pyarchives - Builds month/year-based archives li...

Summary

Walks through your blog root figuring out all the available monthly archives in your blogs. It generates html with this information and stores it in the $(archivelinks) variable which you can use in your head and foot templates.

Install

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

1. Add Pyblosxom.plugins.pyarchives to the load_plugins list in your config.py file.
2. Configure using the following configuration variables.

archive_template

Let’s you change the format of the output for an archive link.

For example:

py['archive_template'] = ('<li><a href="%(base_url)s/%(Y)s/%(b)s">'
                          '%(m)s/%(y)s</a></li>')

This displays the archives as list items, with a month number, then a slash, then the year number.

The formatting variables available in the archive_template are:

b         'Jun'
m         '6'
Y         '1978'
y         '78'

These work the same as time.strftime in python.

Additionally, you can use variables from config and data.

Note

The syntax used here is the Python string formatting syntax—not the Pyblosxom template rendering syntax!

Usage

Add $(archivelinks) to your head and/or foot templates.
