Publisher X

Publisher X enables you to publish saved Drafts on a future date without the need to handle the cache expiration logic. The cronjob handles the publication and the cache invalidation.

It also handles entries which are to expire or published in the future correctly and will invalidate the cache.

Permissions

To publish a draft, the user needs the "Save entries" permission on the section of the entry.

Installation

Install using composer require goldinteractive/craft-publisher and install in Craft.

Setup

Setup a Cron Job which runs every minute.

Call it via CLI or web:

Web:

* * * * * /usr/bin/curl --silent --compressed {siteUrl}/actions/publisher-x/api/publish

CLI:

* * * * * [PATH_TO_CRAFT_INSTALLATION]/craft publisher-x/publish

Usage with cache plugins

If you have a fullpage cache plugin like blitz installed, which refreshes it's cache over the queue, make sure you also set up cronjobs which run the queue and refresh the expired caches.

* * * * * [PATH_TO_CRAFT_INSTALLATION]/craft blitz/cache/refresh-expired
* * * * * [PATH_TO_CRAFT_INSTALLATION]/craft queue/run
