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!

cforms II now GPL compliant
Well, it was a long run, ok, only 24 hours when Mr. Seidel’s announced that he would pull the plug on further updates to the cforms plugin.
But after consideration and many emails, he has released a update to a GPL compliant version of his plugin: 10.2.
