Scheduled Content Changes?

[johnners]

Hi Guys,

I'm wondering if there is a way to change the "Body" content on my home page.
I'm looking at doing it at 01:00 01/01/23 and I will have the new content all written.

Is there a good way to be able to specify the body content needs to change at the specified time/date?

Thanks

Drew

I'm almost thinking if there is a way to replace the content of the body field in the database using a cronjob - if there is no other alternative?

Hi @johnners

1. Create a new template whatever name you think fit, such as update-home-body.

2. Create a page and assign the template created above to it.

3. Create a new template php file named the same name as the template created in step 1 such as update-home-body.php in the site/template folder.

4. Put the following code in the template file.

<?php

$home = $pages->get(1);

$home->of(false);

$content = "whatever you want or read it from somewhere";

$home->body = $content;

$home->save();

5. Create a cron job to access the page at the designated time.

Hope this helps.

Gideon
