Fuel Blog Module - Archive of a category

jay_adhome

Is there a native way to show the archive (ex October 2013) of just a particular category within the fuel blog module? I can always edit the model to filter archives by a category but was hoping it was just a feature I had overlooked as I prefer not to touch core files of a module.

Are you using the FUEL 1.0 beta or 0.93 (currently the master branch)?

I just posted a change to the blog module for the separated out blog module that is compatible with 1.0. This allows the following URL structures:
blog/categories/my_category/2013
blog/categories/my_category/2013/04
blog/categories/my_category/2013/04/01

1.0 Beta, nightly pull of both Fuel and Blog Module.

Brilliant. I just pulled down the update and it works perfectly.

Thanks again for the amazing product and support.

Any chance we can get get_post_archives from Fuel_blog to accept 'category' as a param as well?

admin

Sure. I just added that as well:
blog/archives/{category}

You'll need to pull down from the latest FUEL-CMS-Blog-Module git repo:

Excellent, thanks again, works great.

One more question about the blog module. The docs mention a method for Post model called get_categories('[order]'). I don't see it in blog_posts_model (just get_categories_linked). Is it in a different model possibly?

admin

It's a magic method due to the has_many associations made near the top of the model. More can be read here:
