Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_date_archive: Date archive listings
I have another issue that I hope you can help me with, when a user goes to /archives I would like a list of articles from the current month, but when they click the date_menu items, I would like proper results to appear instead.
I have tried to introduce variables so that when a given url is correct, the form does one thing, to no avail. You can also see that I have an article_custom that grabs the current month’s articles.
My code is this:
<txp:variable name="archive" value='<txp:site_url />archives/' />
<txp:if_variable name="archive" value='<txp:site_url />archives/'>
<txp:article_custom limit="999" wraptag="ul" break="" month='<txp:php>echo date("Y-m");</txp:php>' sort="Posted desc">
<txp:if_different>
<li class="month"><h4><txp:posted format="%B" /> <txp:posted format="%Y" /></h4></li>
</txp:if_different>
<li>
<p class="title"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></p>
</li>
</txp:article_custom>
<txp:else />
<txp:upm_date_archive form="archive_view" mode="smart" heading_level="4" include_date="no" sort="the_year desc, the_month desc, the_date desc" />
</txp:if_variable>What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to achieve this? Many thanks

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_date_archive: Date archive listings
Nope, it’s a quirk of how the /title scheme works.
If I use mode=“full”, I get the archive list (apm_date_archive) working but when I want to have a single month displayed by clicking an item on the upm_date_menu list, the same appears (2 months worth of posts)
That’s because full is being used: that tells the plugin to display a list of all articles all at once. It’s really intended that the menu tag doesn’t get used when you use that mode.
When I update this plugin, I’ll make it so that you can optionally have the most recent month of articles displayed if no specific month has been requested.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_date_archive: Date archive listings
Mary, I managed to fix my problem with a surprisingly simple solution, instead of linking to /archives, I have linked to /archives/<txp:php>echo date("Y-m");</txp:php> which link to the current year-month as I needed.
Thanks again, can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_date_archive: Date archive listings
is there a setting to wrap the heading and the list into one div? if the two are separated it’s hard to style the archive.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_date_archive: Date archive listings
No there isn’t. I had assumed that most styling could be done by being clever with CSS selectors, if necessary.
Otherwise it would seem that your needs are more complex, so building the archives yourself would be the best route (use article, if_different, etc – I think there’s explanations of how to do this on the Txp Tips site).

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_date_archive: Date archive listings
I have trying to find out if you can format the list… but can’t seem to get a clear idéa of how it is done…probably the simplest thing… can anyone help me out? I want the menu to look like this:
2012
August
July
June
Etc.
And not like this
2012
(lots of space) August
(lots of space) July
(lots of space) June
(lots of space) Etc.

Can it be fixed with CSS?

Can’t seem to get it to react at all by changing the css in the file :/

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_date_archive: Date archive listings
Fixed it! :)
Set the class name to “nospace” and added the following to the css:
dl.nospace
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.nospace dt
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.nospace dd
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
