Sortable nicer archives for WordPress 1.2

Not sure; we’d probably need to see your archives page. Have you tried setting a year before you sort?

Did anyone ever try to add a “months” dropdown box to this plugin (which is highly useful as-is, by the way)? I asked about this some time ago, and I have seen others ask, so I was just curious
Thanks,

Doh! I think there was a post about how if the post began with a special character or number, it would show in the beginning. Otherwise, everything else is alphabetical. Thanks anyways!

Ei Nice Plugin you have here! Helped me a lot… Nice work! Keep it up… Thanks!!!

Cool hack…the only issue I’m having is that it doesn’t display anything until you select a year and click sort. Why won’t it sort by “All Years”?

its nicebut I find the same flaw in it as in the first nicer arhcive where it only whows the number of entries that i have spcified toappear in the main page is here a way to have all entrieas appear in the archive page here if you wanna take alook https://www.yunie.com/archives.php

People wanting to have a different style applied to their Narchives, just need to make sure that the narchives.php file links to that – you set the path to the style sheet in the header section. Look in the index.php what the path and name of your current style sheet is and then addapt it into the narchives.php file.

(This is Stryke11)
My source is wp-layout.css which is common.
There is this command in the narchives.php =
<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
@import url( https://host256.ipowerweb.com/~cruzcont/blog/wp-layout.css );
</style>
This is the only reference to wp-layout.css that I can find, and it is the correct location.
So why isn’t it “sticking”?

So your file “narchives.php” is within the directory “blog” which is within “~cruzcont” ?
If your style sheet is in the same directory as the narchives file, you might want toONLY add the style sheet file name, that is:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import url( wp-layout.css );</style>
If your “narchives.php” file is in another directory than the directory where your style sheet is, you can link it in a relative path fashion (i.e. folder/folder/wp-layout.css).
You also want to make sure that there is no ‘old’ (version 1.2 style sheet) within your blog directory (at least rename it or put it into another directory or something).
Are you sure the Kubrick style sheet is named wp-layout.css? I am asking this because the version 1.2 style sheet is named the same – I don’t use Kubrick and thus I don’t know how the style sheet is named. If the Kubrick style sheet has another name, then you need to put that into your narchives.php style import command.
Hope this makes sense.

cool. so you are getting closer!
your second question is easier to answer (for me) than your first, so here goes:
if I understand you correctly you do not want the select option visible (the popup/dropdown selection box) to choose an author as you are the only one writing. to get rid of thay you want to delete the following in the file “narchives.php”: <select name="author"> <option value="">All Authors</option> <option value="1">site admin</option> </select> .
– remember to make a backup copy of “narchives.php” BEFORE tinkering around with it !!
now to your first problem, you could either
a) add align="center" to the tag <div id="content">
or – (and I am doing some guess work here as I’ve never studied the Kubrick CSS nor templates) –
b) add class="narrowcolumn" and thus change the tag to <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn"> which now probably will allow you to have a right column as on the home page.

I’m having the same issue, maesterkinoc. I’ve been searching for an answer for this for months with still no answer whatsoever.
It’s a wonderful feature. I just wish I could have it such that I can keep the setting I have for the index page (5 posts), yet have ALL of the archived posts come up on narchives.php instead of just 5.

How can I make this hack only show 1 category? I have 2 categories where I would like to have separate archives for each of them.

Nice mod, except that it doesn’t seem to be working right with WordPress configured to display only a limited number of items per page. The limitation also applies to this mod when sorted by Date or by Title! (but not when sorted by Category). Not much point in viewing a list of items sorted by date or title if you only get to see the first 10 or 15 of them!

I ended up finding a rather ugly work-around:

Needless to say, I’d prefer something more elegant, but that’s all I could do with my very limited knowledge of PHP and mySQL.

SOLUTION for those who, like me, had problems with the Nicer Archives mod only showing a limited number of posts when sorted by Date or by Title — thanks to LL, I was able to identify the problem, which was some commented out code in the page that was still processed as PHP code:

This eliminates the need for the ugly hack described in my previous post.

@lataxt

Did you try this?
