You most likely need to activate the workflow by setting it to the before-publication trigger, in the 'triggers' page of the admin interface. Only creating a workflow is not enough.
The cronjob otoh is not used for the delayed publication, but for delayed de-publication. It also uses a date attribute in content classes to decide what has to be depublished, but that is set via an ini file

The unpublish.php cronjob takes care of un-publishing, but workflow.php takes care of publishing if the workflow + triggers is setup as mentioned above.
If I read this right ot get publish_date and unpublish_date to work as expected I have to set this up after installing? It is not setup by default?
Seems odd.
Anyways to do so I would have to add a Event/Wait workflow for each class that has publish_date like the folder and article class. Then add them to the before publish trigger?
Also make sure that the classes and root nodes are entered in content.ini?
Are there are tutorials on how to do this right?
Auto publishing and unpublishing is a big deal to myself and I believe others.
