<p>Clean Archives Reloaded generates a list of all of your posts, sorted by month. It’s enhanced with Javascript to allow collapsing and expanding of months.</p>
<p>It’s highly efficient and won’t kill your server with tons of MySQL queries.</p>
<h4>Demo</h4>
<p>Check out one of my sites’ <a href="http://www.finalgear.com/post-archives/" rel="nofollow ugc">archive page</a>.</p>
<h3>Shortcode Tag Parameters</h3>
<p>You can customize the list options on a per-call basis if you wish.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>usejs</code> — (<code>1</code> or <code>0</code>) use Javascript or not to collapse the months</li>
<li><code>monthorder</code> — (<code>new</code> or <code>old</code>) show newest months or oldest months first</li>
<li><code>postorder</code> — (<code>new</code> or <code>old</code>) show newest posts or oldest posts first within months</li>
</ul>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<p>No Javascript:</p>
<pre><code>[cleanarchivesreloaded usejs="0"]
</code></pre>
<p>Oldest months first, oldest posts first:</p>
<pre><code>[cleanarchivesreloaded monthorder="old" postorder="old"]
</code></pre>

<p>This plugin will display your archive page in a nice way, just like on inoveryourhead.net</p>
<h4>Shortcode filtering</h4>
<p>If you are using the In Over Your Archives shortcode [ioya] to embed the plugin on a page and would like to do category filtering on<br />
your archive results, you may do so by providing the category slug(s) or ID(s), (or a mix) like so:</p>
<pre><code>[ioya cat='trees']
[ioya cat='03,45']
[ioya cat='trees,45,trucks']
</code></pre>
<h4>Customizing the template</h4>
<p>You can customize the look and feel of the archives pages.</p>
<p>Add a file called <code>ioya_month.php</code> to your theme directory and add a basic loop in it as follows:</p>
<pre><code><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <div class="post">    
        <div class="date">
            <div class="date-day"><?php the_time('j') ?></div>
            <div class="date-month"><?php the_time('M') ?></div>
        </div>
        <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
        <small>Posted by <?php the_author_link() ?> at <?php the_time('g:i A') ?></small>
        <div class="entry">
            <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</code></pre>
<p>Then modify as necessary.</p>
