Ideas for best archives rule
I would like to build an archives page with a list of months into a sidebar. When the visitor click on a month link, I would like to display all articles related about the choosen month. But… I have no idea how to make that working :)
Could you give me some advices?
Best regards,
Patrick.

txp:article and txp:article_custom have a month attribute :-)

And with little php or a plugin you can automatically toggle (er – change) that month value or as txp:article is content sensitive, it is automatically togglable via url.
Plus, ofcourse there is the great upm_date_archive

Tks jakob and Jukka!
As Jukka said, I’ve got this rule with some php and a get method.
I’m going to look at Mary’s plugin that I never saw before.
Have a nice day!
Best regards,

Or you could check out Simple Archives and Simple Archives part 2 which should show you how to do what you want without a plug-in.

Stuart I know this method ;) But what I need is different. I wolud like to have a filter on current year list of months!!!
So I think my friend is MySql… but I don’t know how to format the ‘Posted’ field into my query to obtain a format like date(‘Y’) in PHP.
Arg!!! I’m a very stupid TXP user :)
Could you tell me how to obtain this format into a MySql query?
Tks lot. Help very appreciated.
Best regards <txp:guys />,

Re: Ideas for best archives rule
Pat64 – you can just grab the Unix timestamp from MySQL and pipe it into strftime for formatting (select unix_timestamp(Posted) from textpattern). However, you can also format the date with MySQL too.

Thanks – I’ve got 5 dogs, but my family has a fair amount (rescued strays).
