Can I make an Archive Page Template in Joomla! 1.5?

Question

I am not pertaining to the category list of archives, but for the ARTICLE PAGE itself once it is archived. Like a "single-{post_type}.php" on a Wordpress template where {post_type} is "archive".

Thanks for helping.

Yes you can,

Joomla archive article uses a separate layout in com_content component. If you're planning to create a custom styles for archive articles you just need to do template override for com_content.

In Joomla articles are managing with a component called com_content.

you have to do a copy of components/com_content/views/archive/ files to your template folder. templates/your_templates/html/com_content/views/archive/

This way you can create custom styles for the archive articles. Also Please consider an update for your Joomla Version 1.5 is already dead.

Hope its helps..
