widget call to wp_get_archives: type=monthly hardwired

[jidanni]

In widgets.php, type=monthly is hardwired with no way to change it:

wp_get_archives("type=monthly&format=option&show_post_count=$c");

Quite a shame. Needs massive workaround just to get year instead: e.g., a my-plugin.php:

function widget_myuniquewidget_register() {
  function j_widget_yearly_archives($args) {
    extract($args);
    echo $before_widget; echo $before_title .'Archives'. $after_title;
    ?><ul><?php wp_get_archives("type=yearly&show_post_count=1"); ?></ul><?php
    echo $after_widget;}
  register_sidebar_widget('J yearly archives workaround','j_widget_yearly_archives');}
add_action('init', widget_myuniquewidget_register);

(hardwired too, else the user needs to make an even longer plugin.)
