This skintag was inspired by this post on Whoo's blog. In true "don't reinvent the wheel" spirit, I stole the js behind it ...... that Whoo already stole, so I'll just quote their credits :p

[quote]The Javascript and CSS is taken from two sources: The first being an article on ALA by the author, Kim Siever. The article references his production example at the University of Lethbridge Faculty of Management web site. It was there that I obtained the Javascript source.[/quote]

Ok, so, what's the plugin and what does it do? This plugin is a skin tag for displaying your archives. It's pretty much exactly the same as the normal archives plugin except it deals with "postbypost" in a different way. If you choose postbypost mode then your archives will be grouped by month and, if the user has js enabled, they will also be expandable/collapsable.

This plugin has exactly the same parameters as the orginal archives plugin.

As always to use this skintag, download [media phoenix/plugins/extraarchives.plugin.zip]this file[/media] and upload it to your plugins directory.

Go into admin for your blog and choose the settings tab and then the plugins subtab, and click the install link for the plugin.

In your skins use :-

$Plugins->call_by_code( 'ext_Arch', array( // params arary
) );

*edit*

This plugin has now been released for the Dawn version of [b2evo] you can find full details here
