I18N Special Pages

[mvlcek]

I asked this before..

Can you convert a normal page into a special page ?

...

It appears you can add the xml to the page file for the app category.
<special>specialpagetype</special>

It would a real neat feature, if we could do an import or just add the tag to the page and do some kind of detect new function.

Yes, I agree, but there are some problems:

• what should happen, if the special page type configures a parent? change it?
  
• what should a configured slug do? change the slug of the page according to the current date?
  
• what about a configured menu position?
  
• where is the best place to put this functionality in the admin GUI?
  

The first three points are real issues because these fields (if configured) aren't visible to the user and thus can not be changed afterwards.

Changing the template, adding tags and setting the new special fields to the default values should be no problem.

Any suggestions welcome!
