I have some doubt about the wp_get_archives() function

In my website I have create the following page template that use the wp_get_archives() function to show the posts list:

?php 

    /**
     * Template Name: Posts Archive
     *
     * A custom page template for displaying all posts.
     *
     * The "Template Name:" bit above allows this to be selectable
     * from a dropdown menu on the edit page screen.
     *
     * @package WordPress
     * @subpackage Twenty_Ten
     * @since Twenty Ten 1.0
     */

    get_header(); 

?

!-- Contenuti (griglia) --
div class="container"
    !-- Lead presentazione --
    section id="presentazione"
        div class="row"
            div class="col-sm-12"
                !--h1 class="text-center"smallAssociazione per la Tutela dei Diritti Umani del Popolo Eritreo/small/h1--
                h1 class="text-center title"Associazione per la Tutela dei Diritti Umani del Popolo Eritreo/h1
                h1 class="text-center leadTitle"Association in Defense of the Human Rights of the Eritrean People/h1
                !--
                p class="lead text-center"
                    Association in Defense of the Human Rights of the Eritrean People
                /p
                --
            /div!-- /.col-sm-12 --
        /div!-- /.row --
    /section!-- /section presentazione --
    !-- Progetti in evidenza --

    header class="header-sezione"
        h2Archivio post/h2
    /header

    ul
        ?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost'); ?
    /ul

    /section

/div

?php get_footer(); ?

It work and this is the result (I only need to set the right CSS related to the font size)

Ok, now my question is: using the wp_get_archives() function can I show the post date before each posts?.

I want to obtain something like:

10/04/2014 - POST TITLE

rather than the mere post title.

Can I do it passing some parameters to the wp_get_archives() function? Or the only solution is do not use this function and create a custom loop into my template page?

The wp_get_archives function in Wordpress does not support displaying dates. However my solution worked without using this function it's still probably handy for your or someone else his cause:

In the functions.php file of your theme place the following:

 function recentPostsDate() {
    $rPosts = new WP_Query();
    $rPosts->query('showposts=6');
    while ($rPosts->have_posts()) : $rPosts->the_post(); ?>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
                    <?php the_date('d/m/Y', '<span class="date">', '</span>'); the_title(); ?>
                </a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    <?php endwhile;
    wp_reset_query();
}

After this you can use this in your main template simply by calling the function:

<?php recentPostsDate(); ?>

Based upon the settings I have chosen the output will look something like:

01/04/2015 First news title
23/03/2015 2nd news title
14/03/2015 Third news title

wp_get_archives() can not display post date, but you can force wp_get_archives to display date by using hook.

Put the following function at the end of your custom template file or functions.php file -

function wpse_the_title($title, $id){
    if( $date = get_the_date('d/m/Y', $id) ){
        $title = sprintf('%s - %s', $date, $title);
    }
    return $title;
}

Replace with appropriate code -

<?php add_filter('the_title', 'wpse_the_title', 10, 2); ?>
<ul>
    <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost'); ?>
</ul>
<?php remove_filter('the_title', 'wpse_the_title', 10, 2); ?>

Show the post date using the wp_get_archives() function?
