PCM Focus Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I have put this in a ticket but they adviced to put it in here so i do that A member of our forum have noticed that when you set a time for unlock a topic en you hide the topic the topic opens at the given time. But the topic don't show because it is still hidden. My suggestion is, why you don't make it so that when you put in a unlock time, and you hide it when you make the topic, thats it unlocks and showing at the same time. On our forum we make sometimes topics for the futher. There is then no reason to make the topic visible. So it is normal that you hide it, en for be sure we create a lock time to for in case the starter makes a mistake.

Joel R Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 You should contact a third-party developer to create this functionality for you. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Correct and this has been a long time suggestion and find it sad that its still not native since this functionality already exists in the blogs and in the pages CMS. - I have never wanted to create a post and have it "locked" and then "unlock" at a given time - however I have always wanted a way for people to post things that perhaps embargoed for a certain go live date. I hate having to get up at 6am because something has to publish at 9AM Eastern time. optrexnz and OptimusBain 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilihead Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 But instead of trying to get IPS to have those two separate functions work together, a new setting could be:Topic Publish Date (is not visible until date)Topic Open Date (is visible upon saving)Topic Close Date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine35 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hello, that's exactly the problem I have now. I want to set a topic, but this will only become visible to the members at time X. Has anything changed? I also only find the function that comments are locked. Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teraßyte Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Since the rules app is not being updated anymore the only solution is making a different custom modification that does exactly that. I'm already working on a few different things right now, but maybe I'll have a look at it once I'm done with those. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
