Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.When user tries to extend expired node, its expiration time is calculated starting from expiration date, but not from current date.
For example:
If my expiration period is 2 days and node expired 5 days ago, I have to extend it minimum 3 times to return it into not expired state.
It would be good if expiration time be calculated with offset from current date.

CoPut commentedNode expiration date is calculating from current date now.

marcvangendI agree, the new expiry date of an expired nodes should be calculated as now + $days. However I think that nodes that have not yet expired, should still be calculated as expire + $days, otherwise, the user 'loses' a couple of days when he extends before the expiry date. I intend to implement this behavior in the upcoming D6 version.
