Embargo and expiry#

This add-on functionality allows you to embargo some content changes to only appear as published at some future date. To enable it, add the WorkflowEmbargoExpiryExtension.

yaml

SilverStripe\CMS\Model\SiteTree:
  extensions:
    - 'Symbiote\AdvancedWorkflow\Extensions\WorkflowEmbargoExpiryExtension'

Make sure the Queued Jobs module is installed and configured correctly. You should have a cronjob similar to the following in place, running as the webserver user.

bash

*/1 * * * * cd  && sudo -u www php /var/www/vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask

It also allows for an optional subsequent expiry date. Note: Changes to these dates also constitute modifications to the content and as such are subject to the same workflow approval processes, where a particular workflow instance is in effect. The embargo export functionality can also be used independently of any workflow.
