Archives Pulldown

Hi Geronimo,
That functionality doesn’t currently exist.
However, given that the archives are output as a semantically correct list, it should be possible to use the techniques given here

We may well add the ability to have the archives output as a drop down list (like dropdown_cats)

Thanks for the reply Mike. I just dont want to have a huge archive listed by month in awhile.

You can limit the number of months that show by putting a number as the second parameter to the get_archives function.

Well I will try that out later tonight and see if it works. Thanks.

It works great. Thanks again

orbert,
I found one small bug, well I guess it is one. I was messing around with a setting up a photoblog and wanted to have the archives on a seperate page from the index file, ie. archives.php. when selecting a spefic archive it goes to archives.php?m=200307&submit=view+archive instead of removing the archives.php and sending the user to ?m=200307&submit=view+archive
Want to see what I am rambling about https://www.error5.net/photolog/archives.php . Dont mind the mess just trying some things out right now.

Thanks Orbert. Yeah I looked at the code and noticed it was just about the same. MMmm. I used that code from the other thread it appears to work. No biggie on the time frame. I just noticed it last night. Still working on getting my photolog setup.

@seriocomic
Every nice site. I dont know why but I just really like that grey blue color. I will look at the code . Got a bit of insomnia show I will probably screw it up bad.

This worked excellent! Thank you! ??
Is there a way to put in parameters like I did for the categories? Such as:
<?php dropdown_cats (1, ‘Choose One’, ‘name’, ‘asc’, 0, 1, 1 ); ?>
Which turns the first name of the category into Choose One, instead of August 2003. How about flipping the archives so that the oldest is on top?

I hope this thread is still alive.
I tried the hack, but it does not work. All I get in the dropdown menu is “january 2004” for some reason. Why is this so? I use WP1.01 . I would be grateful for any help with any required updates etc…

the site url is carthik.net
Thanks!!
