Thanks Daniel! It would be easy to add the current day (today) as
a page variable, which can populate as value an Input 'target' field.
I use that with BlogSimple:

# add page variable {$Today2} in format yyyymmdd
$FmtPV['$Today2'] = 'strftime("%Y%m%d", time() )';

But to add an incrementing counter to the page name is a lot more
complex, as the script needs to check the page names in the target
group, check the date, find the highest running number for the date,
add one and set this as new target name. Probably can be done, just
not quite so simple as using a date page variable.

Maybe someone got an idea here?
