Hi,

I am tyring to figure out which modules to use so that I can create posts that can assign when it starts and when it ends, kind of like the advanced poll module but I want to to create my own content type when I can assign it to show up on the front page on certain days

Somthing like
Starting date: Date that the posts shows on the front page.
Duration: one month or one week

Thank you.

I don't think that will have anything to do with a CCK module. I think you want to look into, the actions.module w/ the scheduled actions.module allowing you to schedule when actions take place and you very well may need the scheduler.module.

Thank you for replying.

I will check that.

I kind of word it wrong too, more specifically I want to know whether it is possible for actions to affect only one field in the cck and not the whole post. That is the post still appears, but one of the fields in the content type to switch off or switch to something else at a certain time.

Thank you.
