Content Scheduling
|
|
|
| We use MCMS 2002 and I am trying to find out how to use the content
scheduling feature for a page that already exists on the site. I could not
find anything speaking directly to this in the documentation or help
information.
For example, we are changing the name for one of our affiliates. I would go
ahead and make the content changes, proof them, and approve them all now with
the future date of our name change. In my mind, the CMS should keep the
existing version of the page active until the new version's publication
"Start" date (in page properties). I could create a whole separate page, but
that seems to defeat the purpose and the page would need a different page
title and links would fail and . . . . Has anyone dealt with this already?

Thanks for your help,
Chris

| Hi Chris,
As posting doesn't have revisions when you make modification to StartDate
(which is directly related with underlying posting object) it goes to
WaitingForM... and your live posting will go offline ( for more details
check this -

.. So it is not possible to work with scheduling when you have a live version
(it will automatically make it offline). You may need to go for a workaround
such as expiring the live one when the other one get published or something
(you must be able to use same title for the new posting and if you have only
one live version of a posting with a given name, then you should be able to
get the correct posting with the posting url without guid : which will make
sure of no-broken links).
Cheers,
Chester.
