Hi,
I don’ understand how does this http://www.wilshireone.com/textpattern-plugins/rss-suparchive-menu work?

If I make it, it makes something.com/yyyy/mm but how are that section made? manualy? and manual inserted the archives into them?
thanx

<txp:rss_suparchive_menu linktosection="archive" />

Then in the page for your section, “archive” (you can use a different section, of course) you’d place:
<txp:rss_suparchive />

But it is still making the path something.com/archive/2005/10
I don’ want to make every month 2005/11, 2005/12….
what I’m doing wrong?

“…it is still making the path something.com/archive/2005/10”

That’s what its supposed to do.

“…I don’t want to make every month…”

Re-read what I just said. Then try it and see what happens.

But can you actually get this to work with TXP 4.x? I can create the menu links just fine, but as soon as TXP sees an URL with that structure I get a 404 error message (after clicking on the links).

It seems that many of us can’t get this to work with the release version of TXP, even though it worked with past versions (rc3).

Just curious to know in case I’m missing something . . .

Sorry, out of it.

I seem to remember now someone saying this plugin relying upon a method no longer used by Textpattern (or something to that effect). Maybe that was on the dev mailing list, I don’t remember exactly. I think this is part of it, I guess he hasn’t updated?

Rob, can you enlighten?

“…I don’t want to make every month…”

“Re-read what I just said. Then try it and see what happens.” … no ok, but..? – this I really don’t understand. May be I’m stupid – sorry, but I really don’t know what’s up now?

I think what we’re saying Ji31, is that there are parts of this plugin that don’t work with the current version of TXP. It needs to be updated to work with the current version. If it fits with what you are currently trying to do, you can create date-based archives with the messy URL approach, like:

http://www.something.com/section/?month=2005 (all section articles from 2005)
http://www.something.com/section/?month=2005-08 (all section articles from Aug. 2005) or
http://www.something.com/section/?month=2005-08-05 (all section articles from Aug. 5, 2005)

If you need to page these results, you can download my half-baked plugin at http://www.webinetics.com/txp/mrh_date_archive.txt

This plugin merely provides a replacement for the <code><txp:newer></code> and <code><txp:older></code> paging tags and supports the month variable.

You will need to create your own menu links manually to work with the date-based archives in this fashion. Not a very neat way of working with date-based archives, I know, but it is just a short-term measure you can employ while waiting for Rob Sable to update his excellent rss_suparchive plugin.
