Getting monthy archives

By keystr13 on Mar 6, 2012 at 10:38 PM 3 Vote 0 Votes

How can I change this code to get an archive link for each month, instead of now just a link for Jan 2012 and all 2009 archives.

<h3>Monthly Archive</h3>
					<MTSetVarBlock name="run_yyyy"><$MTDate format="%Y"$></MTSetVarBlock>
					<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
						<MTArchiveListHeader><ul id="monthlist"></MTArchiveListHeader>
						<MTSetVarBlock name="arc_yyyy"><$MTArchiveDate format="%Y"$></MTSetVarBlock>
						<MTSetVarBlock name="arc_mm"><$MTArchiveDate format="%m"$></MTSetVarBlock>
						<MTIf name="arc_yyyy" eq="$run_yyyy">
							<li><a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a></li>
						<MTElse>
							<MTIf name="arc_mm" eq="12">
								<li><a href="<$MTBlogURL$><$MTVar name="arc_yyyy">/">All <$MTVar name="arc_yyyy"> Archives</a></li>
							</MTIf>
						</MTIf>
						<MTArchiveListFooter></ul></MTArchiveListFooter>
					</MTArchiveList>

You could reach what you've mentioned by replacing that coding with the following one:

<h3>Monthly Archive</h3>
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<MTArchiveListHeader><ul id="monthlist"></MTArchiveListHeader>
<li><a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a></li>
<MTArchiveListFooter></ul></MTArchiveListFooter>
</MTArchiveList>

Thanks for the help. But now, I need to move the new archive links over one character as the list is running up against the pictures, and does not line up with the categories list just above. How do I do that? poshposh.com for visual aid.

You're welcome!

I've checked your layout and in order to fix your alignment issue, you will have to place the two widgets called "Categories" and "Monthly Archive" within the following div:

<div class="content">
and:
</div>

Then I would also recommend you to remove the following two divs from your layout, which are not opened:

</div>

and:

</div>

Enjoy,
