rss_suparchive updates (0.18)

Version 17 is old news. Version 18 is here. It has many significant updates based on some reported issues and suggestions I’ve received over the past few months:

New Features

  • Wildcards and negatives can also be used when specifying sections. For instance, section=”*” (all sections, regardless of how many), section=”!photos,writing,thoughts” (writing AND thoughts AND NOT photos), or just section=”!photos” (all sections except photos). This was added as proposed by Andrew here
  • Fix offset issue mentioned by cap_nemo here
  • Add display of comments count with the addition of showcommentscount, showzerocount, countprefix and countsuffix attributes to suparchive and suparchive_bycat.
  • Use strftime for date display to allow for localization of month and day names
  • Fix code warnings thrown by TXP in debugging mode

IMPORTANT

With the change from php date formatting to strftime formatting to allow for localization, the syntax for date formatting must be changed if you are setting the dateformat or subdateformat attributes in your plugin calls.

For example: Change “F j, Y” to ”%B %d, %Y”. Until the changes are made, your dates will not show up properly.

Yes, that’s pretty much how my archive on this site looks. Check the lab for examples.

Hi Rob,

Long time user/reader, first time poster. I just love your plugins, and even downloaded your new excerpt one to my dev environment—at last, an improved solution!

I was wondering if there is a way to use rss_suparchive to get the MONTH as the links, but not include the year in the link text, but rather have the months grouped by the year they are in?

Something like:
2006
Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug

2005
Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec

If so, what would the tag look like? If not, are you aware of another way I could achieve this?

Many thanks – keep up the great work!

I agree with the other commenters—this is a fantastic plugin.

I am noticing a small issue, and I can’t decide if it’s intentional or not: If I include excerpts with the archive links, the textile markup is displayed in the excerpt text rather than processed by the Textile processor. Since Textile markup doesn’t make the text un-readable it’s not a big deal, but I can’t tell if this is just an anomaly with my setup or if it’s the design of the plugin.

Rob: did anyone contact you about this odd little issue with rss_suparchive ?

Apart from this, it’s a great plugin. I’ve been using it since (I think) version 6. Thanks!
