page by page archive

[sbarru]

I know what I want, but don't know enough about php and the various tags to get there. Hope somebody can walk me through setting this up...

I have set up a category for each month of the year in Admin/Categories. Do I need to do this?

When I go to the browse/archive page, I just want a text list of months beginning with the current one and working down the page to the first month I posted for the blog. I don't want the "default" category in the list and I don't really care about the "all" category.

Which tag do I use, where do I put it and how do I get the text list to display in the correct order?

Which tag should I use for the thumbnails and where do I put it?

Any help much appreciated.

you can always rename the default category

I know that it is possible to do what you want,

I use <CATEGORY_LINKS_AS_LIST_PAGED> in my site, but I get "ALL"

check the Addon category_links

This addon displays a list of the categories as links.

A list of category names in different flavors:
with link to the category, use <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST> or <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_PAGED>
with numbers of entries in that category, use <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_NONUMBERS> or <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_PAGED_NONUMBERS>
without numbers if the category is empty, use <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_ZERO> or <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_PAGED_ZERO>
and it works for paged categories or un-paged categories.
The orientation of the list is defined by CSS, use <div class="horizontal"> or <div class="vertical">

Thanks, Connie, I am now part of the way there. Actually the tag which worked best for me is <BROWSE_MONTHLY_ARCHIVE_AS_LINK_PAGED>.

One problem remains - I am still loading all of the thumbs on the archive page. I want to set up something like you have done with your archive page. You load a small number of thumbs and then have links to other thumb pages along the bottom. What tag(s) do I need to get something like this?

[GeoS]

So you should use other tag for showing thumbnails (as paged version uses own tag for showing thumbs splited in to the subpages).

I have done it like this:

<span class="photos">
<THUMBNAILS_WHOLE_PAGED>
<br /><br />Aktuelle Archivseite: <ARCHIVE_PAGES_NUM>&nbsp;||&nbsp;<THUMBNAILS_PAGES_LINKS></span>

[sbarru]

Sorry, but I still do not have it. This is the what I have:

<div id="page">
<span class="title">Browse Archive:</span><hr /><br />
<div align="center">
<BROWSE_MONTHLY_ARCHIVE_AS_LINK_PAGED>
<br /><br />
<span class="photos">
<THUMBNAILS_WHOLE_PAGED>
<br /><br />Archive: <ARCHIVE_PAGES_NUM>&nbsp;||&nbsp;<THUMBNAILS_PAGES_LINKS></span>
</div>
</div>

What I get is all of my thumbnails (163 at the moment) loading at the same time. I do not get a list of pages at the bottom. This is what it looks like:

I am still missing a tag somewhere!

[jdleung]

you have inserted the right tag. but you need to give this link to the users, <a href='index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1'>Archive</a>, just add one more tail "&pagenum=1". ;)

I'm from Guangdong.:)

[sbarru]

Hi jdleung, good to hear from you. Sorry to be so dumb about this, but I still do not have it right. From your post I added <a href> and my markup now looks like this:

<BROWSE_MONTHLY_ARCHIVE_AS_LINK_PAGED>
<br /><br />
<span class="photos">
<THUMBNAILS_WHOLE_PAGED>
<br /><br />
<a href='index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1'>Archive:</a> <ARCHIVE_PAGES_NUM>&nbsp;||&nbsp;<THUMBNAILS_PAGES_LINKS></span>

But there are still no numbers at the bottom of the page and all of my thumbnails load. :confused:

[jdleung]

no. I mean edit your archive link at right top in image_template.html,browse_template.html,about_tem plate.html.

[jdleung]

click the link you had just added. you will find it works well.
so just copy the link to anywhere you want. ;=)

[sbarru]

Got it! Thanks!

hi connie,

hoffe du kannst mir helfen

ich würde gerne meine categorien nebeneinander und ohne zahlen anordnen lassen - nur leider will es mit dem folgenden befehlen nicht

I use <CATEGORY_LINKS_AS_LIST>

check the Addon category_links <- des addon ist bei aktiv - also des "Page-By-Page-Archive for category and month (paged_archive - version 1.7) - status: ON"

ich versuchte die von dir gepostetetn befehle

This addon displays a list of the categories as links.

A list of category names in different flavors:
with link to the category, use <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST> or <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_PAGED>

with numbers of entries in that category, use <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_NONUMBERS> or <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_PAGED_NONUMBERS>

without numbers if the category is empty, use <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_ZERO> or <CATEGORY_LINKS_LIST_PAGED_ZERO>

and it works for paged categories or un-paged categories.
The orientation of the list is defined by CSS, use <div class="horizontal"> or <div class="vertical">
