Expire Content

Hello,

I have been given the task of incorporating our corporate website into a different CMS. The current site uses a custom developed CMS that was written in classic ASP several years ago. I am thinking that Mojo is the way to go. I do have a question. We issue press releases that have to be input and scheduled to run at a later time. I see that blog entries can be scheduled to run at a later date, so this will work perfectly for that.  We also have an events section. When an event date has passed, we no longer want it to show on the site. Is there a way to expire a blog entry with MojoPortal so it no longer shows on the main blog page, but still shows in the archive so the links that have been indexed by search engines remain or is there another type of feature that allows content expiration? 

 

Thanks

You can publish any module during a selected period of time. If you use standard HTML module for each article and publish it both on the event page and the archive event one you could reach such a goal. On the event page you would publish it for a selected period of time and in the archive page form that time further. Is this a solution?

But the link to the article will change in such a case.

Re: Expire Content

Often what people will do is use our Feed Manager feature on their home page to show recent news. The Feed Manager would consume the RSS feed from the blog to show the recent blog posts (our add on product Event Calendar Pro also supports RSS feeds for events and this can also be consumed in Feed Manager so you could show both recent blog posts and upcoming events in the same instance of Feed Manager.

So this way the blog itself has all the history of posts (for best SEO they never really expire) but only the most recent are shown on the home page. There are settings in feed manager to control how old or how many items to show from each feed. There are also settings in the blog to configure the outbound feed.

Hope that helps,

Joe
