Archived Content

This Module shows Articles that have been set to Archived. The Articles are available behind a Month/Year directory list, as shown in the example below.

Selecting a month link shows a screen like the one below.

Articles are stored by creation date not archival date. Only those months and years with archived Articles will be displayed. This list is generated automatically.

The Module Type name for this is "mod_archive". This module does not relate to any other component. This Module provides functionality that is similar to the Archived Article List Layout available on the Menu Item Manager New / Edit screen.

Module Parameters

• Count. The number of months to show in the module. When the Archived Articles filter shows, you may retrieve archived Articles from any month by changing the filter settings.

  • Enter this parameter with a leading space to create a new CSS class for this module. Enter the parameter without a leading space to change the CSS class name for this module.
  • See the tutorial Using Class Suffixes in Joomla! 1.5/1.6 for more information.

Advanced Parameters
