, like this (<acronym title=“Not Safe for Work”>NSFW</acronym>). An example from my journal template:

This plugin requires the akw_date_aware plugin. Don’t forget to create the proper forms.

Grab a copy at http://www.nakedloftparty.com/txp_plugins/. It’s the akw_archive_plugin zip file.

same problem as Kaebin.
Is there any way to make it fetch entries from another section or something?

I need more info on exactly how you’re trying to use the tag.

i’d like to have an ‘archive’ section that lists the articles from each month. but if i crh section and use your tag (as you have it) it doesn’t show anything (‘cause there’s nothing posted to archive?). is there a way to make it show month-by-month articles for a different section?

The tag pulls articles from the section in which it resides. In your case you’d put the switcher tag in your “blather” section.

This seems like a great plugin although I have not been able to get it to work in the way a I would like yet. I was wondering if it was possible to display the list of posts by month and the single full article on the same page. Meaning, if someone selects a permalink from the articles listed by month they would load into the single article tag. So far I have been able to show both on the same page but the the link list of articles (txp:akw_archive) does not seem to load anything and the single article tag (txp:akw_doArchiveArticles) doesn’t seem to show the post body even though the form it’s using has the body in it. Am I setting this up wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The latest versions of this plugin and date aware are up.

Rajo, that is the intended behavior. Load the new version and then let me know if you’re still having problems getting it to work.

Thank you, the combination of the date aware article plugin (which I am using to show the full single article) and the month list seem to be doing what I need. However, I was wondering if there was a way to list the individual entries associated with each month as permalinks in the akw_month_list?

I have a quick question about hacking this plugin. I am only marginally comfortable with php, so this is probably relatively simple, but I want my monthly archive list to be a select versus a list. So far so good, I’ve modified this function as follows:

function akw_formatMonthHref($linktext,$title,$section,$category,$url_y,$url_m)
{
… case 1: $section = ($section == ‘default’) ? ‘’ : $section.’/’; $category = ($category) ? ‘?c=’.$category : ‘’; $url_y = ($category) ? a.‘y=’.$url_y : ‘’.$url_y; $url_m = a.‘m=’.$url_m; return ‘<option value=”’.$url_y.’&’.$url_m.’”’.$title.’>’.$linktext.’</option>’;

I have the form set up to have a name of y, so I eliminated the y= portion of the url created. However, although it builds a list, the links have a lot of junk in them and appear as:

http://www.nagpal.info/article/?y=2004%26%26m%3D07

instead of

http://www.nagpal.info/article/?y=2004&m=07

Anyone have any suggestions how to further alter the plugin, or a better way to use a select to get this form of archive?

UPDATE: This is a problem with Apache’s parsing of URLS, so I don’t think I will be able to get this hack to work as I would need to pass a full date string to the archive and this would require way more php skills than I have.

I’ve run into a few minor problems with this plugin:

When using <txp:akw_archive /> to generate a list of entries (which, as far as I know, calls akw_doArchiveArticles), the link for each month looks like the following:

The concern here is with the way the title attribute is formatted…I’m not sure what causes it to come out that way.

I am using Textpattern 1.19, as well as the latest versions of akw_archive and akw_date_aware.

Alright, I’m trying to implement this, and perhaps I’m missing something. I’ll try to describe my setup and maybe that’s why I’m having difficulty.

I have three sections. One is set to display on the front page. The other two are not. They all use the default page template. For discussion purposes they are: article, pics, and sitenews.

On the front page, on first loading, I display 5 articles from the ‘articles’ section. Title, Body, etc. I have at the top of the page a couple of links to the other sections. When those are clicked, it loads the front/default page and displays 5 articles from those.

So far, so good. This part works well.

I would like to also have an archive page, perhaps a single page with a combined archive of all three sections. I can handle an archive page for each as well if that’s how the plugin works.

I cannot figure out how to make the txp:akw_archive tag work exactly like the txp:article tag in the ‘usual’ context, where it displays the title/body/comment as usual. And then I’m not certain how to make it switch to archive mode where it displays a year, month, and then a breakdown of day and title.

The only thing I’ve been able to come up with is to create copies of the default page for each of the three sections. In those copies, replace txp:article with txp:akw_archive and then each section’s default display will be the archived by date breakdown. This actually works alright for the sitenews page, but for the pics I would still like to be able to display 5 full articles in that section, and then be able to switch to a date based archive.

Does anyone have any ideas how I might be able to set this up, or if it’s even possible with this plugin?

Thanks,
Remillard

This is working well for me, with one critical problem. Would it be possible to have the option to let txp:akw_doArchiveArticles output the full item rather than just the excerpt?

I’ll take a look at adding that back in. When I wrote the plugin I was concerned about performance on large archive pages.
