    I’d like to be able to curate PDFs in a single media library on our website, rather than have to link out to various external sites, where it may be really tough for people to find the information they need. Examples of PDFs stored in the library include:

    seasonal recreation guides
    momthly event calendar
    annual report
    quarterly program guide
    directory of seniors programs and services
    daycamps and summer camps for children and youth
    financial literacy and employment readiness workshop posters
    job fair posters
    seasonal park and attraction guides

    Does this plug-in allow media to be automatically expunged/deleted from the library according to an admin-set date?

    So “guides” could be grouped. Or, similarly, a user could search for “recreation” or “senior” and find relevant media.

    Uploading stuff as it’s fed to me isn’t that hard, but remembering to take stale media down so that it’s no longer accessible once it’s “past due” is a problem… I have one of those… what do you call them… oh, right. Life.  A busy, busy life!

    So… For example, if the community librarian at our northeast branch sends me the PDF event calendar for June, I can upload it to the website, but I don’t want to have to remember to purge it/take it down July 1. Similarly, if a city-run summer camp runs July and August, I may forget in September to remove the PDF poster from the site. Old, indexed, no-longer-relevant info is a real turnoff, IMNSHO.

    Hello @rd1970,

    No, the plugin does not support any “calendar” functionality, it is not able to expunged/deleted from the library on due date. You can try Media Expirator instead / along with it.

    Best,
