How to Display SharePoint Blog Post Archives

Toni Frankola - January 15, 2009

While browsing End User SharePoint Forums I stumbled upon an interesting questions from idosp:

How does one go about setting up an Archiving “list” on a SharePoint OOB blog? Where all the Nov 2008 entries display? Dec 2008? Jan 2009, etc.? Can this be done with OOB?

Indeed, most blog engines allow you to display a list of blog posts grouped by month. Unfortunately out of the box SharePoint blog sites do not give you that ability. Here is a simple solution (no codding required :)) on how to overcome that limitation.

  • Download webpart
  • Check live implementation on Dan Lewis’s blog
  • Read the original article…

    Hi,
    Can’t get this one to work out as I expect it to….

    I get:

    “Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.”

    Any suggestions?

    Mats, are you using default English language SharePoint blog site or something else?

  • Attiq July 16, 2009 at 7:52 am

    Hi
    I am getting exact same error as Mats. I am using default English Template.
    I see that we can edit the XSL in property panel but not sure what to change.
    Any Suggestion please ?
    Thanks
    Attiq

    @Attiq: Can you save your site as template (.stp) and email it to my-firstname.my-lastname@gmail.com?

    Toni: Any tips on how to add a 2nd filter value? I would like to only show the number of approved blog posts per month (vs all posts, as is the default for the webpart).

  • Toni Frankola August 28, 2009 at 11:23 am

    Not a problem. This is a standard Data View Web part.

    Add this one to your page and then learn more about creating custom filters for it:

    That makes sense — how about when you can’t use sharepoint designer? I’m forced to edit solely through the browser 🙁

  • Toni Frankola August 28, 2009 at 12:11 pm

    You cannot do it without SPD. The only option would be to hire someone to do it for you.

  • chrisbaird August 31, 2009 at 9:39 am

    Turns out I can use SPD — I’ve tried adding a simple Approval Status = Approved filter through the Common Data View Tasks menu. Once added, it kills the webpart — I get data view error from the server in SPD’s Design view.

    @Chris: Can you post the actual error… you are probably misusing a column or something.
