In order to have this module configured, you have to add some parameters as in the screenshot below:

So this way, each language can have a module specific for that language, showing the posts of that blog (one blog per language), for a given time frame, specified in the parameters of the module definition. For more information, see Blog Config

It can be done similarly for Articles, indicating "cms" as the feature to create the links for.

An example of code to display this module in a wiki page, or a custom module, is:

Copy to clipboard
{MODULE(module="months_links", feature="cms", title="Noticias", section="cms", nonums="y", notitle="n", decorations="n", nobox="y")}{MODULE}


Note:
For performance reasons, the "rows" module parameter limits the number of months which are displayed. The default value is 10 months, which is not much. Set it to more months to get more archives ( 24, 36, 48, 60, whatever, or "-1" to fetch all of them)
