nst/craft-publisher
===================

Publisher X enables you to publish saved Drafts on a future date without the need to handle the cache expiration logic. The cronjob handles the publication and the cache invalidation.

Publisher X
===========

[](#publisher-x)

Publisher X enables you to publish saved Drafts on a future date. The cronjob handles the publication, and cache invalidation is managed through Craft CMS's native element save events.

It also handles entries which are to expire or published in the future correctly and will trigger cache invalidation through Craft's standard element lifecycle events.

Permissions
-----------

[](#permissions)

To publish a draft, the user needs the "Save entries" permission on the section of the entry.

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

[](#installation)

Install using `composer require nst/craft-publisher` and install in Craft.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Setup a Cron Job which runs *every minute*.

Call it via CLI or web:

Web:

```
* * * * * /usr/bin/curl --silent --compressed {siteUrl}/actions/publisher-x/api/publish
```

CLI:

```
* * * * * [PATH_TO_CRAFT_INSTALLATION]/craft publisher-x/publish
```

### Usage with cache plugins

[](#usage-with-cache-plugins)

If you have a fullpage cache plugin like blitz installed, which refreshes it's cache over the queue, make sure you also set up cronjobs which run the queue and refresh the expired caches.

```
* * * * * [PATH_TO_CRAFT_INSTALLATION]/craft blitz/cache/refresh-expired
* * * * * [PATH_TO_CRAFT_INSTALLATION]/craft queue/run
```
