I am doing a website for an electric company. I have created them a Outages Page. But they want it to where they can post information on this page and the outages information (not page) expires after xx days. Is there a way for me to do this but not mess up the rest of my content pages...

Any Help is Appreciated.

Thanks!

You may have to write a custom module just for these outages. However, if the content is relatively small, could you use a HTML block? Or, you could use a Message, but, yes, that would be on the home page at the top... so might not be what they want.

Could you help me write this? I need the following text at the top of page and then a list of outages that will expire after xx days.

"The purpose of this page is to provide information pertaining to significant outages. Outages that affect only a small number of customers may not be listed. We will also provide information for planned outages. A planned outage is one that we create when performing line maintenance or upgrades to our system. If you should have any questions regarding an outage, please feel free to contact our office."

you might be able to use nuke yellow pages modified a bit for this. I would get this module and install it. Then see how it works and if it will work for you. This module allows you to post adds that expire at a set time. I dont know of any others that are already written with that feature. Good luck!
