Nodequeue Scheduler

Description

This nodequeue_scheduler.module provides a publication schedule for nodequeues -
allows to set period (from date - till date) when each node will be visible
in the nodequeue. (Replacement for `Nodequeue Publisher`)

Features:

• Allows to specify `Publish On` and `UnPublish on` dates for every nodes in Nodequeue. Each Node is shown(is active) in NodeQueue from `Publish On` date till `UnPublish on` date.
• Admin user can see "Expired", "Scheduled" nodes in Nodequeue.
• Integrated with Nodequeue's admin backend and Nodequeue's views.

The idea of creating this module was inspired by `Nodequeue Publisher` which has some kind of "insurmountable" disadvantages.

Comparision with `Nodequeue Publisher`:

• Multiple nodequeues:
  • + `Nodequeue Scheduler` allows to schedule a node in mulitple nodequeues.
  • - `Nodequeue Publisher` allows to schedule a node ONLY in 1 nodequeue.
• When nodes are published to Nodequeue:
  • + `Nodequeue Scheduler` publish nodes in real time - no need for cron task
  • - `Nodequeue Publisher` publish nodes using cron task
• Allows to set order of scheduled ( planned for future) nodes in nodequeue.
  • + `Nodequeue Scheduler` allows, the scheduled Nodes are managed in the same way, as any other node in Nodequeue.
  • - `Nodequeue Publisher` doesn't allow.
