With “A Year Before” you can show the titles of the articles which were written a certain time ago. So you can show in a “historical corner”, what happend in your blog e.g. 30 days, 6 months or a year before. You also can use the “anniversary-mode”, which will display all the posts through the years, which were written on this day and month.
You can use it as a wordpress-widget or put it in your theme as a php-function with parameters.
<h3>Configuration</h3>

<ul>
<li>%title% The title of the article</li>
<li>%link% The link to the article</li>
<li>%date% The date of the article</li>
<li>%excerpt% The excerpt of the article. You can define the number of displayed characters bei appending the number like %excerpt80%, which will display 80 characters.</li>
<li>%thumbnail% The featured image of the article.</li>
</ul>

<li>range: number of days the plugin will search back in the future (relative to the values of day, month and year above) for an article. Meant as a “round about this day”-feature. Default 0</li>

</ul>

<pre><code>ayb_posts("day=30&before=&after= &showdate=0");
</code></pre>
Shows the titles of the articles written 30 days ago without showing the date. The articles will not been showed as a HTML-list but simply seperated by a linebreak <code> </code>.
<pre><code>ayb_posts("month=6&day=14&notfound=Nothing blogged on this day.");
</code></pre>
The titles of the articles written half a year and two weeks before, also showing the date . If there was no article written on that day, the output will be »Nothing blogged on this day.«
<pre><code>ayb_posts("range=14&dateformat=y-m-d");
</code></pre>
Looks up a year back for written articles. If none are found, the plugin will check the next 14 days in the future. If a article is found on some of this days, all articles of this day will be listed with a “year-month-day”-format.
<pre><code>ayb_posts("anniversary=1");
</code></pre>
Shows the title of all posts, which were posted on the same day in the same month, independend of the year. E.g. on chistmas day you will see all posts, which are posted on december 24th since the blog was started.
<h3>Styling</h3>
If you like CSS, you can style the date with the class <code>ayb_date</code>, the link of the article with the class <code>ayb_link</code> and the notfound-message by using the class <code>ayb_notfound</code>.
<h3>Uninstall</h3>
Deactivate the plugin, then select “delete” in the plugin-panel. The files and the options of this plugin will be deleted. Thank you for using “a year before”. 😉
