Greetings fellow EE-ians ,

I have a couple of question today, just wondering if you guys could point me to the right direction 😊

FYI - I only have the EE core v1.6.7. And definitely will be upgrading to personal / commercial as soon as I’m off the training wheels.

Q #1 - I’m looking for a way for EE to return me weblog archives in the following scenario. Let’s say I have 10 entries in 2009, 20 entries in 2008 and XX entries in 2007 so forth. How do I get EE to return the year *once* only as per example below

--------------------------------------------------------------------

2009       19 Mar      Entry title 5        Excerpt    commentNumber

           13 Mar      Entry title 4        Excerpt    commentNumber

           10 Feb      Entry title 3        Excerpt    commentNumber

            3 Jan      Entry title 2        Excerpt    commentNumber

--------------------------------------------------------------------

2008       19 Mar      Entry title 5        Excerpt    commentNumber

           13 Mar      Entry title 4        Excerpt    commentNumber

--------------------------------------------------------------------

2007       19 Mar      Entry title 5        Excerpt    commentNumber

           13 Mar      Entry title 4        Excerpt    commentNumber

Q #2 - How can I retrieve no. of comments for each entry?

ExpressionEngine newbie here, please pardon for not knowing exactly the terms I should be searching for on the forum.

Thanks in Advance

This plugin might do the trick.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the plugin info.😊

Do you or anybody else happen to know the answer for Question 2?

thanks

Have you considered using {comment_total}? Otherwise, a custom query might be the easiest way.

Ingmar,

yes I did. However, it does not work with {exp:weblog:category_archive}. Or maybe I could just do away with it. I need to play more with EE.

Thanks

No, it does not, it’s available only in exp:weblog:entries. So, I suggest a custom query using COUNT. Shouldn’t be too difficult.

Isn’t the Query module only available on Personal/Commercial EE? Currently, I’m only using the core.

That’s right, the query module is not available in EE Core, so you’d probably have to use some PHP.

Would someone help me with the question below? I’ve tried playing with exp:query unfortunately I’m not much of a programmer.
