Restricting publication to a specific day only

Thank you for such a prompt reply, Frodo.

Yes, the first is what happens now.

My hope is to create content that will be displayed for one day only. The Daily module lets me create a page with content in advance and specify the day it will start being published. However, it doesn't give me the ability to set the date it will stop being published.

The optimum solution for my needs would be to extend the "Daily content" configuration settings.

Here's one possible approach. First, change the label that now reads "Date" to read "Publication Date". Then under that, it could have something like this:

Expiration Date:
_ Never
_ Date: (Month Menu) (Day Menu) (Year Menu)

Please imagine that the "_" above is a placeholder for a radio-button selector.

Like the date selection menus now being used for "Date", the menus used for "Expiration Date" would be pop-up menus, defaulting to the day following the "Publication Date".

I realize that most users of the Daily module probably wouldn't want their content expiring. Still, there are instances where being able to automatically unpublish content would be extremely valuable. For instance, say you were announcing an upcoming seminar that has a registration deadline and you would like for the announcement to disappear once when the registration deadline has passed. Another scenario would be when a merchant announces a limited-time only sale. The merchant would prefer that the advertisement trumpeting deep discounts disappear once the sale is over.
