publication for a limited time

[EtienneD]

Hi there,

is there anyway to publish a page for a specified segment of time (e.g. from 1st till 28th of February).

Maybe a typical question for a newbie as I am !

Thanks for your help

Hi Etienne,

no, there's no way out-of-the box to remove a page automatically on a specified date. You have to take care of your removal date by yourself.

You can use page the page properties macro for that. Just put the macro on a page and put a table like that into the macro:

 

Then, add a label to the page, e.g. "toberemoved".

Create a new page, call it e.g. "Pages to be removed"

Add a page properties report macro to the page:

And save it.

As a result, you get a list of all your pages with a removal date.

Thanks for the workaround.

Is there any way to show the property "removedate" beside the page name and even sort the page on "removedate" ?

[Thomas Schlegel]

Yes, of course, the removedate is shown by the page properties report macro and you can also sort the columns:

@Thomas Schlegel Thread updated: Let me know if I should start a new one with this additional question:

How would it be possible to make some basic calculation in the page properties themselves? To be more explicit, here is my situation: 

• I have a space describing business processes
• those processes have amongst other metadata their "maturity" and their "criticality"
• processes with a criticality set to High must be reviewed every 6 month, while processes with a criticality set to Medium must be reviewed after a year.
• I don't need this information to be visible, but I would like to use it in Comala Document Management. Somewhere I would like to calculate : criticality = High --> duedate=P6M and criticality = Medium--> duedate=P1Y
• as rules may evolve, I'd like to avoid hard-coding this in the Stale Workflow code, rather have a conversion table somewhere

Thanks for your help
