Jekyll archives grouped by date

2010-08-06  –  

One thing Jekyll doesn't provide out of the box (as fas I can tell) is any sort of archive functionality. (Aside: I really like what Tumblr does for archives.)

I would have liked something a bit more flexible, but for now this site's archive displays a list of all entries grouped by year. Here's the template code I'm using:

<h2>Archives</h2>
<ul>
  {% for post in site.posts %}

    {% unless post.next %}
      <h3>{{ post.date | date: '%Y' }}</h3>
    {% else %}
      {% capture year %}{{ post.date | date: '%Y' }}{% endcapture %}
      {% capture nyear %}{{ post.next.date | date: '%Y' }}{% endcapture %}
      {% if year != nyear %}
        <h3>{{ post.date | date: '%Y' }}</h3>
      {% endif %}
    {% endunless %}

    <li>{{ post.date | date:"%b" }} <a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

which was shamelessly ripped off from http://blog.tracefunc.com/2009/12/04/jekyll-custom-liquid-tags/
