Description
Submitted for your review are a series of files that extend scheduler.module to permit users to schedule the promotion and demotion of nodes.
Other than the obvious changes, the only other things to notice are:
1) Schema changes to the database,
2) Scheduled entries in the database are not deleted according to the same rules as before. I think it's better this way, but I'll be testing it to make sure.

#1
MySQL schema change
#2
PostgreSQL schema change
#3
I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, but I would love to see something like this work to schedule promotion and demotion of nodes to the front page. I like to have the next nearest upcoming event node (event module) show up on the front page, but disappear after its occured, and be replaced by the next upcoming event
#4
After patching, admin/node/scheduler is blank.
#5
Not a bad feature request, would be easy to add. Changing status for now.
#6
I just want 2nd or 3rd this feature. I don't really need to unpublish things, but I do need to demote them.
Thanks,
Maria
#7
Add to TODO.txt
Making this issue "postponed" as I wish to concentrate on Drupal5 compat and any ensuing bugs. Once stable, I will return to these issues as outlined in the projects TODO.txt file
#8
actions + scheduled actions already enables scheduled promote/demote of nodes.
#9
Also consider adding "sticky" option?
#10
Would an updated patch that does promotion/demotion instead of publish/unpublish be accepted at this point? I can work on one if its likely to make it into a release; otherwise, it's easier just to do search and replace to change the behavior.
#11
Here's an updated patch to do promotion and demotion instead of publishing and unpublishing. Nothing fancy, no extra options. Just a change in terminology where it's visible in the interface and a change in behavior on the backend.
The scheduled actions module doesn't appear to be updated for Drupal 5, for what it's worth.
#12
Updated for scheduler 1.6.
#13
Hi, thanks for your work. Note, if you are changing the schema by patch then:-
#14
Thanks for the suggestions, AjK. I decided, for better or worse, to make this a very "shallow" patch in order to avoid having to touch the schema in any way. The only changes are in the text presented to the user to describe the functionality and in the code that actually perform the scheduling actions. Everything else (form input identifiers, column names, internal variables) are unchanged.
#15
Killing this as no followup work forthcoming
#16
The attached patch gives scheduler the ability to promote and demote nodes as well as publishing and unpublishing them. While I'm sure I've missed an edge case or two, I'm fairly positive that it is flexible enough to handle just about any combination of publishing, unpublishing, promoting, and demoting. It also includes updates to scheduler.install for full database compatibility.
I didn't do any translations, as I don't speak anything other than English. Also, if the wording is inappropriate (promoting vs promotion, etc.), let me know. Try it out and see if it works for you.
#17
Please have a look at #276376: Make scheduler more generic.
#18
Does this feature exist for Drupal 6?
#19
Not yet.
#20
I implemented the patch on the version 5.x-1.16 and it works.
Only one problem: when the item is demoted, it is considered updated and so it is shown in the recent block.
Michele.
#21
Postponing until #276376: Make scheduler more generic is available.
