My problem is this. On my category archive pages I would like the following:

CODE

<h1>December, 2002</h1>
<h2>December 31, 2002</h2>
<p>post</p>
<h2>December 20, 2002</h2>
<p>post>
...
<h1>November, 2002</h1>
<h2>November 30, 2002</h2>
<p>post</p>
<h2>November 20, 2002</h2>
<p>post>
...

Basically I need an MTIfNewMonth tag so that I can choose display code within the MTEntries tag only if it is a new month. Or perhaps that is overly complex. If you can think of any way to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.

There isn't a tag to do this, but you might try something in PHP which should handle it without a problem.

Check out Scriptygoddess.com. They have a show/hide Comments script that you might could adapt to do what you are looking for.

Christopher Laco wrote a DateHeaders plugin that includes MTMonthHeader and MTMonthFooter tags. I think it'll do what you're looking for. See this thread.

Thanks. I installed the MTDateHeaders plugin but it seems to be completely disregarding the tags that it supposedly enabled. I am not sure exactly why.

I'll assume you put MTDateHeaders.pm in ./extlib and MTDateHeaders.pl in ./plugins, and also have Date::Calc v5+ installed?

By ignore, do you mean that the new tagds print in the page instead of getting replaced?
