Hi Gus, Not out of the box. You'd need to code a bit. What is necessary is: 1. a custom attribute 'Expiry Date' and 2. a DNN scheduled service that checks for this and does the appropriate action. The latter requires programming. Of course you can always ask us to help you with that. Peter

Thanks Peter that's a great help. I have discussed the requirement with the client and they need to set an expiry date and have the files appear only in an archive folder when the date has passed. My feeling is that it would be quicker and more cost effective to ask you to do the coding. It would probably take me too long to get up to speed with how the module works. However, do you have any documentation on building custom attribute solutions to DMX? gus

Hi Gus, The best source of info is the 'API' forum here. There is no formal documentation of the API. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
