A very anoying thing about the news module is the way the archive lists the dates.

I don't know how this would be done, but is it possible to have the date (Month Yr) list in multiple columns? Right now, it list in a single column and you need to scroll down for ever to get to the bottom (if the articles date back a few years).

For example, look at XOOPS archive
HEREand then if you click on a month to view the articles for that month, you need to scroll all the way down again.

Any ideas on how to imporve this?

I am almost surprised that no one has made a 'hack' like the one you mention, Jamescne. Even two simple drop boxes, one containing the twelve months and the other containing the years covered throughout the articles, would be helpful now that you mention it. Although, doing this shouldn't be too tough with the assistance of a submit button...

Each value of those dropboxes would be fairly simple since the output is:
http://www.DOMAIN.com/modules/news/archive.php?year=<4 DIGIT YEAR>&month=


Couple that simple idea with a submit button to generate the link and go to it...

If you would like a hand, let me know...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm surprised that no one has come up with a hack for this yet.

My php skill set is limited and I tried to play around w/ this, w/o luck...

Assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks.
