Full Version: Multiple Archive Links for the same month

Has anyone else experienced a problem where you have multiple archive links appearing for the same month? If you check out this site Cube 150.30 and look at the right side menu you'll notice that I have 4 links for December 2003 and 3 links for January 2004. Each one going to the correct archive. I have checked my main index template for multiple
CODE
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a>
in the
CODE
<MTArchiveList> </MTArchiveList>
tags but there is just the one. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks,
Joe

Can you post the chunk of code in the MTArchive tags including those tags?

Edit: And a line or two before and after.

Here is the code snippet that you asked to see crys.
CODE
<div class="sidetitle">
Archives
</div>

<div class="side">
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Monthly">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>
</div>

<div class="sidetitle">
Recent Entries
</div>

<div class="side">
<MTEntries lastn="10">
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a><br />
</MTEntries>
</div>


I have not edited this template other than putting in the mt author nickname tags and my own personal links.
I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Joe

go to ure weblog config > archiving. Are there two monthly arhives set up or only one? If only won try deleting it, delete all appropriate files on the webserver, add the archiving again and reuild all files ! If there are two monthly archives setup remove the appropriate one !

I tried deleting the monthly archive and the recreating it and still the same thing. I looked in my Local Archive Path and have just one for each month. I deleted the files, did a rebuild, and it recreates them. So I don't think it looks at what files you have. I looked in the database and my blog_archive_type is 'Individual,Monthly,Category' and my blog_archive_type_prefered is 'Individual'. This is effecting every blog on my server. I have no clue what it is. I'm stumped. I have been looking at this for days. Any ideas?

A co-worker thinks this may be a 2.65 bug. Has anyone else had this problem?

I tried exporting all entries and then importing them. That worked, however, as soon as you make a new post, the problem comes back. It has something to do with the HTML creation that is making the multiple archives. I tried changing it to "Daily" and it does the same thing. You can look at the results here.

When did this become an issue? In other words, did it start displaying the monthly archives in double when you first created the blog, or after one month of archives had been created (if that makes any sense)?

The reason I ask is that the blog I recently created shows an archive for January 2004, but it is NOT doubled. I am wondering if I will experience this problem in February. If not, then your problem most likely has to do with the archive configuration.

I posted this question on experts exchange, it's worth 500 points.

I can only recall seeing this happen once before, a year and a half ago.

He also did the re-import thing, and it too worked until he rebuilt again.

It turned out to be a problem with his server - but what specific problem was either never determined or has long since faded from my memory. huh.gif

It might be worth a look to examine the whole index template. I don't know if it's the cause of the problem, or just something related, but the links on the calendars of both web logs are not being created correctly.

The effect is most dramatic at this link - the calendar is only showing a link for the 15th and there should be links to entries from 7 different days.

At the RSS Server Link, there should be calendar links for the 2nd, 6th, 15th, 21st, and 22nd, but the calendar is missing the links for the 2nd and 15th.

UPDATE:

I created a new MT install from a iMac running a BRAND NEW Mac OS X Server 10.3 install. I exported the entries and imported them into the imac, and guess what...the SAME PROBLEM! Check it out:

It has to be a bug. If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be all 31 flavors of happy. Thanks again!

I have the same problem. It just started with 2.661 and a server upgrade to Mac OS X Server 10.3 You can see it here:

It is driving me crazy!!

It happens to one other blog that i have on it.

Also the recent links are not in chronological order, and to top it off all of my times and dates were turned to garbage! I was able to fix the the creation date by copying the data from the modification date into the creation date since they were the same. This happened after the first rebuilt with the new update.

I wonder if it's the update, the database getting corrupted or what! I am stumped!!

I think I'll revert to the old version and see what happens.

EUREKA!


Found a solution to this.

It appears that the MySql server that comes bundle with Panther OS X 10.3.2 server has a bug in the way it handles date and times and other functions. The solution is to update the MySql server to the latest standalone from mysql.com (Ver. mysql-standard-4.0.17.dmg) You can follow the instructions on entropy.ch on the update and this explanation on macosxhints.com is also good:

I am also using PHPNuke and it was messing with my user posts count as well in phpbb.

I am once again a happy camper!
