New Archive Structure

  • I’ve been working on a new archive structure (similar to these) and would like some feedback and testing help.
    Things to note:
    1) This requires the use of the new permalinks structure and mod_rewrite, if there is a way to do it without these two, don’t ask me. ??
    2) Single day and single post archives still use index.php.
    3) All other archives (including category archives) use a file I’ve created.
    4 The mod_rewrite rules have been modified to allow for 2 and 3 above.
    5) If a date or category isn’t passed to the archives, a list of categories and archives are displayed.
    6) You can click on months and years in the archives to drill down to another archive.
    7) Clicking on a day number, post title, or comment link will send you to index.php and display the appropriate post(s).
    That’s all I can think of for right now. I need to setup a test blog with the default WP install to test this out and make some modifications to the CSS. Once everything is working well, I’ll release the code.
    All feedback is welcome!

    You won’t lose current posts/archives when you upgrade unless something drastic goes wrong, but that is why they suggest doing a back-up of your database before upgrading. ?? Better to be safe than sorry. I think there is a topic around somewhere that has better instructions for upgrading than comes with the new version of the readme.

    Looks like your single day and single post(which includes comments) archives are not working, most likely an error in the rewrite rules. If you want to email me your .htaccess file I can take a look. There is an email form at my site.

    Everything seems to be working now except for my rss feed.
    I get this error when attempting to look at the xml:
    XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity
    Location: https://www.3mote.com/wp-rss.php
    Line Number 3, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″?><!– generator=”wordpress/1.0.1″ –>
    ^
    Sorry to be such a pain.

    benrad,
    I’m glad to hear it’s working now. The rss feed would not be affected by the archives though. I suggest starting a new topic, since someone who might know the answer to your problem might not look at posts on this topic.
