I have a need for a particular functionality, and before I go and create a module to do it, I thought I'd check to see if anyone else is already doing it.
What I want is to have all my event node (or maybe some subset) automatically promoted to the front page for some specified period of time before the event takes place and then to automatically be unpromoted after the event is over.
I didn't see any module that provided that functionality on d.o. Is that something anyone is currently working on?
What I would do is, instead of coding something custom, place a view on the front page that shows all nodes of type event occurring between X time from now and Y time from now. You can use panels to place it in a pretty way if you don't feel like making it a block.

Yeah, I thought about doing it that way, but I don't think it'll work for my situation, and I don't want to spend the time trying to find out, when I know the other way will get me what I want. Thanks for the suggestion, though. -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadaeh.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 15; Cramer, 13; Travis, 11; Angela; Harry, 7; and William, 2) Linux User: http://www.kubuntu.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/
