you hit it on the head...
one person suggested I do manual file names, then pre-create folders by year and month, then *manually* create file names for EACH new article ... like so:
/2004/12/bevis-1215001.shtml
this way, we get year, month, and a unique digit number in there (google needs the three digit unique, yahoo needs year and month).
QUESTION FOR THE WISE ONES:
would the above naming convention work for Yahoo! ? I'm kind of getting worried they keep "rejecting" my suggested site for news feeds (argh), presumably because I don't have the right date/month schema, which - honestly - I was originally more concerned about for news.google (which is already pulling the content by scraping it).
Ideally it would be good to get this sorted for Jan 1st,
so I would be doing it right for (in my example)
/2005/01/butthead-0101001.shtml
however ... while this may practically work (assuming the folders are prebuilt), will this work from the yahoo feed point of view for acceptable schema to take the feeds at all?
THANKS EVERYBODY AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Okay... dopey me... it turns out you cannot put paths in the filename field, which makes sense ...
so,
/publishdir/2004/12/filename.shtml
cannot be accomplished through a custom filename per article...
however, this leads me to wonder if its possible to add a "custom directory" field -- as a hack, and possibly new feature in next edition of AM
ie.,
this would allow you to put
2004/12/
into a custom field, which would then append that to the default or custom publish directory path on a file by file basis...
anybody know how to do a hack like this?
idea is that
1) if your default file publish directory were
/publicroot/directory/
2) you could create custom field for the admin panel to create article, where you could type in "2005/01/"
3) then, when you hit publish all, the article would "print" the static copy into
/publicroot/directory/2005/01/
4) then file would be in
http://domain.xyz/directory/2005/01/filename000.shtml
this again assumes you pre-build the /2005/ folder and 12 sub folders.
As long as you're using relative paths for images and server side includes (ie., img src="/images/file.jpg") the directory inside directory shouldn't cause problems...
is this possible, and anybody know the mechanics of making an add-on (hack) the the admin script for stick the custom "directory" field, append to default directory for BOTH static printing of page, but maintaining links so that all the headlines, syndication, etc. link properly?
I have not yet looked through the admin script to see where this might be doable ...
thoughts, help, naysayers, applause ?
Thanks!
