[wp-hackers] Custom post types and wp_get_archives

[Lionel Pointet]

Oh right! I misunderstood your request, sorry...

So, the first thing I notice in the 'wp_get_archives' function is that 
the post_type is hardcoded in the where clause.
But you can easily filter it to add your CPT slug thanks to the 
'getarchives_where' filter:

    function example_getarchives_where($where) {
         return str_replace("WHERE post_type = 'post'", "WHERE post_type
    IN ('post', 'cpt')", $where);
    }
    add_filter('getarchives_where', 'example_getarchives_where');

There may be another better solution, but that's the first thing I found 
and I know it'll work...
