Cut-off Date

The Cut-off Date project is designed to implement a site-wide, configurable threshold for date and time settings. This threshold value acts as a global configuration that can be applied across different parts of the site. It serves as the primary mechanism for establishing cut-off points for content display, user interactions, and other time-dependent processes.

Purpose

The Cut-off Date is a dynamic setting that allows site administrators to define a singular, universally applicable timestamp which determines the point at which certain content or tasks are considered expired, restricted, or no longer relevant. The goal is to standardize time-sensitive activities and streamline the management of content across the platform.

Features

• simple date-time configuration option
• in code, the cut-off date value is available as a timestamp through configuration,
• in UI the cut-off date value is available as a set of date format tokens,
• cut-off banner options: shows configurable banner on selected content types,
• block override for cut-off date banner allows for more granular application,
• [coming soon] cron-based sliding cut-off date option: simply set relative time value, such as "-4 years" to get the date time value automatically adjusted.

Installation

Simply follow standard module installation procedures. Configuration page is available under /admin/config/content/cutoff-date
