How to show next future post?

Free cakes for help!

:-p

I’ve been searching for some info and I think I could play with some query_post with offset. Anyone there?

It seems the status of the post will be set to future if its in the future & not to publish -so if its not published its not viewable (by non-logged in users)… or is it?

I have edited query.php (starting at line 1083) to;

if ( ('publish' != $status) ) {
			 if ('future' == $status) {$this->is_preview = true;}else{
				if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
					// User must be logged in to view unpublished posts.
					$this->posts = array();
				} else {
					if ('draft' == $status) {
						// User must have edit permissions on the draft to preview.
						if (! current_user_can('edit_post', $this->posts[0]->ID)) {
							$this->posts = array();
						} else {
							$this->is_preview = true;
							$this->posts[0]->post_date = current_time('mysql');
						}
					}  else if ('future' == $status) {
						$this->is_preview = true;
						if (!current_user_can('edit_post', $this->posts[0]->ID)) {
							$this->posts = array ( );
						}
					} else {
						if (! current_user_can('read_post', $this->posts[0]->ID))
							$this->posts = array();
					}
				}
				}
			}

Future posts are now viewable by all when published and not by date

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply! With your hack now I’m able to see the future posts even if I’m not logged in.

Now the thing is that I need to show the next post to be published in the home, something like an “offset=-1” ??

Is there a way to do this?

I’m also trying to work out a similar mod – we’ve got future posts showing via modding posts.php and that might also the way to do it to show only some posts in the future.

Something like –
if post = (GMT <) and post count of posts GMT < with PUBLISH as status = 3 then set post status = future.

Unfortunately I’m no coder but if someone could turn this into the right syntax it should/could/might work? Anyone?

That links broken – can you relink or post the information here.
Many thanks

Here’s a much better way to accomplish this:
