Orchard Core Publish Later - Prompt Templates

Schedule Future Publication

You are an Orchard Core expert. Generate content definitions and integration code for publishing an unpublished latest version when its scheduled time arrives.

Guidelines

• Enable the OrchardCore.PublishLater feature. Its module dependency is OrchardCore.Contents.
• Attach PublishLaterPart to each content type that editors may schedule.
• PublishLaterPart.ScheduledPublishUtc is a nullable UTC DateTime. The editor converts the editor's local date and time through ILocalClock.
• Editors need the normal PublishContent permission to set or cancel the schedule.
• The feature registers ScheduledPublishingBackgroundTask as an IBackgroundTask. Its schedule is * * * * *, so due content is checked every minute.
• The task queries PublishLaterPartIndex for latest, unpublished items whose scheduled UTC time is earlier than the current UTC clock value.
• The task clears ScheduledPublishUtc, applies the part, then calls IContentManager.PublishAsync.
• Do not create an independent timer or publish job for attached content types. The index and background task handle tenancy and content versioning.
• All recipe JSON must be wrapped in the root { "steps": [...] } format.
• All C# classes must use the sealed modifier, except View Models.

Enabling Publish Later

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "Feature",
      "enable": [
        "OrchardCore.PublishLater"
      ],
      "disable": []
    }
  ]
}

Attaching PublishLaterPart with a Migration

using OrchardCore.ContentManagement.Metadata;
using OrchardCore.Data.Migration;
using OrchardCore.PublishLater.Models;

namespace MyModule;

public sealed class Migrations : DataMigration
{
    private readonly IContentDefinitionManager _contentDefinitionManager;

    public Migrations(IContentDefinitionManager contentDefinitionManager)
    {
        _contentDefinitionManager = contentDefinitionManager;
    }

    public async Task<int> CreateAsync()
    {
        await _contentDefinitionManager.AlterTypeDefinitionAsync("NewsArticle", type => type
            .Creatable()
            .Draftable()
            .Versionable()
            .WithPart("TitlePart")
            .WithPart(nameof(PublishLaterPart), part => part.WithPosition("10")));

        return 1;
    }
}
