Thanks for the BRILLIANT plugin. I’m struggling with query at the moment and wondered if someone here knows answer. I have a following query but I’d need to get UL tags inside if statement (and some other stuff). Any idea? Normal ‘if while’ structure leads to errors
```
<ul>
<?php
global $post;
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 500, 'orderby' => 'date', 'year' => '2012', 'order' => 'ASC', 'document_language' => 'english');
$myposts = get_documents( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post); ?>
	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
```

Can you write out (in psuedo-code if need be) what you’re trying to do?

Because documents are just posts, you should be able to query it normally, such as using wp_query or get_posts, if need be.

if ( $myposts->have_posts() ) : $myposts->the_post(); { ?>
<h1>Year 2012</h1>
<? } while ( $myposts->have_posts() ) : $myposts->the_post(); ?>

I need to create a page with yearly archives and I thought it would be quickest just to query every year there manually. Problem is that I’d need few future years there also but I dont want these titles show up before there is documents for that year

Ahh, I see. If you change get_documents to WP_Query, and add 'post_type' => 'document' to the $args array, the above code should work as expected, I believe. get_documents behaves like get_posts, not WP_Query (returning an array versus a query object which you can iterate through like you are above).
