Weekly Journal
Hk001 - October 28, 2009 - 15:52
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a way to create weekly journals in a such a way that every week the journal of that week will be published on the frontpage. After that week, the journal moves to an archive and the next journal gets on the frontpage.
There probably are many ways to do this, but I'm not familiar with them. I've looked at the modules Weekly Archive by Node Type, E-Journal etc., but I can't get them working right. So, before I put a huge amount of time to them (it has been quite some time already) I would like to know how this functionality should be realized.
Thanks in advance!

How about a simple approach
Pick a content type for your journal entries, I would suggest the blog type but any will work.
Make a view that displays the newest journal entry (sort by Node:created, filter by Node:type)
Edit the header/footer (your choice) to add a link to the archive (see below).
Add a page display give it a path.
Save the view
Visit Administer › Site configuration › Site information. Set "Default front page" to the path for your view.
The archive
If you use the blog content type you already have and archive at blogs/{uid} where {uid} is your user id.
If not using the blog content type you can use views to make an archive page (simple views makes one quickly).
Quick response!
Hi,
Thanks for the quick response! It works indeed!
Is there a way to insert a dynamic variable into the taxonomyfilter in views? E.g date("W")?
