Extended Live Archives
After upgrading to WordPress 2.6 from 2.5.1, when trying to view the admin/options page for the Extended Live Archives plugin I received a few errors. However, the plugin when accessed from my site, http://www.theglitch.ws/archives, is still working. I actually found the issue and had to edit one file. You can download the fixed file here. Just unzip the file and upload it to the following location;
/wp-content/plugins/af-extended-live-archive/
You will be replacing the af-extended-live-archive.php file with what’s within the zip file. Please leave me a comment if you did this & it fixed your issue.
UPDATE: 12/28/2008 – You can download the plugin here with all the patches already applied. I’m currently using this with WordPress 2.7.

Did you also patch the files from here?

Ah, yes, just remembered to apply those patches. I no longer get the db errors (whew), but ELA does not display on the archives page. Odd.
Fwiw, I added within the_post() loop of my archives.php template file…

*Ahem* I keep forgetting that PHP is stripped out of comments. I was referring to .

The af_ela_super_archive(); call, dang it.

Sorry about the frequent posts, but I think I found a bug on line 269 of af-extended-live-archive.php. The link in the Settings admin menu for Ext. Live Archive results in a 404, instead of loading the page for ELA’s options.

You may have to edit yours as I know a couple people have used my “patched” file and the Settings – Admin menu loads fine.

I think I figured something out: I grabbed the patched version, which clobbered af-ela-style.css and af-extended-live-archive.js.php. I copied those 2 files over, and lo! ELA finally displays.
There are some layout issues, but I’ll tweak to see if I can resolve those.
Thanks for your patience. Next time I’ll doublecheck to ensure that the patched version has all of the appropriate files!

Still doesn’t work I’m afraid. I do believe I’ve taken both the patches and applied them correctly, in the proper order.
Nothing really displays on the archive page (as you can see) – but the admin page works fine. (I used to have v10b5 installed).

There seems to have been a problem with the cache – after a re-upload it all works.
Thanks for patching it! (Have you thought about combining the patches and uploading it to Wordpress Plugins?)

Thanks for the plugin upgrade. I having issues with it. When you get chance can you check my archives page and let me know what’s wrong.
Thanks

An, you’ve made your Archive page as a “page” in Wordpress, but (probably) haven’t made it use archives.php
Also, archives.php is where you should put the code to make ELA show.
—-
if (function_exists(‘af_ela_super_archive’)) {
af_ela_super_archive();
}
—- (between ?php and ? brackets!)
is preferable, as the archive page will still display when the ELA plugin is off.

Oops, meant to add that you can look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Archive_Index for more information on creating archive pages.

hi the version of this plugin at the WP repository located here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-extended-live-archive/
does not work for me. however your version above does.
However there are clearly differences between the two, including the official plugin still going by the old ‘Extended Live Archives’ name with version 0.10 attached to it; and your version above which goes by ‘ELA 2′ with version 1.0 attached to it.
I don’t know how well you two developers know each other, but is there any way for you to work together to ensure that the versions being put out there have the same code and are compatible with as many installs as possible?
I’m running on PHP 5.2.x and WP 2.7.1 – thanks.
