Re: [howto] Date-Based Archives - Yearly, Monthly, Daily, and Complete

Cool, I guessed right:)
In truth I’m completely new to textpattern and hadn’t realised that I needed to change the permanent link mode to use this. Doing so is a bit of a problem for me from the SEO point of view sadly.
What I’m really after is the ability for users to browse to articles several ways. By category, and by date but all those having a permanent url which uses the title. Ie a topnav item that says archives, that goes to some page which has a treelike list descending by date, and the items link to /pagetitle/ pages, with the latter being the permanent link.
Does that make sense – does your work do something like this or am I way off :)
Thank you
Actually you don’t have to – as I found out a little earlier. If you land on a url like year/month this will still work. I just tend to think of people hand-altering Urls wp-style by maybe I am the only one that does that.
There is definitely nothing stopping you from doing a single page – that was the first method I came up with. When I have some free time later, I’ll take a look at how to setup that up again.

Brilliant, thanks. That thread you linked to was one I’d looked through a few days ago but like many which talk about date based archives are just a little over my head at the moment. And I don’t know how many work with this latest version as well.
Thanks again

I uploaded a new 1.1 version of the plugin to Github. This one works correctly if Textpattern is installed in a Subdirectory.

I will try to get something written up. I’ve made a few discoveries by installing this on a brand new site.

Re: [howto] Date-Based Archives - Yearly, Monthly, Daily, and Complete
Version 5.0 (second try) – New for 2020, now with no PHP or additional plug-ins needed as it can all be done with native tags
Quick explanation of how this works on the Demo Site:
Textpattern no longer works the way it used to. You don’t need to do anything with the error template because everything is now generated by the default page template.
