How to get a entry from each month

Question

I would like to get the last entry of a channel from each month. is there any way to do it with channel entry module?

like: 2015, 01 : last entry is "hello 1"; 2015, 02 : last entry is "hello 2"; 2015, 03 : last entry is "hell 3";

it gives me a hard time :(

Answer 1

Surround the channel entries tag with the archive month links tag.

{exp:channel:month_links channel="YOUR_CHANNEL" limit="12"}
    {exp:channel:entries channel="YOUR_CHANNEL" limit="1" year="{year}" month="{month_num}"}
        {entry_date format="%Y  , %m"} : last entry is "{title}";
    {/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:channel:month_links}

Answer 2

Why not just use the month and year parameters?

{exp:channel:entries channel="YOURCHANNELNAME" year="2015" month="01" status="not closed" limit="1" sort="asc" orderby="date" disable="categories|pagination|category_fields|member_data"}
...
{/exp:channel:entries}

If you're on an archive page like:

http:///www.your-domain-name.com/blog/archive/2015/01

You could do this:

{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" year="{segment_3}" month="{segment_4}" status="not closed" limit="1" sort="asc" orderby="date" disable="categories|pagination|category_fields|member_data"}
        ...
{/exp:channel:entries}
