I looked the the modules and didn't find what I was looking for. Has anyone seen anything that does the following?

I have a content type for project submissions. These can only be submitted between Jan 15 and feb 29th. I can disable submissions through the control access section, but I want something that will automatically make it available or not on the specific dates that are set.

Thanks,
Gid

You might take a look at Event Repeat, which is a companion module to the Event module. You might also take a look at the Scheduler module.

However, based on your description, none of these will probably suit your specific need. It sounds like you need a combination of all of them, which will probably require custom programming.

Okay, thanks for the suggestions. You're right, I had checked those out and they aren't quite what I'm looking for. When I have some time I'll have to create a module that does what I'm asking. In the meantime, I just have security by obscurity... not quite a good thing. I have a php script that redirects to the actually node submission page only during the approved times. I have to set a reminder to go in and enable/disable the access at the appropriate time but the script will take care of the in between hours until I get a module written I suppose.

Thanks again.

Role Expire does exactly what you are looking for.
