Finally getting around to releasing some more plugins. I started using the Fancy Archives plugin by Andrew Rader about the same time I started using his Fancy Categories plugin (maybe in the reverse order actually). I have been modifying it for some time now, and it seems appropriate to release it as a new plugin. The functionality is best described by simply looking at my archives list on this blog. The default wordpress archives list is a simple unordered list. This plugin gives it some dynamic capabilities, similar to the default on Blogger. I have decided to keep increasing the version number from what Andrew was using, so I am calling this version 0.6. Here are the main highlights:
- Changed name from Fancy Archives to Collapsing Archives
- Changed author from Andrew Rader to Robert Felty
- Added option to link to archives.php
- Added option to list in chronological or reverse chronological order
- Added triangles which mark the collapsing and expanding features
That is, clicking on the triangle collapses or expands, while clicking
on a month or year links to the archives for the said month or year - Changed behavior from starting all expanded and then collapsing on page
load to the opposite - Removed the rel=’hide’ and rel=’show’ tags, because they are not xhtml
1.0 compliant. Now uses the CSS classes instead
You can download it from the WordPress plugin repository.
