Hi there I have followed this tutorial http://drupal.org/node/520016 for Publish and unpublish content regularly on some week days (scheduling loops). The tutorial is fine with one problem its based on tutorial 2 http://drupal.org/node/517674 which allows us to publish content exactly 24 hours after creation. This a great and all but how do I get to publish my content at a specific time of the day?

I have a content type called flight schedule that lists all incoming and outgoing flights at the airport. The schedule is mostly fixed so its repeated weekly. I want to have the publishing and unpublishing of the content to happen at midnight every day. How do I go about doing that? The tutorials as much as they are informative they still lack a bit of specificity. I'd be most grateful for any assistance so I can move onto other issues. Thank you in advance

Regards
Hardrocker

I'm currently digging through the rules module too and stumbled over your post during the search for the solution of my problem. :) I think maybe you could publish or unpublish a node every midnight by setting the scheduled evaluation date to something like: [:global:site-date-date] 00:00:00. just a guess..

Greetings,

Hi Skobe,
Thanks for your response. I have used Tutorial 3: Publish content based on a CCK date field and added another date field for unpublished time. It seems to be working fine for now. My only problem is my time zone is -0400 which publishes and unpublishes the content after the time set. Still working on a solution for this.

not sure if i get you right. so rules schedules the publishing and unpublishing queues not according to your timezone? if so i had the same problem and solved it by setting the right timezone under admin/settings/date-time/configure
