[dokuwiki] blog plugin modification?

Hello,

I'm about to jump into the blog plugin to get it to perform the magic I'm looking for. But in case someone has gone before me, I'll put my idea out here, and see what feedback I get. Thanks!

I configure the blog plugin to prefix article entries with the string "%Y:%m:%d:" which puts posts into a namespace/folder hierarchy according to date. I also use the general dokuwiki "You are here: ..." linkage, so as an example the "you are here" would show:

news >> 2007 >> 10 >> 18 >> mynewspost

With this, in the "news" link, I have that page (using the blog plugin) showing the news entries, with the blog's "New blog entry" box at the bottom. However the "2007, "10" and "18" are missing links. What I want to have happen is that for the "2007" link, it would show all of the entries for 2007, and the "10" link would show all of the entries for October, 2007, and obviously, the "18" link would show all entries for the 18th of October, 2007.

Obviously I can accomplish this by manually creating those pages using the blogs markup syntax. And doing that once a year for the year link, and once a month for the month link wouldn't be -too- painful, but every day isn't feasible. So I figure automating would be the way to go.

Has anyone done this already? Or have any pointers/code snippets that would help me on my way?

The current implementation is at: http://www.lsdev.org/

Thanks.

chris
