OK, I misunderstood. I use node variants in panels to grant access to restricted content.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 9:41 PM, Shai Gluskin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shai@content2zero.com">shai@content2zero.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

If you set the post time when you create the content (I assume that's
what you mean), you don't need the filter do you? The content will post
when it hits the time you set.<br></blockquote><br>No, that isn't how it works. The "post date" has NO control over content access; it is the "published" toggle in "publishing options" that controls whether something is "published." <br>
<br>In my example, all of the content is being added to the site <i>in advance</i>. All of the nodes are "published" when they are added, even though they'll have "post date" dates way into the future. The site owners know that content, being published, will be accessible via Google, etc. even before the show up in the RSS. They don't care. They have a MailChimp RSS to Email feed and it is important that a new article goes out every day. That's all.<br>
<br>So I <i>must</i> do some kind of filter based on "now." As an experiment, I tried something which may be simpler, select content with "Post Date less than now" and sort Desc. This also did not switch to the new article at 6PM. But rather at 9 PM. For this to work I need to filter on Select content with Post date less than now + 3 hours.<br>
<br>I think what is going on is that "Now" is the server time (my server is in LA) and the Post date is in Eastern time.<br><br>Shai<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 4:30 PM, Linda Romey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lromey@gmail.com" target="_blank">lromey@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Client needs content published to a feed automatically, once every 24 hours at a particular time. The content has already been created for all future posts.<br><br>I set it up as follows:<br><br>Content:<br><br>Item A: Post date set to 4/9 6 PM<br>
Item B: Post date set to 4/10 6 PM<br>
Item C: Post date set to 4/11 6 PM<br>Item D: Post date set to 4/12 6 PM<br><br>I've created the feed in a View.<br><br>Number of items to display is: 1<br>Sort is ascending on Post date.<br>Filter is set to: Post date is greater than now - 24 hours.<br>
<br>This does not work. With this configuration Item A only gets onto the feed at 10:01 PM on 4/9.<br><br>It seems to work right if I set the filter to: Post date is greater than "now - 20 hours."<br><br>Clearly this must have something to do with the fact that the site is in "EDT" which is UTC - 400. The site uses Drupal 6.25 with Date 2.8. The site time zone is set to "America/New York" and "user configurable times zones" are "disabled."<br>
<br>Though I seem to have it working, I'm still confused. Can anyone explain?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Shai<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
