Description
Can someone please enlighten me as to what exactly happens when content expires?
I see that an email can be sent to the user notifying them that the content has expired. The default email suggests that the user contact the site admin.
Am I to understand then that a private PayPal transaction would need to occur to re-activate the content? Meaning, user contacts site admin, site admin manually issues a PayPal Money Request, then manually resets the content expiry date... since I don't see a content expiry field, I guess this means re-publish the content... but then how does PayPalNode know when to notify the user about the expiry NEXT date?
Any clarification about this process would be greatly appreciated!

Right now, there is no re-publish mechanism.
This could be done by either having a "re-publish" button added to expired nodes form - or - some sort of node clone occurs and the user effectively publishes a new node containing the same content as the previous node.
I think, for accountability and reporting, the node clone method will be best, as a single paypal transaction is linked to a node id, not a string of paypal transactions.
I will be implementing this node clone functionality in the near future.
