Thread: Workflow Script to set expiration date
Workflow Script to set expiration date

I am using Plone to publish classified ads, which I want to expire automatically 31 days after publishing.  I would like to write a workflow script that sets the object expiration date to current + 31, and don't know how to go about that (ie what the python syntax etc would be).  Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
Barry

ps I do know how to add/edit a workflow script as it is in the book.

Read this:

<http://plone.org/documentati
on/tutorial/creating-workflows-in-plone/introduction>


As documented: the current object is available through the
'state_change'
parameter passed to each workflow script. Setting the
expiration date is 
trivial:

 someobject.setExpirationDate(DateTime() + 31)

In addition: read the posting "Automated smpt message
in plone" posted on 
this list some hours ago.
