Hi,
I was using Typo3 and there was a setting for content where you can define start and end time of content to be displayed on page.

Example would be that a banner of a weekly tv show can be displayed only specific 7 days until show is on air. After that a new content will be displayed and the old one would go unpublished. This should be automatic and it should use server time. In that way you can create content, set it as unpublished and define the time that content would go online, so you don't need to be by PC on the exact time to set in published.

Is there any module to extend content type settings to define start and end date/time for a content?

Thank for help, Ales

The scheduler module (http://drupal.org/project/scheduler) does exactly this.

Have fun.

Rules can actually do this on it's own without the scheduler module, if you'd prefer fewer modules.

It works ok with Schedule.

I'm just trying to get JavaScript Calendar selector for this scheldule but JScalendar is only supported in Drupal 5.x.
Is there any similar tool/module to get a calendar selector instead of "Y.m.d h:i:s" text format?

I have a problem with cron, because on cannot set it on production server.
Is there any alternative to Scheduler, where system would just check in DB between start and end date to publish content...
