I don't know if there is anything built in, but the SQL to test the age and turn off the "ispublished" flag in table ezcontentobject is simple. I don't know what values the "status" field accepts.
But turning off "ispublished" may make it a little difficult to identify what are drafts which aren't approved for publication yet.
Ah! Good point .. not tried that yet. Perhaps one then could apply a 10-day workflow with an unpublish at the end .. of sorts .. if that's what you wanted with this article .. and with others .. 20-day .. 40-day .. 100-day.. etc??
You tried this??
This should be documented by Ez. These are vital parts of any cms system .. and this is really .. well; essential. The guys should document these things.. and provide howto's ..
I know! Heh .. trying to figure these things out.. I have to try to migrate 10 sites under the one Ez install (v3) .. and some of those site have to have a lifecycle attached to certain article types!
Hehe .. this should be pretty easy to do if one had at least all documented features! ;)
.. I also remember reading about some types of shell scripts to "unpublish" articles from crontab, but never seen any details on this..
If you get some thinigs done with this lifecycle thing please yell out man ... hehe .. I will sure as /&"# do likewise!
Keep it up!
Kindest, jØRGEn!:.
