# Implement a Custom Tag for Use in Permalinking

 * Essentially, what I’m trying to do is this:
 * Create a custom permalink tag, %articleId% that corresponds to a meta field I
   have defined in wp_postmeta -> article_id
 * We use an 8 digit article ID to keep track of our content instead of normal post_id’s
   so we need it in the URL for easy identification.
 * The end result is this (/%category%/%post_title%-%article_id%/) should resolve
   to something like /news/google-is-great-$99999999/
 * I don’t need it to mean anything per se… just to display as text in the URL
 * Does anyone know the best way to go about this?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * In case anyone was wondering, the Custom Field Permalink plugin works for this..
