Administrators Thanked: 263 times	Ok, now page_updated field is used to track page updates instead of page_date. I don't think expiration per category is worth implementing. Expiration per page is quite enough. May the Source be with you!

Donator Thanked: 7 times	somewhere as a default setting then? I do not like pages expiring by default. Mainly because I constantly forget to adjust the experation date..

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	Take it easy, expiration is now off by default :) May the Source be with you!

Team Thanked: 52 times	I've just implemented a 5-phase page state sequence. A page can now have one of the following statuses: Draft (work-in-progress, not visible in validation queue) Pending (visible in validation queue) Approved (validated by moderator but the page_begin time isn't reached yet) Published (validated and active) Expired (validated, but page_expire has passed) When adding or editing a page you now have the option to 'Save as Draft' besides 'Submit for validation' (previously 'Submit') and 'Publish' (only for admins). Also, after saving as draft you're taken back to the edit screen, so you can continue working on the page. There are 2 new page tags for status: {PAGE_STATUS} and {PAGE_LOCALSTATUS}. STATUS is the lowercase, English status string (draft, pending, approved, published, expired) while LOCALSTATUS is the localized version of it as defined in page.en.lang.php. The system is backwards compatible with templates that use the old 'rpublish' submit button. In the new templates you should use 3 buttons with name="rpagestate" and a value of 0 (approved/published), 1 (pending) or 2 (draft).

I've just implemented a 5-phase page state sequence. A page can now have one of the following statuses:

Draft (work-in-progress, not visible in validation queue)
Pending (visible in validation queue)
Approved (validated by moderator but the page_begin time isn't reached yet)
Published (validated and active)
Expired (validated, but page_expire has passed)

When adding or editing a page you now have the option to 'Save as Draft' besides 'Submit for validation' (previously 'Submit') and 'Publish' (only for admins). Also, after saving as draft you're taken back to the edit screen, so you can continue working on the page.

Team Thanked: 52 times	You will have to backport my changes to Genoa if you want it there. It's not as easy as replacing a single file. There's small changes in multiple files. See my commits of Oct 14.
