Archiving system with I18N News

[shawn_a]

One feature that I thought was missing from the i18n News system is that of providing automatic archives for news results. However, such a feat is actually achievable with the current i18n Search plugin if you take a moment to think outside of the box...

Basically it comes down to this:

• Having a landing page for the archive search results (which can simply be your normal 'search' page)
  
• Ensuring that every news entry has a month and a year tag
  
• Ensuring that (only) one entry per month has a tag to indicate the monthly archive link
  
• Providing a custom output that dynamically produces the links necessary to take you to the appropriate month, showing no other unnecessary information.

hmm, it might be kewl to have a plugin to auto add archive tags to specific pages on save.
month year etc
and this could do all kind of other auto tagging stuff, like keyword count detection and auto tag or heading parsing or something.
