Goal: Dynamically filter entries by date from a template, via date picker, manual entry, etc.

? : How to re-send values for ‘day’ ‘month’ ‘year’ parameters back to EE, and return new results? 

Any help pointing me in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, P. Colin Manikoth.

It depends on what you want. For instance, in the default templates that ship with EE1.x you’ll find the following:

<h2 class="sidetitle">Monthly Archives</h2>
<ul>
{exp:weblog:month_links weblog="{my_weblog}"}
<li><a href="http://{path={my_template_group}/index}">{month} {year}</a></li>
{/exp:weblog:month_links}
<li><a href="http://{path={my_template_group}/archives}">Complete Archives</a></li>
<li><a href="http://{path={my_template_group}/categories}">Category Archives</a></li>
</ul>

You would have defined {my_weblog} and {my_template_group} previously.

Does that help?

The solution I was looking for involved Dynamic Parameters. I was unaware they existed - very useful. See Ryan Irelan’s article:

Thanks Sue.

Very glad to see that works for you. Post again as needed, please.
