Hi Rok!
You have it mostly correct. Yes, some sort of CRON job, probably every hour, would find the “@remindme in 2 days” and send a reminder (via email is my preference) with a link to the post.
But I would really like the “@remindme in 2 days” bit to be “inline”, in the text of the post, not in a comment. When I write a blog post, it’s only for me, so I don’t care that it might not look like proper. I don’t even care about spelling!
I suppose it would be useful to also look in comments as well. I rarely use the comments; since my blog is for me only, I just edit the posts as required.
“… and then the CRON job would parse out the content of your <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>posts (any post status, draft, published, private)</span> and execute them and then remove that @remindinin1hour from the text? Correct?”
Not sure if it’s required to remove the “@remindme…” from the text. Easier to just leave them in the post, I can edit them or remove them as required.
Thanks for your interest!
