Do you mean for cmsb to have the ability to publish anarticle at a certain time and date and remove it when expired? if so this facility is already available. You need to add some special fieldnames.

publishDate (Field type=Date)
removeDate (Field type=Date)
neverRemove (Field type=Checkbox)

More info on this fantastic feature can be found on the following url. cmsb rules!!!

Yeah, scheduling Tweets sounds pretty cool. I'm curious how you accomplished that too! Care to fill us in, or give us some hints?

Hi rusty,

yes we can.

step 1 make a news section
stap 2 use te"publishDate" field to schedule the article
step 3 make a rss feed document.
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/rss_feeds.html
step 4 go to www.feedburner.com
make a account and submit your rss feed after a few minutes your feed will be published.

that was one way to go
another way is not to use Feedburner but a small script from code canyon: http://codecanyon.net/item/rss-to-twitter-auto-post-recent-items-to-twitter/55879
but you must know how to set up a cronjob (not that hard)

We got a few ways more but that required some costume coding.

hope it helps

PS: we are working on a cool iCMSBlog/site with tips and tricks it will go life with our new site.
