Great idea! I will try to publish the new version as soon as possible, but I cannot say when it will be happen.

Great news! 🙂You could even attach a hook on page save that triggers a warning if a published page is unpublished manually, but will be published by the module again in the future (could work analog for an unpublished page that is published manually, but will be unpublished because of a "publish_until" date in the future).

Making a visible alert/info about the current status and the future status too seems to be a good way and I can agree with it too. I will implement this feature and update the module after test runs.

I would disagree on that. If you only want to schedule publication of some of your pages, you would not expect anything to appear in these fields on pages that have been published manually. In contrary I think it is misleading this way, because it looks like the publication had been scheduled, although it was not. I think it is much clearer if the fields give a clear indication of the user's intention: Blank = nothing happens Filled = publish/unpublish at this date/time Imho the page status is handled by PW and editors should be aware that they can publish and unpublish pages manually. Your module is a great addition, but in my eyes it should enhance the core functionality by offering a way to schedule publishing/unpublishing without forcing additional actions or altering page data. Maybe it would be a nice addition to show a status in the fields that informs the user about the effect of the module like that (in an InputfieldMarkup or as description of the fieldset): Page is currently PUBLISHED, no settings have been applied Page is currently UNPUBLISHED, will be published on XX.XX.XXXX – XX:XX:XX Page is currently PUBLISHED, will be unpublished on XX.XX.XXXX – XX:XX:XX You could even make it really fancy and include a countdown or something like that. This is of course just a quick thought and I do not want to "order" new features. I just wanted to address the user experience aspect and make a suggestion how it could be improved.

Hello Flo, thanks for reporting this issue! You are right - the automatic population of the "from" field should not happen if a page is unpublished at the moment of saving. I will not add a quick fix inside the Hook function only, which is responsible for this behaviour. Instead I will test the module functionality more intense before offering a new update. I guess (hope) I will offer a new update solving this issue til the end of this week. For the moment, please overwrite the "from" date with a far date in the future to prevent the page from beeing published. Best reagards Jürgen

You installed it manually... so I would check first if you can also uninstall it manually before you move or delete the files. If you instructed PW to use the /wire version beforehand, that should be safe.
