[wp-hackers] Page slug for page template

[Paul Menard]

Actually this is totally do able. You just attach a rewrite rule to a page
URL. I've done this before. The trick is to NOT have any child pages off
that parent. So for what you want you can have the default page template
associated with the /case-study/ page slug. If no query_var for the
'q1-2014, q3-1999, etc is not provided your template can just default to
some latest var and redirect.

The difficult page is that you are not going to be able to do this via the
template itself. You need to add the hooks to the theme functions.php so it
loads before the page template is called.

Let me dig up me code and provide a clean example.
