I wounder if there is some way to unpublish an object in a spesific day. (ie. I've added an datehandeler in all articles, folders etc.)

Yes it is. To do this you need to create a new workflow. This workflow should have two events. First event should be "wait until date". On this event you should select all "unpublish time" attributes on your classes (select first class, click "load attributes", select unpublish attribute, click "new entry". Repeat for all classes with this attribute).

Second event should be "unpublish". Save your workflow and set this up to be triggered after publish of content.

This requires the cron-job to run correctly on the server.

Hi,

Unpublish is a standard cronjob since 3.4(?).

There are some UnpublishSettings in content.ini:
Copy to content.ini.append...

[UnpublishSettings]
RootNodeList[]
ClassList[]

The classes to be unpublished have to have a datefield named 'unpublish_date'.

Hope this will help.
Lately there was a thread in the forum, but I can't find it right now.

hi Christiane,

the lines which you told are already in the content.ini. I am really stuck. Can you help.

What i did, i created a "wait untill event", selected the article class and the new attribute "Unpublish Date". After saving, i assigned the new workflow to the "after publish" trigger.

Run the cronjob manually.

It that right or i am wrong somewhere.

Cheers.

I've added the unpublish_date attribute to the Article class and added the lines to content.ini.append in the siteaccess settings.

But when i run the cronjob i get this error:

Running cronjobs/unpublish.php

Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /opt/ezpublish/sites/mysite/lib/ezutils/classes/ezini.php on line 638
