Full Version: Question about changing the archives

I want to change my individual archives to a filename that looks like this: mmddyy-this_is_a_file.html

In fact, I have been successful in doing this on my test blog.
The code I am using in the individual archive is:
CODE
<MTEntryDate format="%m%d%y"$>-<$MTEntryTitle trim_to="20" $ dirify="1"$>.html


I noticed in the example, that it started the code with "individual/ " when I tried this it actually created a separate directory in my archives named "individual" and posted the modified files there. I didn't want a separate directory. THe code I am using places it right in my archives folder.


The question I have is, will this mess up my other archives (month, category). Since MT does the entry normaly 1234.html is it really doing both what I want and what it wants somewhere else? Or phrased another way, am I setting myself up for problems doing this?


Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I edited your post to make the code display, but I'm not sure if the board ate some of it or if the dollar signs are just in weird places...

No, having the archives in the Archive URL in with the other Monthly and/or Category archives shouldn't hurt anything. smile.gif

Thank you! That eases my mind. Just didn't want to try it on my main blog until I knew for sure. biggrin.gif
