Plugin Description

When you use the [smarter-archives] shortcode anywhere in a post or a page, it gets replaced by a listing of every year since you started posting, with a list of links to each month for that year. However, the plugin is smart enough to know if you didn’t create any content in any given month, and doesn’t make a link for that month. See the Screenshots section for an example of it in action.

See the Usage section for a complete list of the arguments the shortcode takes, and how you can use them to customize your archives listing.

The month names are internationalized with the WordPress translation API. A POT file is included, and if you want to translate please feel free to do so and submit a new pull request on GitHub. If you do not know how to use GitHub, you can also contact me directly. Here are the translations that have been done so far:

  • Dutch (nl_NL)
  • French (fr_FR)
  • German (de_DE)
  • Italian (it_IT)
  • Spanish (es_ES)
  • Russian (ru_RU)

The original concept for this plugin comes from a plugin by Justin Blanton.

Usage

The [smarter-archives] shortcode takes these arguments (default values included):

  • mode (default: output) — if it’s set to output, the plugin prints the listing. Set it to false to return the value
  • wrapper_class (default: smart-archives) — class given to the tag wrapped around the listing (<div> by default)
  • wrapper_tag (default: div) — tag wrapped around the listing
  • year_link_class (default: year-link) — class given to each year links
  • year_tag (default: p) — tag around each year group
  • year_class (default: none) — class for the tag around each year group
  • after_year (default: :) — value after the year and before the list of months
  • month_link_class (default: month-link) — class given to each month link
  • month_tag (default: span) — tag around each month
  • after_month (default: &nbsp;) — spacer between months
  • empty_month_class (default: empty-month) — class applied to empty months (can use this to gray them out)
  • order (default: DESC) — order the years are shown in (ASC for ascending, DESC for descending)

Advanced Usage

There is a function, get_smarter_archives(), that returns the raw array with the years, months, and post counts. You can use this for ultimate customization.

Example Usage

[smarter-archives order="DESC" after_month="&bull;"]<h3>License</h3>
