Is there a way to set an expiration date on a document?

I noticed this was posted more than a year ago and was not sure there have been any updates. Is there a way to add an event that would check the expiration dates on all files and send out notifications for expired documents? I started down the path of a custom attribute for ExpiresOn but as I think this through a little I am not sure that the regular notificaitons would work against all documents. I am not able to create a SQL job to run a stored proc on this client's server. Any ideas on a way to implement this? Derek

Derek, Notifications work in conjunction with the log and especially log types. So what you'd need is (1) a logtype called 'expired' or something to that effect, (2) a scheduled service to weed out the expired docs and calls the log when expiring documents, (3) a link in Logging.ascx between the log type and a notification to send. That would do it. All in all not trivial to do, but with a bit of coding this can be done. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
