yeararchives - Builds year-based archives listing....

Summary

Walks through your blog root figuring out all the available years for the archives list. It stores the years with links to year summaries in the variable $(archivelinks). You should put this variable in either your head or foot template.

Install

This plugin comes with Pyblosxom. To install, do the following:

  1. Add Pyblosxom.plugins.yeararchives to the load_plugins list in your config.py file.
  2. Add $(archivelinks) to your head and/or foot templates.
  3. Configure as documented below.

Usage

When the user clicks on one of the year links (e.g. http://base_url/2004/), then yeararchives will display a summary page for that year. The summary is generated using the yearsummarystory template for each month in the year.

My yearsummarystory template looks like this:

<div class="blosxomEntry">
<span class="blosxomTitle">$title</span>
<div class="blosxomBody">
<table>
$body
</table>
</div>
</div>

The $(archivelinks) link can be configured with the archive_template config variable. It uses the Python string formatting syntax.

Example:

py['archive_template'] = (
    '<a href="%(base_url)s/%(Y)s/index.%(f)s">'
    '%(Y)s</a><br />')

The vars available with typical example values are:

Y      4-digit year   ex: '1978'
y      2-digit year   ex: '78'
f      the flavour    ex: 'html'

Note

The archive_template variable value is formatted using Python string formatting rules–not Pyblosxom template rules!
