Since I’ve had several people ask over a longer period now, I thought that I might as well just put up the source to my archives and comments files. It’s not pretty, and it was never meant for the public (and thus I will not support these just now). But for those of you who can find something interesting in there, feel free to rummage around.
wp-comments.phps and archives.phps.
And if you want to setup the archives file to be shown if people peel the URI down to /archives/, then you can use this .htaccess code:
RewriteRule ^archives/$ /archives.php
RewriteRule ^archives$ /archives.php
That seems to do the job for me.
But again, I’m not going to support these, as I would rather spend the time on Kubrick 1.2.5. But feel free to help each other out in the comments of this entry. (Also, I make use of a few plugins and some code that isn’t mine. You can find the plugins here, and the sortable archives is here. Though the version I use, has been customized a lot)

Hmm, when I use those rewrite rules it only works when I put /archives in the URL, with no trailing slash. When I use a trailing slash, it doesn’t work.
Thanks a lot Michael for offering Your modified files to us.
RewriteRule ^archives/?$ /archives.php
Is better :) The ‘?’ menas the trailing slash is optional, so if you type ‘archives/’ instead of ‘archives’ it’ll still work.
Now I get an internal server error when I use that rule…hmmm
Example, cut from my .htacces:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^urchin/?$ /urchin/index.cgi
RewriteRule ^portfolio/?$ /portfolio/index.html
RewriteRule ^ait/?$ /ait/index.html
RewriteRule ^portal/?$ /portal/index.html
RewriteRule ^universe/?$ /universe/index.php
You have to point to the index files, because if you just assign an directory it won’t fetch the index :) This works for me.
I dunno if it’s right but you can save one line of
RewriteRule ^archives/$ /archives.php
RewriteRule ^archives$ /archives.php
making
RewriteRule ^archives?/?$ /archives.php
Anyone using nicer archives with Kubrick 1.2.4 willing to share their source?
Anyone using them with Kubrick 1.2.5?
If any one is interested in the archives with kubrick (1.2.6), they can contact me thru my site.
