How to: Creating an Archive page
Many weblog sites these days have some form of an archive page. In WordPress it might be the built in auto generation of permalinks by: /Month/ and /date/.
But in some blog’s, for instance this one here (as I said in a previous post) you can’t get the post to paginate or link to http://youblog.com/page/2 if you have nice permalinks active or http://youblog.com/?paged=2.
By any means, In this theme I have to have an archive link at the bottom. So..
Archive WordPress Plugins
There are many plugins which allows you to automatically create an archive page. The good thing is that you’ll (almost) have nothing to do, and the bad thing is that you may not be able to customize your archives much.
On this blog I have decided to use Clean Archives Reloaded by Viper007Bond. Which you can now see active in my Archive’s page.
If you want to use a plugin, here is a small list:
And of coarse you can always..
..do it your self!
First you would have to create a template file by writing this:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Archive page
*/
//please add you necessary code here
//ie. your hooks and html code ?>
<ol id="archive">
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts(array(
'showposts' => 100,
'offset' => 10,
'order' =>'DES',
'paged' => $paged,
));
$wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;
if( have_posts() ) : while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php $tit = the_title('','',FALSE); echo substr($tit, 0, 25); ?>...</a> - Posted on <?php the_time('j F Y') ?> - Comments (<?php echo $post->comment_count ?>)</li>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</ol>
?>
You may notice this code:
<?php $tit = the_title('','',FALSE); echo substr($tit, 0, 25); ?>from a previous post!
Once saved and pasted it to your archives.php or template-archives.php file, upload it on your wp-content/themes/yourtheme/ directory.
Then, in WordPress dashboard, create a new page, name it “Archives” (or whatever you want) and select Archive page as your page template.
enjoy!
Another plugin I am using on this site: Comment Validation by Jörn Zaefferer.
From Jörn’s site:
Why should you install it? Because you care for comments and want to help users reduce mistakes that hold them off from commenting at all.
Whats the technology used? jQuery and the jQuery Validation plugin with a few customizations to make it fit into the standard WordPress theme.
Is it compatible with other plugins? The plugin is tested with the Draw Comments plugin and works, though the performance is slightly degraded. Other plugins haven’t yet been tested.
Download WordPress-Comment-Validation-Plugin (zip)
And.. Test it out below, but then, do leave a true comment. 🙂
