Hello!

Since this is my first post, let me just say "hi" to all of you!

I am just wondering about this:

If an author wants to publish an article, that should only be visible to the public from let's say 1.08.06 to 24.08.06. Is that possible, and how?

I just installed EZ Publish last weekend, and I am just trying it out. But I like it so far.

Hi Bjarte,

Welcome to eZ publish Community.

eZ publish has that functionality. You can use "Wait until date" workflow if you want to delay publishing of article.

http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/workflow_events/wait_until_date

You can use unpublish.php cronjob script and configure settings for unpublishing process (object will be remove) in content.ini file or you can use hide.php cronjob script and hide object instead of removing (content.ini).

Basically your article class will have 2 attributes one with start date and one with unpublish date. So you can set range 1.08.06 to 24.08.06.

Thank's for welcoming me!

How can I make this easy for the users that needs to have an article like this?

Because the users / authors won't do it, if it's too difficult.

You or administrator need to configure system, cronjob, ini settings, and extend Article class with new attributes. Author will only set dates during normal publishing process that's all. Rest will be handle by eZ publish.

Allrighty then!

I've been testing out another Publisher lately, and you could choose "advanced" and type in start-end date. That's why I am wondering about it.

Hi Lukasz

could you please explain in detail how to use hide.php in cronjob to hide article after specific date?

Thanx

You'll have to configure the hide cronjob with INI settings. In content.ini, you will find:

[HideSettings]
# Example:
#
# RootNodeList[]
# RootNodeList[]=2
# HideDateAttributeList[]
# HideDateAttributeList[article]=hide_date
#
# List of root nodes where nodes can be hidden.
RootNodeList[]
# Class attribute map, describing which date/time fields to use.
# The systems uses the class identifier to determine which classes to hide in the cronjob.
HideDateAttributeList[]

The specified attributes need to have the date or datetime datatype.

Did you use the RootNodeList[] setting?
