I have received a couple of requests for custom versions of my nicer archives. Without revealing my suitors, I will try to get the code out to everyone. This version of my “Nicer Archives” allows the removal of one category from all of the archives (such as photomatt’s asides) and the default view only lists archives from the present month.
The example archives are here:
http://weblogtoolscollection.com/narchives101.php
The source can be downloaded here:
http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/narchives101.phps
The installation instructions are included at the top of the file above.
I am entertaining a couple of other requests for these archives. If you have suggestions or would like a quick modification, please let me know!
What a nice job! A very good thing indeed would be listbox showing all available categories and the option to select one or more categories in it.
To top it off, a logic to show an article with +1 more categories only one would be outragously great.
But still: its a very good thing.

I have been racking my brain. I am not a php noob, but I cannot get pest a parse erre at:
function show_year_select() {
    global $wpdb,$tableposts,$m;
Has anyone done a version with a dropdown box for months?
Nice. Don’t know if you notice, if you’ve got the wp-calendar on the narchives.php page, it resets to the beginning of the year (Jan 2004). Very odd, and ultimately, I removed the calendar from the archives page. It’s not really necessary, but I kinda liked it there.
I parrot j.d.’s comment: dropdown boxes for months would be great.
Hee hee. I played around with it a bit and I ended up sticking with WordPress. 😉 Muchos gracias!!
I love what you’ve created! It’s probably one the most useful WP hacks I’ve come across in a while. I do have one question though, is there going to be any fix for the “bug” (I know it isn’t really a bug) that doesn’t let you click on any of the posts that don’t have a title? I’m pretty sure there is an easy way to just put (Untitled) when no title is returned.
Hi, does this version work with WP2? Or will there be a compatible version soon?
Hi, I’ve been using NA for while – thanks!! I upgraded to WP2 and don’t know how to make the asides not to show in list. Is there any way how to do that?
