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.
I set it up as follows:
Content:
Item A: Post date set to 4/9 6 PM
Item B: Post date set to 4/10 6 PM
Item C: Post date set to 4/11 6 PM
Item D: Post date set to 4/12 6 PM
I've created the feed in a View.
Number of items to display is: 1
Sort is ascending on Post date.
Filter is set to: Post date is greater than now - 24 hours.
This does not work. With this configuration Item A only gets onto the feed at 10:01 PM on 4/9.
It seems to work right if I set the filter to: Post date is greater than "now - 20 hours."
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."
Though I seem to have it working, I'm still confused. Can anyone explain?
Thanks,
