Hello,
I am trying to make a wait until workflow for my magazine website for editors to publish stuff on the front page.
I read and did as it is said in the
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/workflow_events/wait_until_date
documentation page.
But when i created the triger as content/publish/before, i always get the articles in the pending items, while i am not able to remove it from there or approve or wahtever, and it never goes to the publishing even in the time i specify.
While when i used the content/publish/after triger , i found that the articles got published in time i click send for publishing which means it didn't wait until time
Can some one help me please ?
Thanks
John

Hello John You need to use the content/publish/before trigger. Did you run the cronjobs? They will do the timed publishing for you.

Hi Kristof,
I have just saw the cronjob thing, and not able to run it cuz I am on cgi mode .
Is there any way to do it while i am on Cgi mode not a cli mode?
Knowing that soon we are upgrading to a hosting that can have the cli installed. I didn't understand how many times i have to run the cronjobs any way ? is it only once when i add a new workflow or what ?
thnx
John

And you have to run the cronjob regularly for wait until... Each time it runs it looks if some content were supposed to be published because the date of publication is in the past. The time between two runs define the precision of when the system is going to publish. If you want an article to be published at noon but can afford to have it published at 2pm only, then you don't need to run it more than every two hours. X+

well,
These 2 documentation and points are very helpfull, now i put the cronjob code, so i think it runs every 2 hours as i copied the part specifying the 2 hours interval.
But i think i still have the article publih as soon as i click send for publishing. Should i have the Triger set to : content/publish/after or before ? Thanks a lot for help

You need to use the content/publish/before trigger.

The item will be published next time the cronjobs run after 1:45 am. Of course you can also run them manually right after 1:45 am to see if it works. Good luck!
