Make Blosxom recognize date-based, extensionless URIs for everything (both stories and categories). http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html explains the motivation. The main goal is to use URIs which never have to be broken (ever!). The idea for this plugin came from the cooluri plugin by Rob Hague <http://www.blosxom.com/plugins/link/cooluri.htm>.
With cooluri2, URIs like this will be recognized:
http://example.com/2003/12/03/category http://example.com/2003/12/14/category/story
Days and months can be left off if you prefer a shorter URI:
http://example.com/2003/12/category http://example.com/2003/12/category/story http://example.com/2003/category http://example.com/2003/category/story
The date part of the URI is the creation date for that document. It is take from %blosxom::files, %blosxom::others, %metadate::dirs, or the last-modification time of the file itself. Note that stories may have different creation dates then the categories they are in, so you may end up with URIs like this:
http://example.com/2003/10/23/category http://example.com/2003/12/14/category/story This means, unfortunately, that users probably won't be able to modify a URI to find another document.
Extensions can still be used to specify a flavor. If no extension is present the default flavor will be used.
