For the moment I am using Mambo, but want to try Drupal I have already some 200 articles that I will move over to Drupal. Does Drupal have something like an archive? I don't want to have links on my frontpage to all the 200 articles... In Mambo it is very easy to create an archive, but I have not found something similar in Drupal.
Thanks

3 options

the arcvhive.module in the downloads area
the archiver.module in the downloads area
the views.module in the downloads area.

Thanks!

I tried the archive.module and it works. There is one problem though. Let's say I have one article and add it to the archive. The archive.module will put a head over the article: Year 2007. October. That's fine.
If I do the same a couple of hours later, it will create a new head and put it over the newly archived item: Year 1970. January.

The problem is that it does not archive the new item under the first heading. Instead it keeps on creating new, irrelevant headings everytime I add articles to the archive.

Any clue?

I only went and located modules, using search that may suit your purpose. The January 1970 sounds like a date problem. PHP only recognizes dates from 1970 - present without the adodb library. Though I don't know if that module works with the adodb library. Are you using a current date ?

A bug report may be necessary using the archive.module project page, or investigate one of the other methods.

Am I using the current date? I don't know- I just installed the module.

Do you know how to patch the module? Now articles in the archive will also show up on the frontpage. There's a patch that change that. But since I am a complete phpnewbie I don't understand what I should to to change the module.

The clock on my pc shows correct time and date. But when I push the Archive button, it says "Year 1970
January". If I add something to the archive, it will say:

Archive
Year 1970
January

Year 2007
October
Name of article
