function get_archives($type=”, $limit=”, $format=’html’, $before = “”, $after = “”, $show_post_count = false)
type = one of ‘monthly’, ‘daily’, ‘weekly’, or ‘postbypost’, empty = use option configured type
limit = limit number of entries/months/weeks/etc. returned
format = one of ‘link’, ‘option’, ‘html’ or empty
link will output link rel=”archives” entries
option will output option value= entries for use in a form
html will output list item links
empty will use the before and after params
before is for text/html to be output before the link
after is for text/html to be output after the link (and also after the link but before the closing list item tag in html mode)
show_post_count = whether to show a count of posts for that month (only works in monthly mode)
Hope this helps,
Mike
Clearly, I’m out of my league.
I would use get_archives(weekly,,option) if I wanted to override the default, and have a dropdown list for my archives, on a weekly basis? or would I have to manipulate the function directly (which is not optimal, as I use CVS builds)?
Try something like this (taken from this thread):
<form name=”archiveform” action=””>
<select name=”archive” onchange=”window.open(document.forms.archiveform.archive[document.forms.archiveform.archive.selectedIndex].value);”>
<?php get_archives(‘weekly’,”,’option’); ?>
</select>
</form>
I’m not 100% on the javascript but I think it should work.

Feature Request: An optional categor(y|ies) parameter, which would let us use this on individual post pages to list other posts in the same category … that would be really nice.
