897757 - Expiration Date for Air Mozilla Events

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Webtools Graveyard :: Air Mozilla, defect, P4)

Description

[Richard A Milewski[:richard]]

We could use a field in the database to enable automatic status switching from Scheduled to Pending to remove events from the site after a predetermined date.

Needs a cron job that finds all events with a "removal date" that is past and still is scheduled.

I would second Richard's suggestion. Better to archive the older events rather than delete them. A periodic review and deletion to free up space can be implemented as a separate process.

Comment 3

[Peter Bengtsson [:peterbe]]

Lawrence, 
We use the word "Removed" to mean a status on the event. It does not mean "delete". A removed event that once had a valid URL is now a 404 Page Not Found. And removed events don't appear in searches or tag filtering. But they're still in the system and can be found by the producers.

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

Peter, thanks. That was my understanding. Thought I should explicitly state that to be clear that I do not want old events automatically deleted. (I requested this capability from Richard.)

Comment 5

[Peter Bengtsson [:peterbe]]

Richard, where would we edit this field? In the event manager event edit only?
