Use "for each" to group posts by year?

    Hello Eliot/CCS users,

    I’m wondering if it’s possible to use the “for each” shortcode/function with the post date/year, to group my galleries by year.

    Now I use a custom taxonomy “Gallery year” to get what I want, with this code:

    [for each="gallery-year" orderby="name" order="DESC"]
<h2>[each name]</h2>
<div class="gallery-page">
[loop type="gallery"]
<div class="gallery-item">[field image-link size="gallery-cover"]<span class="gallery-title">[field title-link]</span></div>
[/loop]
</div>
[/for]

    Do you think it is possible?

    Thanks in advance!

    Peter

    It might be possible with [pass] – but you would have to specify the years.

    [pass list=2012,2013,2014,2015]
  Year: {ITEM}
  [loop type=gallery year={ITEM}]
    ..
  [/loop]
[/pass]

    Thank you very much for your time and your suggestion.

    When I use your code and specifies years in the future (for example 2016), there will be only a title “Year: 2016” but (of course) there are no galleries yet.

    The following code resolved this problem:

    [pass list=2020,2019,2018,2017,2016,2015,2014]
  [loop type=gallery year={ITEM} count=1]
   Year: {ITEM}
    [-loop type=gallery year={ITEM}]
    ...
    [/-loop]
  [/loop]
[/pass]

    Now I don’t have to add a new year every year (until 2020 :-)). If there is no gallery in a year, the “Year: ….” will not show.

    Without “count=1” there will be as many same years as galleries in that year.

    Oh yes, I’ve come across a similar situation and here’s an efficient way with one loop:

    [pass list=2012,2013,2014,2015,2016]
  [loop type=gallery year={ITEM}]
    [if first]Year: {ITEM}[/if]
    ..
  [/loop]
[/pass]

    That will display the title only if a matching post exists.

    As I said before: you’re awesome!
    Thanks again!
