New SE Feature: “Page Publisher”
DynamiX Web Design, LLC is proud to announce the completion of a new optional module in the SE Content Management System: Page Publisher. The new module is available as an upgrade to any new or existing SE powered website. Simply put, Page Publisher allows you to schedule when any page will be visible to site visitors, in a number of scenarios.
You may, for example, want to create a page discussing the addition of new services, a new employee or a sale, but you don’t want that page to be visible until the announcement has been finalized and made public. In this scenario, you would write the content of your page today, but set the “Publish Date” to the day of the big announcement. In this case, the page will appear automatically on that day, without needing any further input from you.
Or, you may want to create a page that discusses your seasonal project, or possibly a short term sale. In a situation like this, you would want that page to disappear from your site after the applicable period is over; and all you would have to do is set the “Expire Date” to whatever that date may be. The Page Publisher even allows you to set both the Publish and Expire dates, giving you the freedom to show your site visitors what you want when you want it. To make it just as simple as possible, the Page Publisher includes a pop-up calendar, allowing you to browse month-by-month to find the exact publish and/or expiration date.
We’re taking this feature even further!
We liked the Page Publisher so much that have also decided to implement a similar, and just as intuitive system into our News Module as an included (standard) feature. With the News Module, you can set the default lifetime of an article, and the system automatically calculates when that page should expire (and disappear from your site) based on the News Preferences. However, if you have a news article that you want to delay publishing or remain active for a different amount of time, you can use the News Publisher in the exact same way as the Page Publisher. Now that’s consistency.
