Keeping a web site up to date has become a simple task for Joomla based projects. Today it is easier than ever before to manage your content quickly and efficiently. But what about when a company closes for the weekend or recess or block vacations… how can you enjoy your time away from the company and be assured that your website is being updated and managed for you by Joomla?

Surprisingly, there appears to be many Joomla based site owners who are unaware about ‘time triggers’. This is something we explain when we school clients taking over a new and completed site. But probably because of the ‘jaw dropping’ experience of coming face to face with Joomla for the first time (hey -it is awesome!)- this important feature often gets swallowed and forgotten.

So what is a time-trigger? When you create a new article in Joomla 1.5 or new static content in Joomla 1.0.x you have the option specify  a ‘Start Publishing’ date and also a ‘Finish Publishing’ date.

This is a really cool and useful feature. You can prepare news, promotions, special offers etc… and when you leave your website behind at the office to enjoy your freetime - Joomla will publish the ‘time triggered’ information automatically. Your website stays totally up to date and your customers continue to receive the professional service you provide.
