Hello,
I was looking at this and was thinking of sorting articles by date in
velocity, but facing some difficulty in it. Can you recommend me how to
go with this and if I have to make new class file and write some code
for this, where I have to write all this. I will be thankful if you can
get me some help or any resources in roller of study its structure.
Thanks
Gaurav

Yes, enter a JIRA and attach a patch (svn diff -u > myPatch.patch will
do).

Hello Glen,
Actually, you are right about the importance of this, as users
usually searchby date for any blog, unless you are blogging about a
particular topic on a certain day of the week.
I was also thinking about the tree structure in side menu, rather
than a page. I can contribute to this and make a new macro so, user
can include that in their side menu. Just want to know what steps I
have to follow to add this enhancement/patch to Roller. Do I have to
file any JIRA ? Can you please guide me into this.
Thanks
Gaurav

Hmm, I might argue that the date a blog article is posted is of
secondary importance to its content, e.g., I group my blog entries
by subject: http://www.jroller.com/gmazza/entry/blog_article_index,
date is largely irrelevant. Wouldn't your tree view be more useful
if it was broken up by category and blog articles underneath instead
of by dates?
Another problem with emphasizing dates is that they make blogs look
obsolete more quickly, because sometimes months go by at a time
before someone blogs again, and a date archive then makes the blog
look inactive. Having lists by category gives a blog a much longer
shelf life, and doesn't "punish" a blogger who maintains his older
entries instead of just entering in new entries.
The blog archive page is probably seldom used today (you may be
better off removing it), the tree view you're contemplating might be
better in a side menu of a blog (just like here:
http://coheigea.blogspot.com/ [1]). A macro that would provide the
data allowing something like [1] to be constructed would be a nice
enhancement to Roller (but, actually, we may already be able to
support that--I'm not sure.) Patches to Roller JIRA welcome.
The current archive page *could* be useful if you're always blogging
about a particular topic on a certain day of the week. If Wednesdays
you're always blogging about X and Fridays always Y a calendar view
does a better job of allowing someone to get to all "X" or "Y"
articles better than the tree view in [1].
Regards,
Glen

Hello,
The archives which are now show as in calender. There are some
shortcoming of that is we can't see the whole list of blogs month
and year wise.
There can have some sort of tree structure or we can have some
different macro, so we can redesign the archives page as user want.
