Rob Kolosky spoke the following wise words on 10/06/2004 12:10 AM EST:
Is it possible to have a rule start and end on specific days?

Rules can do anything you'd like. Think of them as cfinclude's on drugs which have a standard way of setting configurable properties and a very usable way of adminstrating. Include whatever logic you want into the both the edit and execute method.


I have a magazine on my site that is updated monthly. I was thinking I could have a rule that showed the current month's cover along with the links to the news stories scheduled for that month.

When I define my rule, I guess I would have a start day, and then in the execute method, find the date (via Now(), and query it for which links to display?

Well you can either make the start/end date configurable (a property of that rule instance) or just use the current day. Either way would work -- just depends on what you want to accomplish.
