01: # Fancy Archives for Wordpress #
02:
03: This is a relatively simple plugin that uses Javascript to
04: make the Archive links in the sidebar collapsable by year.
05:
06: It has been tested on Wordpress versions 2.0+ and 2.1+
07:
08: ## Demo ##
09:
10: You can view a demo in the sidebar of my test Wordpress site [here][1].
11:
12: ## Installation ##
13:
14: Unpack the tar contents to wp-content/plugins/ so that the
15: files are in a fancy-archives directory. Now enable the
16: plugin. To use the plugin, change the following here
17: appropriate (most likely sidebar.php):
18:
19: Change From:
20:
21: <ul>
22: wp_get_archives(your_options_here);
23: </ul>
24:
25: To something of the following:
26:
27: <?php
28: if( function_exists('list_fancy_archives') ) {
29: list_fancy_archives();
30: } else {
31: echo "<ul>\n";
32: wp_get_archives(your_options_here);
33: echo "</ul>\n";
34: }
35: ?>
36:
37: This way, if you ever disable the plugin, your blog doesn't die.
38:
39: **Note**: `wp_get_archives` can be substituted for
40: `wp_list_archives` depending on the design of the theme, so
41: be sure to edit appropriately. Also, substitute
42: `your_options_here` with what the appropriate options are
43: for your theme.
44:
45: Options for Fancy Archives are found under Options -> Fancy
46: Archives. So far, there are the following options:
47:
48: * Leave Current Year Expanded by Default
49: * Display number of posts in a year
50: * Show Month Link
51: * Display number of posts in a month
52: * Enable month links to expand to show posts
53: * Display pages and posts, or just posts
54: * Leave Current Month Expanded by Defaul
55: * Posts can be displayed with any of the following:
56: * Number (ID)
57: * Title
58: * Comment Count
59:
60: This plugin relies on Javascript, but does degrade
61: gracefully if it is not present/enabled to show all of the
62: archive links as usual.
