montly archive dropbox ??

[jpschouten]

Hi on my browsepage you see the catagory's as links which is fine, but the montly archive is also shown as links, and that is very space consuming. So my question is, is there a way to make a dropboz out of the montly archive ??
a full dropbox or perhaps per year ? im using the template relaxation. Anyone ??:confused:

From thread, http://forum.pixelpost.org/showthread.php?t=783,

If you use the ADDON paged_archive.php,
you might use these Tags instead:
<CATEGORY_LINKS_AS_LIST> || Category links as a text list for default PP's archive page
<CATEGORY_LINKS_AS_LIST_PAGED> || Category links as a text list for page-by-page archive
<BROWSE_MONTHLY_ARCHIVE_PAGED> || Monthly drop box for default PP's archive page
<BROWSE_MONTHLY_ARCHIVE_AS_LINK_PAGED> || Monthly drop box for page-by-page archive
<BROWSE_CATEGORIES_PAGED> || Category drop box for page-by-page archive
<THUMBNAILS_WHOLE_PAGED> || Thumbnails in this page
<THUMBNAILS_PAGES_LINKS> || Link to the pages of thumbnail in the selected category
<ARCHIVE_PAGES_NUM> || Page number you are viewing
<CATEGORY_OR_DATE_NAME_PAGED_ARCHIVE> || Name of the category or Month you select

one more question, perhaps you know ? ;) i like that the thumbnails in when browsing are opacity sensitive, i've seen it on other homepages. for example. All my thumbs are opacity 50% and hovering over them 100% how to do that ? you know ?

Not off the top of my head, give me an example link and i can let you know how its done.

I found an example,

http://dev.jlspurling.com/pixelpost/1.5/index.php?x=browse

in this template, this effect is created by CSS (which i figured) and placing your <THUMBNAILS> attribute within a div. So, open your css file, probably named style.css and add the following,

#browse {
padding-top:20px;
clear:both;
}

#browse .thumbnails {
filter: alpha(opacity=70);
opacity: 0.70;
margin:3px;
padding:5px;
border:1px solid #fff;
}

#browse a:hover img{
filter: alpha(opacity=99);
opacity: 0.99;
padding:5px;
border:1px solid #ddd;
}

this is taken from the example i referenced above. You might need to do some tweaking here.

then, open your browse_template.html and find

<THUMBNAILS>

and add a div around it like so,

<div id="browse">
<THUMBNAILS>
</div>

i see. i looked at your source and the css is within your browse_template.

So, open browse_template.html

and add the following before the </style> tag.

#browse {
padding-top:20px;
clear:both;
}

#browse .thumbnails {
filter: alpha(opacity=70);
opacity: 0.70;
margin:3px;
padding:5px;
border:1px solid #fff;
}

#browse a:hover img{
filter: alpha(opacity=99);
opacity: 0.99;
padding:5px;
border:1px solid #ddd;
}
