I was wondering if there exists something which allows you to embed specific publishing info inside of the editor.
For example, suppose I have the rights to post in a folder/section "news", and I use the editor, and I am saying:
"On October 10 2007, we will launch version X of our product Y".
Now October 10 has passed, I want the newsitem to stay, but I want the text to instead say "On October 10 2007, we launched version X of our product Y".
Now I know this when I am editing, so perhaps there could be something like:
[NewPublishSnippet ¤tTerm=`will launch` &newTerm="launched" &changeDate="2007-10-11"]
Something to publish/depublish/change only a part of the page, and directly in the editor by means of a code and/or a toolbar function.
I don’t know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but you could do something like this:
$setTime = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
$currentTime = time();
if ($currentTime < $setTime) {
return "will launch";
}
else {
return "launched";
}
Then place a snippet where you want that to show up with something like this [!MySnippet? &month=`10` &day=`10` &year=`2007`!]
That is very basic, and can probably be made better. Also, if you are wanting to do this to a placeholder, you might consider phX, with similar code.
