List of potential URLs for https://github.com/Frumph/comic-easel/issues/2

gistfile1.txt

/comic/{$chapter_slug}/{$post_slug}/  -> display a post whose parent is a chapter 
/feed/ -> displays 'post' and 'comic'
/comic/feed/ -> displays 'comic'
/comic/{$chapter_slug}/feed/ -> displays all comic posts for a chapter?
/comic/{$year}/ -> displays all comic posts for that year
/comic/{$year}/{$month}/ -> displays all comic posts for that year/month
/comic/{$year}/{$month}/{$day}/ -> displays all comic posts for that year/month/day

/feed/ -> displays 'post' and 'comic'
/comic/feed/ -> displays just 'comic' post type feed

{$chapter_slug} = hierarchical taxonomy

One of the issues I have is the comic-calendar.php (widget) which is rewritten to handle the post type links back as /year/mo/day/?post_type=comic in that order get_month doesn't return post type

Not a URL question, but are chapters nothing more than a name and a slug? Would it be useful to have addition information about them? IOW, would there be any benefit to having them be a custom post type that would be a parent to a comic?

Also, did you know that ?post_type=comic in the URL is the same as $query_var['post_type'] = 'comic' in the 'request' hook (see here: https://gist.github.com/2885558)

I don't understand "rewritten to handle the post type links back as /year/mo/day/?post_type=comic in that order get_month doesn't return post type"

Why is {$chapter_slug} a hierarchical taxonomy? Can you have chapters within chapters?

Comics navigate by chapters, not by date, as if they were categories.
The relation isn't parent -> child, it's more 'in chapter'

neg, single chapter per comic.

If you look at http://dev.frumph.net/ and the gist for comic-calendar.php the rewritten calendar for month for the post type appends the ?post_type=comic to the end instead of adding it to the beginning of the url because the functions for get_month get_year etc do not associate the post type appropriately.

oh yeah, you can have chapter's within chapter, basically like a story

Book 1
--- Chapter 1
--- Chapter 2 .. 15
Book 2
--- Chapter 1
--- Chapter 2

etc..

• Are there always Books? Can Chapters be in more than one Book?
• Why are the URLs not /{$book_slug}/{$chapter_slug}/{$post_slug?} (or with taxonomy, I guess they are?)
• Is $post_slug more appropriately named $comic_slug?
• What are the exact functions you are using for functions for get_month and get_year and where exactly are you calling them?

1. There are not always books, some people might not even care to use anything more then a single chapter.
2. There must always be a chapter, there's doesn't have to be a book. If it does exist, cool.
3. &comic=post_slug/comic_slug_of_the_post_tiitle, sure.
4. comic-calendar.php - in the widgets directory, is a rewrite of the get_calendar using the post type comic in it's query.

Sorry I haven't helped with this since your last comment. We are now in crunch time for our main client. I hope to follow up on this soon.

I got the calendar portion to urlrewrite .. now just looking for a way to make it so that the url line itself can be used and stay that way like http://comiceasel.com/comic/2012/06/29/some-comic-name-slug/ where the url line writes out that way as a pretty permalink

Did you ever get that resolved? Early July I got hit with 5 different clients who had follow ups and also got sick too. Not sure I have the bandwidth this month either, but want to know if I should follow up when I do?
