Publish a change at a particular time?
How Do I?
How do I make a modification to an Entry, but schedule the publication of that modification?
For example, I want to update an image on a particular page on the first of next month.
I don’t see a way to publish a change, but I thought I could create a new Entry at the same url with the change, and have the old Entry set to expire at the same time the new Entry’s publication date happens. I tried to test that by setting the “old” entry to yesterday, and the “new” entry to today – I get an error in that case.
What’s the right way to do this?
There are native ways to do this.
One way would be to use a grid field for the content in question and add date fields to the grid. Then with a conditional you could display/not display content based on that date.
You could also potentially do the way you mentioned with a Relationship field, create a new entry and then relate it to the original one… then the template could use the URL title of the original one, but the content from the new one when the time comes…
Makes sense?
