dynamic view by date arguments in drupal 7

I'm new to drupal, currently im stuck with this problem.

I want to create a article view ("tip of the day") wherein the content of the will automatically changed accordingly. The default value would be the current date.

For example:

http://localhost/test this will get the current date as the default filter. If no items found it will give no results found.

when i go to http://localhost/test/20111220 the view will automatically get the value of the date parameter in the url and output the content on that date.

How can I achieved this?

Any thoughts or ideas there?

Thank you.

If you are using Views then try the following.

Add Contextual filters in Advanced fieldset and select Date: Date (node) filter.
In it's settings in When the filter value is NOT in the URL fieldset tick Provide default value and leave Current date
Add multiple value identifier set to No
Dates to compare set to Only this field
Between Date field(s) checkboxes select Content: Post date
Method set to OR

After that, by accessing your /test page you would have the last added content and by accessing /test/%date% you would have content for that date. For example /test/2011-12-23

%date% should be as ISO date/period format (i.e. YYYY, YYYY-MM, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-W99, YYYY-MM-DD--P3M, P90D, etc).

Follow this path http://yoursite/admin/structure/views/import in your site and put the following data to code textfield:

$view = new view;
$view->name = 'test';
$view->description = '';
$view->tag = 'default';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->human_name = 'test';

$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */

$handler->display->display_options['empty']['area']['format'] = 'full_html';
$handler->display->display_options['empty']['area']['tokenize'] = 0;

/* Field: Content: Title */
$handler->display->display_options['fields']['title']['id'] = 'title';
$handler->display->display_options['fields']['title']['table'] = 'node';
$handler->display->display_options['fields']['title']['field'] = 'title';
$handler->display->display_options['fields']['title']['label'] = '';

$handler->display->display_options['fields']['title']['link_to_node'] = 1;

/* Sort criterion: Content: Post date */
$handler->display->display_options['sorts']['created']['id'] = 'created';
$handler->display->display_options['sorts']['created']['table'] = 'node';
$handler->display->display_options['sorts']['created']['field'] = 'created';
$handler->display->display_options['sorts']['created']['order'] = 'DESC';

/* Contextual filter: Date: Date (node) */
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['id'] = 'date_argument';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['table'] = 'node';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['field'] = 'date_argument';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['default_action'] = 'default';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['default_argument_skip_url'] = 0;
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['summary']['format'] = 'default_summary';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['use_fromto'] = 'no';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['date_fields'] = array(
    'node.created' => 'node.created',
);

/* Filter criterion: Content: Published */
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['status']['id'] = 'status';
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['status']['table'] = 'node';
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['status']['field'] = 'status';
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['status']['value'] = 1;
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['status']['group'] = 0;
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['status']['expose']['operator'] = FALSE;


/* Filter criterion: Content: Type */
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['type']['id'] = 'type';
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['type']['table'] = 'node';
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['type']['field'] = 'type';
$handler->display->display_options['filters']['type']['value'] = array(
    'page' => 'page',
);

/* Display: Page */
$handler = $view->new_display('page', 'Page', 'page');
$handler->display->display_options['path'] = 'test';

Now by following to /test page you'll have date as today's date. You can also use your date type as 20120119.
