I saw an example in the manual that allows you to set a time for the entry to stay posted. Then it expires & is not available. Where can I set this? I did not see it in date feature to set expiration.



Thanks

Hi,

The documentation can be found here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/special_fieldnames.html

What you do is you create a field with a special name. In this case, it's a date field called removeDate. If you create this field in your section and set it for a record, then that record will no longer be available after that date.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, Jason -

Just a thought...

Is there any way we can modify/configure the removeDate option in such a way as to make "today" a global setting for every entry in the table?

In other words, if an entry is older than today it just doesn't show up.

Do-able?
