With this plugin you can easily set up yearly archives. You could consider it an alternative to the Archive Month Links Tag or the existing workarounds. Tested with EE version 1.4.1 build 20060217.

Download the plugin from my site. The docs are there, too.

Is it possible to get it to entirely skip years without any entries?

Thank you

There may be a little bug with this, though. It works, but before it loads the proper page, it loads this for a while:

Notice: Undefined index: 1990 in /home2/sites/westeros.org/www/html/Scripts/ExpressionEngine/system/plugins/pi.yearly_archives.php on line 90

Notice: Undefined index: 1996 in /home2/sites/westeros.org/www/html/Scripts/ExpressionEngine/system/plugins/pi.yearly_archives.php on line 90

Notice: Undefined index: 1997 in /home2/sites/westeros.org/www/html/Scripts/ExpressionEngine/system/plugins/pi.yearly_archives.php on line 90

etc for each year

Ack! My fault for wanting to implement things too quickly. Hang on a sec…

Couldn’t reproduce the Notices, but it should be fixed now, methinks.

Can anybody confirm that this works with 1.4.2? It appears to be messing up the years, which chokes the entry count. And yes, weblog1 is the correct weblog shortname. lol. Thanks.

For example, this code:

<ul class="yearly_archives"> 
{exp:yearly_archives weblog="weblog1" start_month="1" status="not closed” 
sort="desc"} 
<li> 
{if leap_year == 1}<em>{year}</em>{if:else}{year}{/if} 
<ul>{months} 
<li> 
{if num_entries > 0} 
<a href="{path=blog/archive}{year}/{month_num}/" 
title="{num_entries} entries in {month} {year}">{month_short}</a> 
{if:else} 
{month_short} 
{/if} 
</li>{/months} 
</ul> 
</li> 
{/exp:yearly_archives} 
</ul> 

returns:

<li>
2
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://example.com/index.php/home/archives/2/01/" title="0 entries in January 2">Jan</a>

Strange. My archives work just fine and I use practically the same code. Are you using the plugin inside some other tag, perhaps? Additional questions: what version of the plugin are you using (1.0 or 1.1)? What version of php are you running?

I’m using the Yearly Archives 1.1 plugin, EE 1.4.2 build 20060530, php 4.3.2 on pM Hosting. The tag is on a page by itself, no other tags present.

I don’t have a URL to show you because at the moment my whole site is offline (in the middle of a big overhaul). Its Ruzin site that inspired trying this out.

I’ve tried removing the conditionals and stripping everything out (including all the html) except the basic year and month stuff, but same issue. It looks like the year is being messed up.

Are you guys on EE 1.4.2? Kinda sounds like it.

Well, not sure what’s up. I upgraded to the latest build and same issue. I tried specifying different weblogs as well but no dice.

It’s just you. Seriously, I’m using the same code you are in a standalone template.

lol… well, yeah, I figured its just me. Sue, can you do me a favor and turn your site off and check the plugin? Maybe this issue is coming up because the site is switched off. I’m not sure why that would make a difference but I’m curious.

Leslie, how many entries do you have, or should be showing up there? You can PM me with login data if you wish. I think I might be able to check it out tomorrow (when it’s daytime in the Netherlands… ^_^).
