README

Publisher X enables you to publish saved Drafts on a future date. The cronjob handles the publication, and cache invalidation is managed through Craft CMS's native element save events.

It also handles entries which are to expire or published in the future correctly and will trigger cache invalidation through Craft's standard element lifecycle events.

Permissions

To publish a draft, the user needs the "Save entries" permission on the section of the entry.

Installation

Install using composer require nst/craft-publisher and install in Craft.

Setup

Setup a Cron Job which runs every minute.

Call it via CLI or web:

Web:

* * * * * /usr/bin/curl --silent --compressed {siteUrl}/actions/publisher-x/api/publish

CLI:

* * * * * [PATH_TO_CRAFT_INSTALLATION]/craft publisher-x/publish

Usage with cache plugins

If you have a fullpage cache plugin like blitz installed, which refreshes it's cache over the queue, make sure you also set up cronjobs which run the queue and refresh the expired caches.

* * * * * [PATH_TO_CRAFT_INSTALLATION]/craft blitz/cache/refresh-expired
* * * * * [PATH_TO_CRAFT_INSTALLATION]/craft queue/run
