“Display Until…” Plugin available?

  • I’m looking for a plugin that will let me set the date until which a particular post will display. I’ve seen the Auto-delete after a given date plugin, but I need something with more options. What I’m looking for is something that will let me set, for each individual post, a date until which the post will be displayed (not a fixed number of days). Has anyone seen anything like this? Or if not, care to give me an idea about how I might code it up (I think I could figure out how to do it if I had a point in the right direction). Thanks!

  • What should happen to the post after it has passed it’s expiration date?

    I can think of three options: 1) it could be put into a different category, 2) it could be deleted, 3) “Post Status” could be changed to “draft”. I can think of advantages and disadvantages to each method. I guess a forth option would be to add another parameter for every post so that each post is either visible or invisible (hope that makes sense), and after the desired date it is simply set to invisible. I suspect that last option would involve quite a bit more work, though.

    My plugin does #1 and #2 and it could easily be made to do #3. But, of course, as you’ve already noted it’s for all posts and not necessairly a single post.

    I will explore the ways of implementing this on a post-by-post basis.
