I am working on setting a default Worpress theme. I ran into the problem of formatting archive links.
The default theme uses the function wp_get_archivesdefined in general-template.php. The function output is configurable but not configurable enough for me.
I can achieve everything that I want to do, basically overriding this particular function in my file functions.php, but I hesitate to do this because it introduces regression problems when updating Wordpress. wp_get_archivesdoes all the elements of a lower level, for example, builds a database query and caches database results. I would really like to avoid this if I can.
Another way for me is to create a filter get_archives_link, after which the HTML link is already formatted, and I will need to run a bunch of regular expressions to figure this out. It seems to me completely the opposite, as it will completely destroy performance.
Here is what I need for the output:
<li><a href="/year/01">JAN</a></li>
<li class="current"><a href="/year/02">FEB</a></li>
<li>MAR</li>
...
As far as I can see, the wp_get_archivesanchor code is hard:
$text = sprintf(__('%1$s %2$d'), $wp_locale->get_month($arcresult->month), $arcresult->year);
Then the question arises of adding months that have no messages, I would prefer to do it indiscriminately. Then I will need to add the current class (when the URL looks like ... / 2009/12).
I have a solution that works with a copy wp_get_archives. Is this a way to do something and am I too worried about anything?
