Keeping items present at all times...possible?

    I’ve just discovered that when displaying results from the Archive month tags in a template with other weblogs displayed, if a date is selected that is not the same as the entry_date of items an the accompanying weblog, the accompanying weblog displays nothing. 

    I understand that the functionality I’m observing is correct. What I’m curious about is if there is a way to insulate a particular set of weblog tags to ensure it’s content is displayed.

    In my particular case, I’ve placed hyperlinks in my footer that I’m intending to be a global resource (present at all times). Is there a way to do this defining the content dynamically. Or, is the only way to prevent what I’m observing to hard code the links.

    Example links:
    Default gallery-

    http://www.jrwildkits.com/index.php/site/test
    (Footer displaying “Forms” entries)

    Archive_month generated display:
    http://www.jrwildkits.com/index.php/site/test_2/2007/10/
    (Footer NOT displaying “Forms” entries)

    http://www.jrwildkits.com/index.php/site/test_2/2007/09/
    (Footer displaying “Forms” entries)

    Would someone have another suggestion on how to approach.

    Look up in the docs the dynamic= parameter for the gallery and weblog entries tags.

    I have to say I’m embarrassed.

    Never really knew that the dynamic parameter had a direct correlation to the URL make-up.

    Thank you.

    Don’t feel bad, it’s probably the most overlooked parameter in EE. There’s usually at least 2-3 forum threads a week where the simple answer is dynamic=“off”
