url of the current archive

Nope unfortunately not… (not that i could find)..

What is it you’d like to retrieve? You can check the query variables to see if a month or year is queried etc…

I’m sure we can knock something up, depending what you need it to do..

For example to get the queried month you could do..
<?php echo date('M',mktime(get_query_var('monthnum'))); ?>
or for the year..
<?php echo date('Y',mktime(get_query_var('year'))); ?>

mmm must be something with the year and month there that can be built into a url, suppose I could use $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] if I’m stuck.

I’m just putting some QR Codes on my site which will generate for each type of page so I need to pass the current url. I’m using get_permalink() for singles and get_search_query() for search pages just need to put the gap of archive pages.

get_query_var('monthnum')

Would be empty (or zero) if a query for a particular month doesn’t exist…
So just check each one, and build your URL based on whether they exist…
get_query_var('monthnum')
get_query_var('day')
get_query_var('year')

pheww that was far more complex that I had thought it would be, I completely forgot ‘archives’ were subdivided into lots of different things but I think I’ve caught them all now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction with get_query_var that solved several issues.

Below is the final version in case it helps anybody else, this is the function call for the super-cool-qrcode plugin (but getting those urls is relevant to lots of things) and it can be seen working here now: https://www.asquare.org/networkresearch/2009/art-by-telephone

?? Glad you got working .. ??

Had a brief read about QR Code, not seen it before… interesting… ?? not that i have a mobile….. ??
