Expired Notice for Articles

Do you have lots of articles—some people have hundreds or thousands—that are outdated? If you have many articles whose content is outdated, this plugin can let you visitors know.

 

Based on the successful Impressum for Joomla articles plugin, Expired notice for Articles provides a convenient way to add additional notes—text, images, etc.—that will be displayed on all articles within a specified category or categories filtered by the date when the article was created, published or last modified, with the added ability to exclude certain articles from selection or base the selection only on certain articles.  The plugin can be tailored to a broad range of uses, for example, to display legal notices, disclaimers or other advice pertaining to those articles.  The difference between this plugin and the “impressum” one is that this plugin displays the notice at the beginning of the article and offers a range of conditions, e.g. display articles created over n weeks, months or years ago.

 

If you have many articles whose content is outdated, this plugin can let your visitors know.  It may even be easier to use this plugin to place a small message at the beginning of outdated articles instead of spending time in the Joomla backend, finding them as categorising them as expired or however you might have to organise such material.

Although it is possible to add all kinds of “notices” to articles using Joomla modules, modules must be associated with a template position and a menu item.  However, in cases where an article may be linked from another article, for example, there may not be a menu item involved and, in those cases, modules may not be appropriate.  That is why a plugin—Expired notices for Articles—is required.
