silverstripe-blog-utils
=======================

[](#silverstripe-blog-utils)

A collection of enhancements & utilities for the Silverstripe [Blog](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-blog) module.

These include:

- a cron task/extension to allow the specification of an expiration date for a post, at which time it is automatically archived.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require "logicbrush/silverstripe-blog-utils"
```

To execute the cron task, you must create a cron job that calls `dev/cron` as [illustrated here](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-crontask).

Blog Post Expiration
--------------------

[](#blog-post-expiration)

A new date time field `Expired Date` has been added to the `Post Options` tab. Enter this value to have the post automatically archived at the specified time.
