[SOLVED] Automatically moving old NEWS to archive

[bmohor3]

Is there a way that I made a new category (e.g. old news) in News and after a while (e.g. 1 month) News that are older than 1 month are automatically moved to old news?

Thanks for your anwsers

Normally one would use the expiry dates for this.
The newsarticles will stay in their category, but can automatically get inactive after the expiry date has passed.
You may need to change some options in the News admin.

Or something like:

News page

Code: Select all

{news number='10'}

Archive page

Code: Select all

{news start='11'}

Or use expiration date and then for archive:

Code: Select all

{News showall="1"}

In the template used for archive you could then do some date comparison against $item->enddate and depending on use $item->startdate.

You can do that comparison too to get an automatic archive but I think using an expiration will make the 'current' news query a lot more efficient (more efficient then calling all news items and then in the template compare all startdates agains now() and determine which news items are < 1 month).

I used expiration date as you told me and on first page all the news are shown which dates are not expired yet.
