Templates: Archives Dropdown Menu - Is this possible?

Post by Vogelein »

Hey, everybody. I'm seriously considering using S9y for my new Webcomic site, in order to make it easier to upload changes. What I want to do is make a site very similar to http://www.MegaTokyo.com, where only one entry appears on the front page at a time, and as each entry is archived, the Forward and Back buttons link between them. Lastly, I'd like to populate a dropdown menu with the archives, like MegaTokyo, so that users can jump to whatever date they'd like. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Yes, with latest snapshot versions you can set the amount of entries per page to "1". Then there's an additional plugin available which adds the "next entry / previous entry" functionality.

About the dropdown list, that could be easily done with a different plugin as well, though it would grow quite large. You may be equipped sufficiently already if you use the Calendar plugin and the archives listing per month...

Regards,
Garvin
