URL Structures (Listings & Pages)

Question

I'm working on a site that has an 'edition', like a newspaper. The URL structure looks like this:

website.dev/edition/2013-05-01

The date is the name and url title of the listing.

The edition channel links to all the content added to the website: articles, images, video, etc which all have their own listing channels. I'm using the structure module by the way.

If I view an article from an edition the url structure is like:

website.dev/article/the-name-of-the-article

If I make the other listing channels subpages of the editions, the url structure will look like this:

website.dev/edition/article/the-name-of-the-article

Basically I want it to look like this:

website.dev/edition/2013-05-01/article/the-name-of-the-article

Any advice on how to do this (Using the structure module).

Mmm, sounds like a job for Router.

With Structure, every segment must be a page in the hierarchy. You may be able to do what you're looking for utilizing Freebie though: http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/freebie
