Hi all,
I am creating a component that has 'start date' and 'end date'.
I would like to automatically unpublish the item id the date is older than the current date.

Does anyone have any clue how to do it?

Thanks

Hi Maujb

One way this can be accomplished is by using a standalone script as a cron. On the server, the script should be setup as a scheduled task to run at given intervals. It would then check for current and expired records and publish or un-publish them based on the server-time.

Read this link to understand how to connect to your component from an external script: Connecting to J-Cook from external Scripts / Crons

Your hosting provider should have the info you will need to schedule a task on their server.

Let me know if this helps.

Freakin' Awesome!!! J-Cook is simply awesome - whether you're a highly experienced developer or complete novice whether you're building a small inventory component or a complete community solution! The beauty comes from a fast slick and reliable platform that readily provides developers with everything they'll need to build the backbone of a solid and secure component with wizards for authoring access publishing aliasing created/modified by dates... you name it COOK provides it! J-Cook really surpasses all of the 'competition' as far as MVC tools are concerned! Try love it and get cooking!
