Overview

The standard Archives widget doesn’t accept a lot of parameters. You can just specify

  • a title,
  • if you want to display posts count or not.

With the EG-Archives widget, you can choose

  • the title,
  • the format of the list (simple or dropdown list),
  • the type: Yearly, Monthly, …
  • category, to display archives for only specific categories,
  • Number of columns (1 or 2)

A specific type is added: the “mixed Yearly/monthly” type.
With this type, you can display list of archives in yearly mode before a specified year, and in monthly mode after this specified date. This type allows to shorten list, and is very useful if you don’t publish too many posts per year. Example:

  • August 2011
  • April 2011
  • February 2011
  • January 2011
  • 2010
  • 2009
