[opencms-dev] Problem with contentload

[Andras Balogh]

Hello,

    I have never tried it so i'm not sure if it works but each file has 
2 property (or attribute?)
like "Date released" and "Date Expired", you can see this in explorer view.
    You can bind 2 values (like from_date, to_date) from your news schema
to these, than opencms will do what you want, will show only news
that are not expired yet.
You may already have  from_date to_date  in your news structure (schema)
than you don't have to change so much things.
If you are lucky there should be a collector to get the archive news also.
    You should check the docu that comes with opencms how to do all these.

Good luck,
Andras.
