Hi,

I have a page I update every sunday at night, but this sunday I'll can't make this update because I will not have access to internet. So I would like to create now a new revision of the page and schedule the publishing.

I have tried the Scheduler module but it works only for new nodes. I tried to define a date in the future for publishing but it unpublished my node and turned it unavailable.

How can I do this?

Thank you very much.

Any news on this? I have the same need, running a news page, it would be awfully nice to have some way of writing the update and then deciding when the update should be published. Good for nice urls also.

You can of course do the creation of a new node; copy-paste the stuff; change it; write a cron script to unpublish the first node and then let it publish the the new node and change its url-alias to the original one.

Can someone write it please.

Has this issue been resolved anywhere? Does the scheduler module address this need?

Thank you!

i need this too... surely someone must have done this already! i imagine a mix of some of these modules: workflow ng / scheduler / revision / draft ?

I have a site for a movie theatre and I've create a Content Type for the movie information and typically when created the information is listed under "Coming Attractions". I would like to allow editors to be able to update movie times, additional information, etc. to this content type and then "schedule the publishing" to take place when the movie moves to the "Now Playing" status.

The problem I have is exactly the same as above. When they update the content the information unpublshes from the "Coming Attractions" and then waits for the scheduled publishing. Ideally, the revision that was originally published in "Coming Attractions" would remain intact and by viture of publishing the new version all information would be updated at the scheduled time.

Any idea on how to make this work.

Thanks.

It looks like this http://drupal.org/project/revision_moderation does pretty much that, although it's been in alpha since last December. :( (I'm trying to work out much the same thing myself.)

"Content Moderation" http://drupal.org/project/content_moderation which looks like more of a general purpose module.

Revisioning: http://drupal.org/project/revisioning (If I get a chance to try these out, I'll post the results here.)

Is this also possible in Drupal 6?

I have tried the "revision_moderation" and "content_moderation" modules.
I can not schedule the publication of a node revision.

For example:
When the node with ID 1 has several revisions.
I want to schedule the publication of each revision of this node.

Node 1
- revision 1
- revision 2 => now online
- revision 3 => publish on 2010-10-01
- revision 4 => publish on 2011-05-05

Subscribe, same use-case as above. I'm using the Revisioning module.

Additionally, on initial node creation, there may be several unpublished revisions. If the node has never been published, the first revision is considered the "current" revision, and subsequent revisions are "draft". It's likely the "publish on" date/time was set in the initial revision and not altered for subsequent revisions, but expected behaviour will be that the latest revision is the one that gets published.
