When we set the "start publishing date" for an existing posting to a future
date, the page is not displayed. I believe that is the expected behaviour. I
s
there any other way to display the existing content of a posting, when a
posting is updated and the "start publishing date" date is set to a future
date until the "future date"?

Thanks,
Aby

Yes. The idea is that if the date is set to the future, you don't want to
use the content on the live site. So it is unavailable, even via the API, on
the live site.

You may be able to do what you want to do using Connected Templates and
Postings, though.

Hi Aby,

I cannot see the sense in this.
Setting the start publishing date to the future means you DON'T want it to
show up before the date has reached.
If you want it to show up now you should not set the start to the future.

Could you please explain your scenario in more details?

Cheers,
Stefan

Stefan,
Let say we have a live posting and the author wants to change the content
and approve it now. But the author wants the approved content to be publishe
d
on the "start date" and current content to be "live" until the "start date"
for the approved content.

I think the way MCMS works, this can't be accomplished. Am I right?

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
Aby

Hi Aby,

you are right, this cannot be achieved.
The reason for this is that there is only one approved version of a posting.
Other versions are historical revisions which are not accessable in
published mode.
So as soon as a new revision is approved the old version is no longer
available in published mode.

In addition to that: the posting properties are not versioned. Means there
is only one start published date which affects all revisions of the posting.

What you could do is to create a copy of the original posting and set the
end publishing of the original one to the same time as the start published
date of the copy.
Then modify the copy.

This will ensure that the original posting will expire the same moment as
the updated version will go live.

There is only one caveat with this approach: links to the posting will break
with this approach.

So if this is not an option you should implement the changes on your staging
system and export the changes to an SDO file. Then run the site deployment
import job at the moment you want to get tha changes live to the production
system.

Cheers,
Stefan
