You might want to try using more than one recursive template: one for years, one for months. It would look like this (including the format-number function to maintain the double digit month format):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"
encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="year-recursion">
<xsl:with-param name="dr-month" select="$this-month" />
<xsl:with-param name="dr-year" select="$this-year" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="year-recursion">
<xsl:param name="dr-year"/>
<xsl:param name="dr-month"/>
<xsl:if test="$dr-year > 2007">
<xsl:call-template name="month-recursion">
<xsl:with-param name="dr-month" select="$dr-month" />
<xsl:with-param name="dr-year" select="$dr-year" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="month-recursion">
<xsl:param name="dr-year"/>
<xsl:param name="dr-month"/>
<li><xsl:value-of select="$dr-year" />-<xsl:value-of select="format-number($dr-month, '00')" /></li>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$dr-month > 1">
<xsl:call-template name="month-recursion">
<xsl:with-param name="dr-year" select="$dr-year" />
<xsl:with-param name="dr-month" select="$dr-month - 1" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:call-template name="year-recursion">
<xsl:with-param name="dr-year" select="$dr-year - 1" />
<xsl:with-param name="dr-month" select="12" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a list of date links on my archive page between a certain date and either $this-month or ideally the month of the most recent blog post. For example the list might look something like this:
<ul> <li><a href="{root}/archive/2009/04">April 2009</a></li> <li><a href="{root}/archive/2009/03">March 2009</a></li> <li><a href="{root}/archive/2009/02">February 2009</a></li> <li><a href="{root}/archive/2009/01">January 2009</a></li> <li><a href="{root}/archive/2008/12">December 2008</a></li> </ul>etc... I'm not sure what the best way of achieving this is. I've tried using recursion to output the numbers which I could then convert to text based dates, but I keep running into xslt errors.
This is what I have tried:
<xsl:template name="date-recursion"> <xsl:param name="dr-year" select="$this-year" /> <xsl:param name="dr-month" select="$this-month" /> <li><xsl:value-of select="$dr-year" />-<xsl:value-of select="$dr-month" /></li> <xsl:if test="$dr-month > 0 and $dr-year > 2007"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$dr-month = 1"> <xsl:call-template name="date-recursion"> <xsl:with-param name="dr-month" select="12" /> <xsl:with-param name="dr-year" select="$dr-year - 1" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:call-template name="date-recursion"> <xsl:with-param name="dr-month" select="$dr-month - 1" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:if> </xsl:template>
