Hello lads/lasses,
Just to let you know that I'm currently modifying the archive.module to meet my custom requirements.
The user story involved is that of a business user extracting a time-span of nodes (eg this week's, this month's, x to y etc) and presenting it in a streamlined presentation (no boxes etc) which can then be saved and emailed out to people (and later automated of course with _cron! )
My first iteration will involve modifying archive_page to allow for more form-input, including the ability to hide the form itself. Something along the lines of:

I'm also going to restrict the node types to stories only.
Let me know what you think!
