publishing expired stories

Hi,
I am working on an import of about 20000 stories. Users
wish to have only a year old stories on cover pages, while
older should go on special archive cover pages. To use
expire date for this seem quite natural, but I wonder could
expired stories be published, ever?

Regards,
Zdravko

No. But if you're just listing stories from the last year on those pages, then limit the query to stories from the list year using the cover_date_start and cover_date_end parameters to list().

Best,

OK, I'll do that. I must have missed the concept of the expire date.

Hi,

I see that a lot of effort have been put not to publish expired stories.
But then, shouldn't $burner->best_uri return error, too?
It's like calling for broken links.

Perhaps. Expired stories are not deleted stories, though. Please file a bug report though and I'll think about it.
