# Permalink hack

 * I’ve to do a new get_archives() function like in order to filter the author’s
   posts.
 * Everything went ok selecting the posts, but not getting the right link using 
   permalinks.
 * The problem, in my opinion is here:
 * >  function sgr_get_month_link($year, $month, $author_id, $author_nicename) {
   > 
   > global $wp_rewrite; if ( !$year ) $year = gmdate(‘Y’, time()+(get_option(‘gmt_offset’)*
   > 3600)); if ( !$month ) $month = gmdate(‘m’, time()+(get_option(‘gmt_offset’)*
   > 3600)); $monthlink = $wp_rewrite->get_month_permastruct(); if ( !empty($monthlink)){
   > $monthlink = str_replace(‘%author%’, $author_nicename, $monthlink); $monthlink
   > = str_replace(‘%year%’, $year, $monthlink); $monthlink = str_replace(‘%monthnum%’,
   > zeroise(intval($month), 2), $monthlink); return apply_filters(‘month_link’,
   > get_option(‘home’) . user_trailingslashit($monthlink, ‘month’), $year, $month);}
   > else { return apply_filters(‘month_link’, get_option(‘home’) . ‘/?author=’ .
   > $author_id . ‘&m=’ . $year . zeroise($month, 2), $year, $month); } }
 * As you can see I added the author_id variable to the non-permalink option, but
   I really cannot understand how to modify the permalink option in order to have
   the author too, because the get_month_permastruct is related just to month.
 * Can somebody help me?

 * Perhaps solved. Now it’s ok, but it puts two slashes after the author name:

 * Solved with substr. Do you think is ok ?
