Seems like it can, but my problem is the version of Plone we're currently at: 2.0.5 and the fact that we've already deployed "PlacefulWorkflow" to resolve problem of multiple workflows (AlphaFlow doesn't seem to play nice with it, at least from my 15-minute test). But thanks for the pointer. AlphaFlow is definitely something I would look at in the future. As for my immediate needs unfortunately I'm still looking for solution. -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245 pgpIlFsUZJLiw.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests

Yep -- this is how the "typical" site uses those dates. However, some
folks want actual workflow transitions to happen ASAP after each date
passes. In that case, you need to write a periodic task which searches
for objects which are in the "between" state (e.g., their expiration
date has passed but they are still "active"), and cause the workflow
tool to "tickle" the transition machinery. E.g., as a Python Script::
# untested
for brain in context.portal_catalog.searchResults(
review_state="published",
expiration_date={'query': ZopeTime(),
'operator': 'max'}):
obj = brain.getObject()
wf_tool.doActionFor(ob, 'expire')
Yep. And just reinforcing the obvious:
Trigger the script Tres mentioned on a regular basis
