Question

I know its possible to schedule pages for publication in SharePoint 2007. Is it also possible to do this for listitems?

For example, a list of links to news stories. Could these be scheduled for future publication? If so, how?

Answer 1

You could add a “publication date” field in your list (assuming it’s a list you can add fields to) and then modify your list view to only show items for which the publication date is in the past.

Just modify the section of you schema.xml to something like :

    <Query>
      <Where>
        <Leq>
          <FieldRef Name='publication_x0020_date'/>
          <Value Type='DateTime'>
            <Today />
          </Value>
        </Leq>
      </Where>
    </Query>
