archive.module - cannot access 2006 dates (bug is caused by hardcoded date range) ...

The problem is caused by the hardcoded date range handling in archive.module.
Someone hacked it recently to extend the date to 2010, but that is an inappropriate hack that will only cause it to break again later. (remember the Y2K bug people??)

User lcd_47 provided a proper bug fix the other day that assembles the date range dynamically.

// Prepare the values of the form fields.
  $years = drupal_map_assoc(range(2000, 2010));
  $months = array(1 => t('January'), 2 => t('February'), 3 => t('March'), 4 => t('April'), 5 => t('May'), 6 => t('June'), 7 => t('July'), 8 => t('August'), 9 => t('September'), 10 => t('October'), 11 => t('November'), 12 => t('December'));
  $days = drupal_map_assoc(range(0, 31));

   // Prepare the values of the form fields.
-  $years = drupal_map_assoc(range(2000, 2005));
+  $eyear = date('Y', time());
+  $eyear = $eyear < $year ? $year : $eyear;
+  $syear = $eyear - 5;
+  $syear = $syear > $year ? $year : $syear;
+  $years = drupal_map_assoc(range($syear, $eyear));
   $months = array(1 => t('January'), 2 => t('February'), 3 => t('March'), 4 => t('April'), 5 => t('May'), 6 => t('June'), 7 => t('July'), 8 => t('August'), 9 => t('September'), 10 => t('October'), 11 => t('November'), 12 => t('December'));
   $days = drupal_map_assoc(range(0, 31));
