If you want to use Neos, please have a look at the Neos documentation

Documentation

The Timeable Node Visibility package allows you to activate or deactivate nodes at a specific time.

Adding the Neos.TimeableNodeVisibility:Timeable nodetype mixin as superType to your nodetype definition will enable the feature for your nodetype. The mixin will add the two properties enableAfterDateTime and disableAfterDateTime to configure, when your nodetype has to be enabled or disabled.

NodeType Mixin:

• Neos.TimeableNodeVisibility:Timeable

Properties:

• enableAfterDateTime (DateTime)
• disableAfterDateTime (DateTime)

Per default the mixin is already applied to following nodetypes:

• Neos.Neos:Document
• Neos.Neos:Content

An asynchronous job in background is (see: Run the background job) checking if a node need to be enabled or disabled an will execute that as a command in the ContentRepository.

Install Package

You can install the package with composer.

composer require neos/timeable-node-visibility

Run the background job

There are two ways of running the background job. Each way uses a dedicated command, provided by the package.

1. Run in a cronjob periodically each minute / each five minutes. The command stops after each run and need to get re-executed in your favorite time frame.

COMMAND:
  neos.timeablenodevisibility:timeablenodevisibility:execute

USAGE:
  ./flow timeablenodevisibility:execute [<options>]

OPTIONS:
  --content-repository contentRepository
  --quiet              quiet

2. Run as daemon for a longer period. The command keeps running for the given time (--ttl) and checks every interval (--interval) for new nodes to enable or disable.

COMMAND:
  neos.timeablenodevisibility:timeablenodevisibility:rundaemon

USAGE:
  ./flow timeablenodevisibility:rundaemon [<options>]

OPTIONS:
  --content-repository The content repository identifier. (Default: 'default')
  --ttl                The time to live for the daemon in seconds. Set to '0'
                       for infinite. (Default: '900')
  --interval           Interval in seconds, when the command has to get
                       executed. (Default: '60')
  --quiet              Set to false if you need a more verbose output.
                       (Default: 'true')
