I'm putting together a news front-end based on specific forums in my vBulletin database and I would like to incorporate a Monthly Archive section.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. script checks specified news forums
2. aggregates data & outputs Month and Year (total threads)
- May 2004 (15)
- June 2004 (24)
- July 2004 (18)
- August 2004 (37)
3. link goes to page for that month and year made up off all the news threads -- /monthly_archive.php?m=may&y=2004&idstart=0&idend=14 (or something like that I'm assuming)
Here's the tricky part... I'm going to need the threadids in that date range -- my example above shows the range variables as
idstart and idend (I'm open to other methods)
This script is a little over my head, but I think it would be great hack to figure out.
* Working example http://davesipaq.com/archive.php?type=n (but I'm not interested in breaking it down into certain days - just full month)
