I would like an entry to fall off of a Channel Entries loop when X days have passed since the status was changed to X. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? Or even another method?
I could have them just set the expiration date out X days instead of using the status change method, I was just looking for an easy and intuitive way to accomplish this.
I thinks is no such function from the box. You can make ext. I made small example for you. This ext. don't have any ui for settings, so you will need to setup what you want in
if ($meta['status'] != $status_prev && $meta['status'] == "closed" )
{
$this->EE->api_channel_entries->meta['expiration_date'] = $this->EE->localize->now + 30*60*60*24; // 30 days +
}
I use auto_expire for this. http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/auto-expire
... automatically expire new entries. It adds a predefined amount of time to the entry date
auto_expire just runs an SQL query on entry_date > offset change status.
p.s. +1 for swift max_lazar on status change add-on, set expiration_date on status change.
