Creating an archive for blog posts

[melissa_boyle]

Hi guys,

I have created a basic blog archive using some code from this article which works fine on showing the amount of posts for each month and year: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/263-creating-archives-for-newsblogs-sections/

On clicking on the urls they bring me to a page blog/year/month however shows all blog items as opposed to just those in that year. 

Does anyone have any ideas?

My code can be seen below which posts the month and amount of articles, I need to call the excerpts for each page.

The code can be seen below:

        <?php

 

$channel = $pages->get("/blog/");

$startYear = date("Y"); // this year

$endYear = 2009; // or whenever you want it to end

$now = time();

 

for($year = $startYear; $year >= $endYear; $year--) {

    for($month = 12; $month > 0; $month--) {

        $startTime = strtotime("$year-$month-01"); // 2011-12-01 example

        if($startTime > $now) continue; // don't bother with future dates

        if($month == 12) $endTime = strtotime(($year+1) . "-01-01"); 

            else $endTime = strtotime("$year-" . ($month+1) . "-01"); 

        $entries = $channel->children("created>=$startTime, created<$endTime"); // or substitute your own date field

        $date = date("F, Y",$startTime);

        $url = "/blog/" . date("Y",$startTime) . "/" . date("m",$startTime);

        $count = count($entries);

        if($count > 0)

            echo "<p><a class='article-list__link' href='$url'>$date <b>(" . $count . ")</b></a></p>"; // output the month and count

        

    }

}

?>

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Mel
