sticky entry and outdating

[Timbalu]

Hi Garving, Any...

Is there a way to give a sticky entry a sort of outdating, so it will just jump back into the normal way of floating down after this date?

No, the current implementation of sticky entries require you to "unstick" them manually.

One can modify the "outdate_entries" plugin though to remove the ep_is_sticky property value of an entry after a special amount of time. Modifying that plugin should be easy with some basic PHP/SQL knowledge.

ok, thanks!

But it might be a good idea for future versions, wouldn´t it?

I've just committed verison 1.1 of the plugin which allows you to expire sticky entries to unsticky entries after X days.

Wowh!
Where in fact can I find it (after > 24h)?
You shurely mean serendipity_event_outdate_entries under additional plugins, don´t you? The current one has Revision: 1.6, Mon Aug 1, thats what is confusing me...

Hi Garvin, just found it.

Well, my goal was just to have the possibility to modify a individual sticky entry with an individual outdate for being sticky. (There could be something like a countdown of days - instead of marking it as an sticky entry on startpage.) This plugin seems to do more (I´m not sure if it touches normal entries...) and just gives a general outdating value.

Any ideas?

Doing this per-entry is too complicated, I don't have time to implement this and think it's not soo terribly useful?

I'm sorry,
Garvin.
