Back Issue Stuff

Fellas, don't count on seeing it work. Ever.

Sorry, but I'm calling that like I see it. I've been around here since 2004, and I still don't have a page in the Author's index that one could read more from. And there's even a separate Archives Editor.

The Editors are a bunch of wonderful people. Really, in all seriousness, they are. All this is out of the goodness of their hearts. But clearly, links like this are not a priority, so I wouldn't recommend holding your breath.

If it makes you feel any better, I've BEEN an Editor for about 3 years, and more than half of the stories I've had in Aphelion don't show up in MY Author Page. The Search function works, sometimes, at least for stuff up to September 2007...

I have an advantage in that if I really, really want to, I can access the folders on the server for any year and month that hasn't been moved to the separate Archives server and find my own stuff... if I can remember when it appeared. (I can theoretically access the Archives server, too, if I can remember the password.)

In the meantime, you gotta remember the dates when your stuff appears; if you have that, you can usually get at it using

http://www.aphelion-webzine.com/<sectio ... /<filename>

where <section> = shorts, serials, poetry, etc.
<year> is the four-digit year,
<month> is the two-digit month,
and <filename> is ... the filename, which usually bears some resemblance to the title of the piece (but sometimes not as much as one might wish). More recent (since the design revamp) files should always have the .html extension; earlier stuff is more likely to use .htm

Actually, Nate, you can take that post and fold it till it's all corners :) (I kid. I'm a kidder.)

TaoPhoenix has already do the legendary work of compiling a list of the necessary information. Right now, it's waiting on me to dust off my PHP book and create the necessary code and database back end to generate the new pages.

In the mean time, all the back issues are archived, minus the last few, which I'll try and get linked in this weekend.

Should I take a stab at a fast&ugly temporary fix to buy us some time?

The Back Issues index is now up to date through last month's issue.

The Author Archives are....an ongoing project.
