Description

would it be possible to automatically unpublish or delete nodes who's date has passed? I didn't see it as an option, and noticed that old nodes were not deleted...thanks for your help.

it is our opinion that this kind of functionality should be implemented by generic drupal tools and not become part of aggregator.

now normally I'd recommend using Views Scheduler module for this task but I'm not sure Views Scheduler works properly with Drupal 5.

we'll have to investigate this, and if Views Scheduler is not a viable option implement another solution.

just tested views scheduler and it works fine.

you'll need to manually create an info file for the schedule module which is a bit annoying. or maybe you can convince "Views Scheduler" developers to stop depending on schedule.

I'll set this issue to "won't fix", if views scheduler doesn't work for you change it back to active.

I'll create a contrib module to handle this. Low priority though.

before you work on anything maybe we should test Node Expire it should be good enough for a sitewide automatic expire/unpublish feature.

I want to implement a per feed expiration not a sitewide one.
