During the past 7 or so days, I was ocassionally working on some changes to the blog here. Besides several minor modifications (mostly to the CSS stylesheet, some corrections in the lifetype templates), I also added 2 slightly more important functionalities.
- I removed the old Archive links on the navigation to the left (they were pointing to individual months), and replaced them with a single page that contains ALL entries that I’ve ever written:
In order to get this done, I first wrote a small (ok, tiny! just a few lines of code in the end) plugin for lifetype, that fetches and returns all blog postings (somehow I couldn’t find this in the existing functionality, maybe I just overlooked it). This was my first PHP coding in a long time….
Additionally, I then created a Custom Template for this new Archive page, that applies the viewing logic to the long list of entries, and displays it as it can be seen above. - The second addition to the blog are ‘previous’ and ‘next’ links in the viewing page of the individual postings:
This makes it a lot easier to navigate through the blog posting by posting.
