Programming an update system that is timed based?
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2006 6:15 pm
So on my personal webcomic I have an update system where I put in all the comics information, write an update and such and click a button that updates the database and shows up on my pages.
What I want to do now is make it so that if I have to work late or want to go out with the girlfriend that I can write an update around 6pm (I update new content at midnight) and have it 'save' in the database and not show up until 12am.
So my site is http://www.robobo.com and it works pretty nicely so far. The newest comic has a special database field that only the newest comic has. So basically I need to setup my database and update form to 'save' an update until 12am then insert it like it does now.
Is there anyway to do this? Keep in mind, I don't want to shut down my website or make drastic modifications as I have a nice audience that I don't want to disrupt.
Thanks for any help guys. Appreciate it.
