I have the following code in a dynamic individual archive:



which, as you can see, is supposed to generate links to the previous and next entries. Unfortunately, when I view one of the archives which this template generates, MT appears put the current entry's date in both places where MTEntryDate is used, instead of the date of the previous or next entry. Is that the right behaviour?

I can't use MTEntryLink or MTEntryPermalink as this archive template is not the "preferred" one as defined in the Weblog Config, so I have to construct the (virtual) path in the above way.

When you say it's not the "preferred one", do you mean as defined on the Preferences screen, or on the Archive Files screen, where you have multiple archives of that type and this one does not have the radio button beside it selected?

I mean as defined on the Archive Files screen: I have two different Individual Archive templates, and this one does not have the radio button selected.

Does this behavior only exist when using dynamic page generation? I believe I am having a similar issue with the Previous and Next showing the same entry.

It goes away if I am using static pages, but when I use dynamic, it comes back, but not all of the time.

Yes, it only seems to occur with dynamic pages. If I switch the template to static, the tags produce the correct dates.

This definitely seems to be a bug. I created a stripped-down monthly archive which consisted solely of:



and set it to dynamic building. For the current month, it resulted in this output:



Notice how the dates next to each entry inside MTEntryNext and MTEntryPrevious match the date of the current entry.
