Jeremy A	Tuesday 05 August 2008 12:41:32 am Hi, I would like to know how I can put a kind of "time to live" for topics in forums. Like the articles, get a unpublish date, i.e. in two month the forum topic will delete by itself. I have already add an Date attribute in the Forum Topic class. What's next ? Thank you.
Łukasz Serwatka	Tuesday 05 August 2008 12:46:12 am You need to configure cronjob script. Take a look on this example. http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/features/cronjobs/the_cronjob_scripts#unpublish http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/features/cronjobs/configuring_cronjobs Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog
Jeremy A	Wednesday 13 August 2008 2:21:43 am Hi, Thank you for these useful links. I don't really understand how I can create a custom cronjobs, saying that after two month (i.e.) the topic delete itself. Should I create my own php script for this ?
Łukasz Serwatka	Thursday 14 August 2008 4:22:02 am No, this script is already in eZ Publish. See content.ini file for configuration settings. Everything is described in the documentation. Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog

Andy Caiger	Monday 08 September 2008 4:46:02 am I think what Jeremy wants to do is to be able to specify a global "time-to-live" that will be used by the unpublish cronjob (or variant thereof) rather than have to specify the 'unpublish_date' attribute for each forum topic. I'm looking for something similar but for RSS import objects. For example, on importing an RSS object is it possible to automatically populate the 'unpublish_date' attribute with (current date + 2 months)? Or has someone modified unpublish.php so that it will look at the publish date of an object, test if it is more than 2 months old, and unpublish/hide it if is?
