Instance Method Details

#draw_archive_tree(options = {}) ⇒ Object

In the presence of records for a given model it draws the archive tree. Otherwise, returns an empty string

This method relies on the following private methods:

* +draw_years+
* +draw_months+

Default behavior

* It will attempt to create a tree of your Post model
* Will use the posts_path route
* Will display a toggle link
* Will use "[ + ]" as the text for the toggle link

Options

* model_sym #=> the symbol of the model to request the archive_nodes
* route #=> the route that handles the archived posts requests
* toggle #=> when true, includes a toggle link before the years
* toggle_text #=> the text used in the toggle link

Example using the default settings:

<%= draw_archive_tree %>

Overriding the defaults example:

<%= draw_archive_tree :model_sym => :post, :route => :archive_published_at_path, :toggle => false %>
