Hello Max,
the is a branch on github that do the job, it´s like a dynamic window.
https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/tree/feature/advance_deadline
They are 2 possibilities.
A floating unit, like you tell packetfence to register the device for a
week, so if you register on tuesday at 11am then your unregdate will the
next tuesday at 0:01am. (work with day, week, month, year and you can
add a delta)
A current unit, like this time you set a value of a week, but if you
register a device on tuesday 11:31 am then you will be unreg on the next
Monday at 0:01am (work with day, week, month and year and a delta too)
The only thing is missing in this branch is the admin gui stuff.
Regards
Fabrice

Hi all -
This scenario has not happened yet, but I've been thinking about it
for the last month.
We have PF setting the unregdate out 120 days exactly from the
regdate. So, if someone registered mid-day, their unregdate will be
mid-day 120 days from now.
I'm worried that people may be in the middle of something important
(an online quiz/test for class, a phone call via a softphone, an
important Skype interview, database transaction via the ERP) and all
of a sudden they hit their unregdate, get unregistered and lose
connection. This could be very bad, especially with tests and
database work.
Is anyone doing anything in response to this? Or is it not something
people are worrying about?
The one thing we thought of while thinking out loud is sending a
person an e-mail 7 days prior to their unregdate, and giving them a
way to extend their regdate another 120 days (maybe via a link or
something...). It's not fully thought out yet...so don't make fun of
it!! :)
Max
