 * I’ve been going over this for the better part of the day and I can’t figure out
   how to get permalink for my plugin working.
 * I’ve seen the codex referencing to Jeromes keyword plugin, I’ve downloaded the
   plugin and stripped it to make some sense of it, but I still can’t get this to
   work.
 * Here’s what I want to do.
 * I have a plugin that get data from a custom table and displays the info. Works
   fine and dandy. This plugin wants a queryvar date=2006/12/31. What I want is 
   a url like so: url.com/partyguide/2006/12/31
 * For some reason, I can’t seem to add custom rewrite rules to WP. I could really
   use some help on this one.
 * Any plugin coders out there?
 * ps. here is my current code:
 * `
    <?php /* Plugin Name: Agenda Plugin URI: None Description: Shows parties on
   certain date. Version: 1.0 Author: Megamuch Author URI: http://bcn-nightlife.
   com */ /*1. Rewrite the URL so that it puts the path components into query variables,
   like so:*/ add_filter( 'search_rewrite_rules', 'foo_rewrite_rules' ); function
   foo_rewrite_rules ( $rewrite ) { global $wp_rewrite; // add rewrite tokens $wp_rewrite-
   >add_rewrite_tag( '%fooaction%', '(.+)', 'fooaction=' ); $foo_structure = $wp_rewrite-
   >root . "partyguide/%fooaction%/"; $foo_rewrite = $wp_rewrite->generate_rewrite_rules(
   $foo_structure); return ( $rewrite + $foo_rewrite ); } //2. Tell WP about the
   fooaction query variable: add_filter( 'query_vars', 'foo_query_vars' ); function
   foo_query_vars ( $vars ) { $vars[] = "fooaction"; return $vars; } //3. Write 
   an is_foo() function so we can tell when we are in the foo 'application': function
   is_foo () { global $wp_query; return $wp_query->get( "fooaction" ); } //4. Finally,
   override template reidrection to return the relevant foo page templates if we
   are in the foo application: add_filter( 'template_redirect', 'foo_redirect' );
   function foo_redirect () { if ( is_foo() ) { include( ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/
   agenda/main.php' ); exit; } } ?>
