I redid and reworked the Nicer Archives for WordPress. The archives list can be sorted by date and category and filtered by author and year. All of the functions, as far as I tested, are working.
The example archives are here:
http://mindfulmusings.net/weblog/narchives.php
Download php file from here:
http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/narchives.phps
The install is really simple. Just copy the file to the root of your blog and create a link from your index.php.

Posted 4 years ago #Thanks man !
Its a great piece of work !!!
You just have to add a closing "/" to some of the "input type" thingies so it can validate as XHTML.
But of course its a minor detail !!!
Thanks again.
Your work is greatly appreciated. -

Posted 4 years ago #Nice mod, LaughingLizard! Thanks for sharing. I installed and got it working in about 5 minutes. A question or two:
What is the purpose/use of the additional "single" style sheet? I had to set the$singlevar to0to get it to pick up my default style sheet. How are you intending the use of two style sheets with this?
Any way to limit the listing to just the current year? The user can choose to list other years, but can I set the default to just the current?
Thanks again.

Posted 4 years ago #@randybrown and others:
Fixed the validation issue.
I have removed the $single check from the new download. Please download again if you would like. The $single is used to load different stylesheets on my blog when permalinks are clicked. :-) Sorry. -

Posted 4 years ago #Additional thoughts - it would be great to make the links from the index.php page offer the main sort options right there eg:
Archives
by category
by date
etc
Would using query-string links work - just tried
http://www.andrew-hall-artist.com/journal/narchives.php?orderby=category&asc_desc=ASC&m=2004&author=andrew
didn't work but maybe I've made a stupid mistake. Alternatively, probably better, I can make a couple of different versions, narchivescat, narchivesdate and set different defaults.

Posted 4 years ago #Beel: Where do I need to place the statement? I tried placing it in
show_year_select(). The current year was in fact selected, but the listing still include previous years. -
I stuck it here:
if (!($_POST["submit"])) { $m = date('Y'); }
//Make sure categories get parsed out, they are deprecated in wp-blog-header.php
if ($_POST["orderby"] == 'category') {
www.billhayes.us/wordpress/narchives.php
and I am working on getting it as an include in the index page:
www.billhayes.us/wordpress/archives -
Posted 4 years ago #LaughingLizard - Another mod for you:
To better aling with .htaccess and mod-rewrte rules, I made the follow changes toarchive_header:
In theif ('date' == $orderby || empty($orderby))structure, I changed$thisdate = $thisyear.$thismonth;to$thisdate = $thisyear.'/'.$thismonth;and$output .= '<br/><br/>'.$month[$thismonth].' '.$thisyear.'';to$output .= '<br/><br/>'.$month[$thismonth].' '.$thisyear.'';.
In the} elseif ('category' == $orderby) {structure, I changed$ $thiscategory = $category_name;to$thiscategory = get_catname($category_name);and$output .= '<br/><br/>'.get_catname($thiscategory).'';to
$output .= '<br/><br/>'.$thiscategory.'';.

Posted 4 years ago #I'm getting an error in my error logs:

This is getting printed twice each time I run the narchives file. Anyone know why this is occurring?

Posted 4 years ago #@randybrown:
There was a filename at the end of that error. Please check that file to see if there is anything after the last ?> in that file. -
Posted 4 years ago #LL: It's the "narchives.php" file. I renamed it
index.phpfor my purposes, but it's the same format as I originally downloaded from you. I have made some mods, as listed above, but even the original file gives the errors.
Here's the full error msg:
[Sun May 23 21:14:15 2004] [error] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/randy/public_html/blog/artifacts/index.php:6) in Unknown on line 0

Posted 4 years ago #pjt:: I am getting the same error when sorting ascending, but not descending. No idea why, however.
-
Posted 4 years ago #actually, pjt, for me I have figured out why it is sorting poorly, both ascending (in the beginning) and descending (in the end):
For the most part, the list sorts just fine, but the few posts I had that had tags or special characters in the beginning are sorted by that character. I don't know with PHP how to parse this out....if it were Perl, maybe. Anyone figured out how to work around this? -
andrew_h, I tried using your mod for not listing a specific category, and it works fine when listing by category (where I wouldn't mind if it actually didn't exclude the category) and title. But for date sorting it doesn't work at all.

Posted 4 years ago #Im going to consider that the new "changes" are being handled between the originator and the user implementing those changes. If you cannot get something to work (even an extra change) please find me in #wordpress or email me and I will try to help out.
Good job with helping out! -

Posted 4 years ago #Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/public_html/narchives.php on line 42
huh? -
Posted 4 years ago #Hi Michael, no it wouldn't since my changes act in the
$_POST["orderby"] == 'category'part of the loop, to make changes in the date sort you would need to make changes around line 260. There may also be better ways of doing what I did (like altering the database call). For the time being I am happy as things now are for me though I might look at altering the dates within category sort order sometime.

Cannot modify header informationmsg I posted above? I want to confirm that this error is appearing only on my install.
Thanks.

Andrew, I don't know PHP at all, is there a chance I can get you to mock up the changes I need and perhaps mail them to me, or simply post them here?

I'm pretty busy right now so can't help, sorry. If I get a chance later I will have another look but don't hold your breath :-)

Posted 4 years ago #The database errors are because the table variables have changed in the new nightly builds...
check the file wp-setting.php for the changes... -
Posted 4 years ago #Here's the new table variables in the new nightlies...
$wpdb->posts = $table_prefix . 'posts';
$wpdb->users = $table_prefix . 'users';
$wpdb->categories = $table_prefix . 'categories';
$wpdb->post2cat = $table_prefix . 'post2cat';
$wpdb->comments = $table_prefix . 'comments';
$wpdb->links = $table_prefix . 'links';
$wpdb->linkcategories = $table_prefix . 'linkcategories';
$wpdb->options = $table_prefix . 'options';
$wpdb->optiontypes = $table_prefix . 'optiontypes';
$wpdb->optionvalues = $table_prefix . 'optionvalues';
$wpdb->optiongroups = $table_prefix . 'optiongroups';
$wpdb->optiongroup_options = $table_prefix . 'optiongroup_options';
$wpdb->postmeta = $table_prefix . 'postmeta';
And here is the old variables from the 1.2 release...
$tableposts = $table_prefix . 'posts';
$tableusers = $table_prefix . 'users';
$tablesettings = $table_prefix . 'settings'; // only used during upgrade
$tablecategories = $table_prefix . 'categories';
$tablepost2cat = $table_prefix . 'post2cat';
$tablecomments = $table_prefix . 'comments';
$tablelinks = $table_prefix . 'links';
$tablelinkcategories = $table_prefix . 'linkcategories';
$tableoptions = $table_prefix . 'options';
$tableoptiontypes = $table_prefix . 'optiontypes';
$tableoptionvalues = $table_prefix . 'optionvalues';
$tableoptiongroups = $table_prefix . 'optiongroups';
$tableoptiongroup_options = $table_prefix . 'optiongroup_options';
$tablepostmeta = $table_prefix . 'postmeta';
in the narchive.php file... just replace the old variables for the new ones in the sql statements and it should work... -
Posted 4 years ago #Just made the changes to the file and it works perfectly...
For those of you running the new nightlies.. you can grab the modded version here, fixed to work with the new naming scheme of the tables...
narchives 1.3alpha fix -
Posted 4 years ago #The only thing missing from this is pagination. That way you can list lets say the first 50 posts and a link would appear on the bottom for the rest...
Or even better would be to list only a specific month with links to the other months...
Great addition to wordpress either way! -
Posted 4 years ago #works great with one exception:
Selecting DATE and or TITLE - if I have ALL YEARS selected it will display nothing, I HAVE TO select a YEAR to have posts show up.
Selecting CATEGORY and have ALL YEARS selected, will display correctly.
Further up in this thread I saw somebody commenting on needing to add something:
if (!($_POST["submit"])) { $m = date('Y'); }
- is this the problem? Do I need to add this someplace, and if yes, where?
