Is it possible to set the content type availability like node scheduler?

Posted by Ciril Tharayil on July 4, 2012 at 12:32am

Hi Friends,

I am trying to make a contest content type and registered users can apply for this contest, in a limited time period (for example 30 days.)
After the contest period ends I want to set the content type to be disabled automatically, so that users cannot submit anymore entries.

I use scheduler for node publishing and un publishing but that doesn't work for content types, I tried a bit with rules but didn't work out.
Is there any module or some tips to give me to make this function work?

Thanks in advance.

You could use the webform

You could use the webform module to create the contest, then since it is a node you could use the scheduler module

But webform works totally differently.

Thanks for the heads up.

I know about the webform but that won't work since it cannot work as node fileds especially with views.
I want the user submitted image to be published in the gallery so that others can see and vote on it.
Also I want to pull all the data of the user inputs through views and display as a new views page. And the user submission is also displays in the profile page.

Looking forward to see any other tips other than webform.

Once again thank you so much.
