Hi,

I've searched and searched this site and the web in general but can't seem to find any info on how we can make changes to our homepage on a scheduled basis.

Our site changes several times a day 7 days a week and we would like to be able to stack up the updates to the homepage so they run automatically over the weekend or when people are out of the office.

I've seen a couple of extensions to do this but with such limited documentation I'm reluctant to install them on a production site.

Is this functionality built into Ez anywhere?

It's built in functionality. You need to create a publishing workflow using "wait until date".

Good luck

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your reply.

Would I be right in saying this works only for one content change?

i.e. we couldn't queue up a number of updates to our homepage and have them publish when appropriate. For example our editors usually stack up the saturday and sunday articles on a friday evening and they automatically appear on the homepage when published.

Regards
Ciaran.
