Rewrite API, Current Month & Paging WordPress

Kevin McGillivray comments:

No dice. It didn't solve the problem. I still just saw the first page of records over and over when clicking on the link to see page 2. Any other ideas?

Luis Abarca comments:

I better share my rewrite function of my plugin


function events_add_rewrite_rules()
{
// 2001 events paged: /events/2011/page/x
add_rewrite_rule("eventos/([0-9]{4})/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?post_type=jab_event&year=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]', 'top');

// monthly events paged: events/2011/09/page/x
add_rewrite_rule("eventos/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?post_type=jab_event&year=$matches[1]&monthnum=$matches[2]&paged=$matches[3]', 'top');

// monthly events: events/2011/09
add_rewrite_rule("eventos/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/?$", 'index.php?post_type=jab_event&year=$matches[1]&monthnum=$matches[2]', 'top');

// all events paged: events/page/2
add_rewrite_rule("eventos/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?post_type=jab_event&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');

// 2011 events: /events/2011
add_rewrite_rule("eventos/([0-9]{4})/?$", 'index.php?post_type=jab_event&year=$matches[1]', 'top');

}

Luis, can you tell me what your permalinks are set to? Thanks!

Luis Abarca comments:

yep !

The plugin call flush_rewrite_rules() on activation:

function register_jab_event_post_type()
{
$labels = array(
'name' => 'Eventos',
'singular_name' => 'Evento',
'menu_name' => 'Eventos'
);

$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'eventos'),
'capability_type' => array('evento', 'eventos'),
'hierarchical' => false,
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'post-formats'),
'has_archive' => true,
'query_var' => 'eventos'
);

register_post_type('jab_event', $args);

events_add_rewrite_rules();
}

register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'event_post_type_activation');

function event_post_type_activation()
{
register_jab_event_post_type();

flush_rewrite_rules();
}

Hey, Luis. We're getting close! What I meant was on Settings > Permalinks, which option did you choose but it may not matter. I've been able to get this to work for URLs like www.domain.com/current-month/page/2


add_rewrite_rule( "current-month/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?m=' . date("Y") . date("m") . '&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');
add_rewrite_rule( "previous-month/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?m=' . date("Y") . date("m") . '&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');


But I can't get a rewrite rule for www.domain.com/current-month/ to work at the same time. Do you know what regular express I would use to determine when www.domain.com/current-month or www.domain.com/current-month/ were entered but without anything following that?

Thanks!

Luis Abarca comments:

It seems that you are using the same month for both rules.


add_rewrite_rule( "current-month/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?m=' . date("Y") . date("m") . '&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');

<strong>
add_rewrite_rule( "previous-month/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?m=' . date("Y") . date("m", strtotime("-1 month") ) . '&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');
</strong>



Luis Abarca comments:

upps! a little error


add_rewrite_rule( "current-month/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?year=' . date("Y") . '&monthnum=' . date("n") . '&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');

add_rewrite_rule( "previous-month/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?year=' . date("Y") . '&monthnum=' . date("n", strtotime("-1 month") ) . '&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');

Hi, Luis. Okay, I've gotten it all worked out. Thanks for your help. Your rules above were part of the solution. The other issue was that I had to get "www.domain.com/current-month" to work without any paging parameters. Here's the final solution I came up with:


add_action( 'init', 'bcg_rewrite_add_rules' );
function bcg_rewrite_add_rules() {
// rewrite "current-month" to the current month of content. Allow paging.
add_rewrite_rule( "current-month/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?m=' . date("Y") . date("m") . '&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');
add_rewrite_rule( "current-month/?$", 'index.php?m=' . date("Y") . date("m"), 'top');

//rewrite "previous month" to the previous month of content. Allow paging.
add_rewrite_rule( "previous-month/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$", 'index.php?m=' . date("Y", strtotime("-1 month") ) . '&paged=$matches[1]', 'top');
add_rewrite_rule( "previous-month/?$", 'index.php?m=' . date("Y", strtotime("-1 month") ) . date("m", strtotime("-1 month") ), 'top');
}


Thanks!
