Can you post your diagnostics and the code you're using to display the archive?

Hi Drew,

Apologies on that, I should have included this to begin with!

I did include an array in the following using 'section' => 'blog:

<?php  perch_blog_date_archive_months('months_year_link.html', 'months_month_link.html'); ?>

But that seemed to break the code.

archive.php

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/inc/header.php'); ?>

<main class="archive">
      <div class="page_title">
          <h1>
            <?php perch_pages_title(); ?>
          </h1>
      </div>    
  <!-- /div.content-wrapper -->
  <div class="container">
      <div class="right_col">        
          <div class="archive">
           <a class="back" href="/blog/">Back to Blog</a>
            <h3>Archives</h3>

              <?php 
                  perch_blog_date_archive_months('months_year_link.html', 'months_month_link.html');
              ?>

          <?php// perch_blog_date_archive_months(); ?>

           <?php// perch_blog_custom([
                //'template' => '_archive.html',
                //'section' => 'blog',
                //'filter' => 'visible',
            //]);?>

               <?php perch_blog_categories([
                    'filter' => 'visible',
                    'section' => 'blog',
                    'include-empty' => false

perch_blog_date_archive_months() doesn't take any options. It's a horrible, crufty old function.

Would it be better to use something like this?

<?php perch_blog_custom([
       'template' => '_archive.html',
    'section' => 'blog',
    'filter' => 'visible',
]);?>

If that gets you the results you need then, yes, that would be better.

Darren Cusdin 0 points

Can you use multiple templates with perch_blog_custom? I've tried combing the two templates (one for year and one for months) and it doesn't output/format correctly.

<perch:before>
<ul>
</perch:before>
    <li><a href="archive.php?year=<perch:blog id="year" />"><perch:blog id="year" encode="false" /> (<perch:blog id="year_qty" />)</a>
    <perch:blog id="months" encode="false" />
    </li>
<perch:after>
</ul>
</perch:after>

<perch:before>
<ul>
</perch:before>
    <li class="month"><a href="archive.php?year=<perch:blog id="postDateTime" format="Y" />&amp;month=<perch:blog id="postDateTime" format="m" />"><perch:blog id="postDateTime" format="%B" /> (<perch:blog id="month_qty" />)</a></li>
<perch:after>
</ul>
</perch:after>

You can do an if/different on the date, but not on two different formats of the date.

Does the design you're working to require both?

Darren Cusdin 0 points

4 years ago

The reason I have the date formats: format="Y" and format="m" was for the slug.

In the design the format should be:

2016 (7) December (3) November (2) October (2)

Where I need the quantity of the posts and the year. But it outputs like this:

() December () () December () () December () () November () () November () () October () () October ()

Hmm, yes, I see what you mean.

I don't think we have a good solution for this at the moment.

Darren Cusdin 0 points

No worries drew, I did manage to filter it with <perch:if different /> but have left the quantity out for now as that didn't work with perch_blog_custom();

Thank you for your time!
