Schedule to publish one page per day

[mjut]

Hi forum,

I don't really know how to do this: I want to create multiple (not published but saved) pages. From that on, I want the pages to be published each page a day aromatically.
I am sure, this is possible.. But where do I begin?

Thanks for suggestions and input.
Cheers

Stephan

1. Create a script that does what you want (publish one page)
2. Trigger that script once a day

For (1) read https://processwire.com/docs/front-end/include/ and for (2) you can either use https://processwire.com/docs/more/lazy-cron/ or - the better solution - a regular unix cron if possible.

Thank you! @bernhard

Here is the script:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php namespace ProcessWire;
include("/home/stephan/www/index.php");
foreach ($pages->find("template=post, status=unpublished, sort=unpublished, limit=1") as $post)  {
		$post->removeStatus('unpublished');
		$post->addStatus('published');
		$post->save();
	}

With cron it is triggered once a day and it will look for unpublished posts. If there are any, the oldest post will get published.

Simple as that.

 

I am using this script to update my photo blog https://photos.stephansimonis.com more regularly. ?
