I posted about this in the IP Content Support forum here: http://community.inv...ed-articles-go/

Would it be possible to include a better link to archives in the next update than this icon:

 Archives.png   6.24KB   0 downloads

Of course we could change it, but note that the templates in the ACP are fully editable as it is - you can go in and change it to text, or move the link, or use a different icon, just by editing the article templates in IP.Content.

Could you show me how to change it so that by clicking into the links below would be changed they would go to the relevant archives?

You just append ?view=archive onto the link in the block template.

This is the block template, where would I add that in? (sorry, have no idea about PHP):

<php>
// Modify the array so that categories are hierarchical
$this->_categories = array();

foreach( $records as $r ){
$this->_categories[ $r['category']['category_parent_id'] ][ $r['category']['category_id'] ] = $r['category'];
}

$this->_database_url = ( $records[0] ) ? $this->registry->ccsFunctions->returnDatabaseUrl( $records[0]['category']['category_database_id'] ) : false;
//print_r( $this->_database_url );
</php>

<div id='category_list' class='general_box clearfix'>
<h3>{$this->lang->words['ab__categories']} <a href='{$this->_database_url}?view=categories'>{$this->lang->words['ab__seealllink']}</a></h3>
<ul>
<if test="is_array( $this->_categories ) && count( $this->_categories )">
<foreach loop="$this->_categories[0] as $r">
<li>
<a href='{$this->registry->ccsFunctions->returnDatabaseUrl( $r['category_database_id'], $r['category_id'] )}'>{$r['category_name']} (<b>{$r['category_records']}</b>)</a>
<if test="count( $this->_categories[ $r['category_id'] ] )">
<ul>
<foreach loop="$this->_categories[ $r['category_id'] ] as $sub">
<li>
<a href='{$this->registry->ccsFunctions->returnDatabaseUrl( $sub['category_database_id'], $sub['category_id'] )}'>{$sub['category_name']} (<b>{$sub['category_records']}</b>)</a>
</li>
</foreach>
</ul>
</if>
</li>
</foreach>
</if>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
<if test="$this->_database_url">
<div class='general_box clearfix' id='article_search'>
<h3>{$this->lang->words['ab__searcharticles']}</h3>
<form method='post' action='{$this->_database_url}' class='ipsPad'>
<input type='hidden' name='do' value='search' />
<input type='text' name='search_value' class='input_text' />
<input type='submit' value='{$this->lang->words['ab__searchbutton']}' class='input_submit' />
</form>
</div>
<br />
</if>

You don't need to know PHP. You need to know HTML.

<php>
// Modify the array so that categories are hierarchical
$this->_categories = array();
foreach( $records as $r ){
$this->_categories[ $r['category']['category_parent_id'] ][ $r['category']['category_id'] ] = $r['category'];
}
$this->_database_url = ( $records[0] ) ? $this->registry->ccsFunctions->returnDatabaseUrl( $records[0]['category']['category_database_id'] ) : false;
//print_r( $this->_database_url );
</php>
<div id='category_list' class='general_box clearfix'>
<h3>{$this->lang->words['ab__categories']} <a href='{$this->_database_url}?view=categories'>{$this->lang->words['ab__seealllink']}</a></h3>
<ul>
<if test="is_array( $this->_categories ) && count( $this->_categories )">
<foreach loop="$this->_categories[0] as $r">
<li>
<a href='{$this->registry->ccsFunctions->returnDatabaseUrl( $r['category_database_id'], $r['category_id'] )}?view=archive'>{$r['category_name']}  (<b>{$r['category_records']}</b>)</a>
<if test="count( $this->_categories[ $r['category_id'] ] )">
<ul>
<foreach loop="$this->_categories[ $r['category_id'] ] as $sub">
<li>
<a href='{$this->registry->ccsFunctions->returnDatabaseUrl( $sub['category_database_id'], $sub['category_id'] )}?view=archive'>{$sub['category_name']} (<b>{$sub['category_records']}</b>)</a>
</li>
</foreach>
</ul>
</if>
</li>
</foreach>
</if>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
<if test="$this->_database_url">
<div class='general_box clearfix' id='article_search'>
<h3>{$this->lang->words['ab__searcharticles']}</h3>
<form method='post' action='{$this->_database_url}' class='ipsPad'>
<input type='hidden' name='do' value='search' />
<input type='text' name='search_value' class='input_text' />
<input type='submit' value='{$this->lang->words['ab__searchbutton']}' class='input_submit' />
</form>
</div>
<br />
</if>

That might work. I didn't check.
