Fixed the issues about nested month listings and what have you, along with a few code modifications for sexier usage. Version 3.1 is available, as always, at https://blindmuse.com/blog/2004/03/31/group-archives-by-year/.

Cheers.

teezeh: I e-mailed you after you left a comment on my site, but I have yet to receive a response from you. I’d like to know where you are placing the function call for this plugin so that I can help figure out what is going on. If you could please give me some more info, either here, or by email ( chuckg ET blindmuse DOT com ), I’d be happy to help you.
Valentine’s question / suggestion has led to a re-release of this plugin, version 3.0 with the added functionality and some fixed up queries to speed things up. The updated plugin can be found where it has been, at

blackc2004:
Sure, what you’re looking to do really isn’t all that hard to implement whatsoever. We can do it one of two ways: the first is for me to rewrite a second plugin with just the basic function that you are looking for, or to just tell you how to modify the current plugin to get what you need/want. I prefer the latter, so that’s what I’ll describe here.

1. On line 31, you should see:
   $use_stylesheet = 1;
   Set that to 0.
2. On line 101, you should see:
   add_filter('the_content', 'add_post_counts');
   Put two // in front of it. This will keep the plugin from automatically adding the counts to your more text if you *do* use it.
3. Put this somewhere in your code to get the post counts to print:
   <?php
$postcounts = get_post_counts("0"); // 1 to show image counts, 0 to not.
echo $postcounts;
?>

That’s it. Should work the way in which you want it to, with minimal work. Feel free to email me if you have any problems, use the contact link on my site, blindmuse.com. Hope it all goes well.

I might as well state that the above (^) is me. It should also be noted that if you want an example of what I’m talking about, you should refer to the “archives” links over to the right of my site. That’s a prime example of what they can look like with a little CSS style.

otto: sorry about the downtime; I wasn’t aware due to finals and what have you. In any case, I’ve got the site back up on a temporary basis and the files are now available on https://www.blindmuse.com for download .
podz: thanks for that ??

Hey sorry about the downtime guys. My webserver / host went down and didn’t inform me; on top of that it was finals week and I’ve been busy finding a summer job and what not. In any case, I’ve got the site back up on a temporary basis. You can find the code there now from a link on the main page.
@kristin: Yes, this is very possible. In fact it’s so possible, I’ve already started coding it into the next release. Check back here for updates.

The current workup of WP-Gallery doesn’t support 1.2 “officially” yet. I need to code in some new stuff to work with the new plugin architecture. In any case, if you’re adventurous (or know PHP) it’s easy enough to figure out. Email me if you have any questions.

The hack now has the ability to define styles for specific authors as well, per NuclearMoose’s request. The update is seamless with the old method, but now you have the ability to define either a style for one post specifically, or have the posts for an entire author styled a unique way.
Check out my site for details on the update: blindmuse -> Per-Post Styles

Nuclearmoose: Of course it can silly! Right now the functionality is already there, just follow the directions as is and have authors put in a stylesheet that they want specific to their posts. So if you have 3 different authors, just make a stylesheet for each author.
I know, of course, that you are referring to the style being set automatically based on the author. I can add it, like I said, but it’d be more like an array with the authors in it and the style you want set for them, not as cool as the current system.

I might suggest giving it a look in Opera … the top “head” bar does not seem to span correctly and it also looks as if there’s a few minor placement issues. Overall though, welcome here. YAMC woo woo! Reminds me of the YMCA song though when I say it out loud … Your MT Cohorts Arrive!

I’m going to assume you mean on a per post basis … following that assumption I can gladly point you in the direction of a plugin I just released two days ago. It can be found at: https://www.blindmuse.com/archive/2004/05/24/addword-image-counts-to-wp-12/
Hope that helps.

Believe it or not matius, it’s a very simple trick that I’m sure you thought of but wrote off as being “too easy”. All I did was layout the site in Photoshop, make one flat image with the lightened portion cut right into the unlightened area and lay the div/layer right over it without a background. Voila.
I’m sure I could have used some fancy CSS stuff to have it change the alpha level with the layer and such, but that would over complicate things in my opinion and it seems to have some affect when scrolling in IE.

Works in 1.01, not sure which version you guys are using. It allows you to change the text as well as add word/image counts to the text.

Update: I’ve updated one of the functions that is used in the hack, namely the get_year_link(). This update really only affects those users who are not using the permalink structure, but for functinality sake, I suggest everyone make the update.
ardklg: No I haven’t. The reason I haven’t done so yet is time, and time is of the essence. I would imagine it would not be too hard to implement however, a simple javascript to handle the event of hiding layers and what not.
Cheers.

lomara: You’re not the first to ask for this, I just haven’t had the time to get 1.2 up and running to see what it will take to make the necessary adjustments. I do plan on doing it, however, so “bare” (or is it bear?) with me until then.
