Automatically archives pages based on a Datetime field (e.g. /news/2013/01/03/some-news-item/).
Behavior- When you add a page with a specified template, the module will automatically create year/month/day archives for it.
- When you change the date in a specified Datetime field, the page is automatically moved to the correct year/month/day archive.
- When moving or trashing a page, the module will automatically clean up empty year, month and day archives.
