I’m currently trying to build a press release section on a website for a client. What I have so far is a template built called “press_releases” that will list all the articles. What I would like to do is use this template to then display articles from specific years, which will be specified through the url. So the urls will be like press_releases/2007/ press_releases/2006 and so on.

Is it possible for me to use this segment within the weblog entries tag to display this year. Ideally something like year=”{segment_3}” if this is possible. I have come across this - http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Yearly_Archives/

However I don’t think this is quite what I’m looking for, nor the pulgin linked to from the site. I’m sure I must be missing something very simple/easy to do but would appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

Will the year parameter do the trick?  Would likely need to combine with dynamic=“off”.

Odd, I did try it and was getting errors originally but now it’s working fine. Thanks for the quick response.

Odd indeed.  But- glad that’s got you squared away.

This question may be related to a resolved thread.

Sorry I just posted about this and thought it was sorted but having a small issue.

The code I have is -

This seems to be working absolutely fine, almost.

If I change the url to /2008 it displays 2008, same goes for everything else apart from if segment_3 is blank. If segment_3 is blank is displays all the articles from all the years.

The URLs are as follows -
/press_centre/press_releases/ - displays everything
/press_centre/press_releases/2008 - correctly displays 2008
/press_centre/press_releases/2007 - correctly displays 2007

I must be missing something silly but have tried all sort of fun and games and can’t seem to get it playing ball if the URL is blank. This is just a precaution more then anything, but it would be nice to get sorted.

Any help would be appreciated and sorry for posting again so quickly.

Heh- sorry for closing it out a bit early!  OK- see if this works:

I have my doubts- but it’s worth a try.  If it doesn’t work- I personally would go with some php.

Works a treat Looks as though I was trying to over complicate things a little bit too much.

Thank you!

Parse order can get tricky with some of the conditionals.  Glad this worked.  Now- let’s see if I can manage to merge these two threads.
