Auto-Publish/Auto-Unpublish by Type

:oops: Now I know how CRON works...and I guess this is the best way to realize it.

The questions you pose here sound of a subscription site (you have mentioned in another thread)

-- Maybe it is not best to think of changing item state like this

Maybe it is better to
- use the article DB properties: publish-up , publish-down,
- and add parameters in FLEXIcontent Content Type (edit form)

1. FOR non-publishers people :
setup a publish UP offset (e.g. after one day) publish Down Offset (e.g)
these will be applied automatically to the publish-up publish-down dates of the content items when the user submits the item.
Of course the administrator can intervene to change them

I think this is simpler solution and fits better the DB design of having these DB table columns (publish-up and publish-down)

Sounds great! Is it hard for you to implement ?
Hope to see this in next version. Hope This feature brings more users to FC.

Hello,

these are for v2.0.2+ or higher,

for now you should use this plugin that you mentioned,

if your site does not have 50,000 of items then you should not have any performance problems

Regards

Can you please tell me you would implement my request in near future?

Hello,

just thinking since this is combined with auto-publish parameter of submit menu item

what about adding 2 parameters after auto-publish menu parameter:
- Pubish-Up interval (now+...): e.g. 24h
- Pubish-Down interval (now+...): e.g. 720h


e.g. you enable auto-publish and the item state is set to "Published" right?
So e.g. with
Publish-up interval: 24H you get the item to public after 1 Day of submission
Publish-down interval: 720H you get the item to published down after 30 Days of submission

This is easier to implement, but adding such parameters to Content Type is possible too, in which case we will check and if these are set, then the item will go into "Published" State (with future publish-up/down time) instead of going into "Pending Approval"
