Database records, admin expiry/hide/purge dates please! Currently authors can expire but no admin control and we need more expiry options.

There are expiry fields for the author but none for admins, so let's say we want to create a classifieds site where records expire after 30 days. We can't do this.

It's strange the author can set an expiry but not admins. I want it on the admin side so it can be uniform.

It seems after expiry they go to the archive but we should also have the option for them to be hidden or removed upon expiry. We can only hide or delete by editing each one.

You can use the IPS Rules application to create a scheduled action to happen at your preferred interval which will hide or delete the record. Just schedule the action for the record when the record is created.

Pretty cool thanks!

Suggestion still stands to add this.

PS. So it works with the Pages app and database records right?

P.S. So it works with the Pages app and database records right? 

Sure thing. Let me know if you need help setting up the rule. I'd be more than happy to help you out.

Holy crap Kevin, this IP Rules application is going to totally transform my site.  I can't wait to upgrade to version 4 now.
