Last July, as in July ’03, I posted<\/a> about some modifications I made to MoveableType. One thing I had done was a plugin for SETI stats, the other was an actual code modifcation for a “recently archived” sidebar item instead of recently posted. Well, somewhere along the way I seem to have lost that code modification as I noticed my “recently archived” item wasn’t working right. And wouldn’t you know it, I seemed to have made a really boneheaded mistake of not saving the code anywhere! To make a long story short, I figured out, once again, how to do it. It’s my goal to make sure I don’t ever have to spend another couple hours figuring this one out, so I’m gonna post the patch here. As an added bonus, that means other people can use it, too :).<\/p>\n

Mostly it’s a duplicate of the block for $args->{days}<\/code>, but with some modifications to make it do a starting and<\/em> ending date. The template block to get this in my sidebar is (I may tweak these number is the future, but it’s just a config option):<\/p>\n
<div class=\"sidetitle\">\r\nRecently Archived\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"side\">\r\n<MTEntries days=\"60\" days_offset=\"21\">\r\n<a xhref=\"<$MTEntryPermalink$>\" mce_href=\"<$MTEntryPermalink$>\"><$MTEntryTitle$><\/a><br \/>\r\n<\/MTEntries>\r\n<\/div><\/pre>\n
This will put any entry from 21-81 old days under the “recently archived” heading. This is, of course, a modification to the version of MoveableType that I’m running, which is version 2.64. If you’re running a different version, your results may very.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
