[wp-hackers] Custom post types and wp_get_archives

[Fong Li Heng]

Hi Aero,

I modified the default widget to take a custom post type parameter, and
also turned it into a jQuery accordion so the list is more manageable. I
wrote a series of blog posts about it, you can start from
https://wpadventures.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/custom-post-type-archives-2/

Sorry it's a little messy and I dumped everything into my theme's
functions.php file. Would definitely be better to implement it as a plugin
but I hadn't figured out the template redirects at that time. Hope this
helps you get started.
