ghost-publisher

Publish drafts with published_at > current datetime

WARNING

This package is really really unreliable! I don't recomment you using it. It's using a very brute force method to do it's job currently and it's not what you want to use in production! Please keep this in mind.

I'm still working on better approach and will update this package as soon as I come up with something.

Installation

$ npm install -g ghost-publisher

Usage

# Publish drafts with expired publish date from production Sqlite3 database
$ ghost-publisher /path/to/ghost/app

# Publish drafts from development database
$ ghost-publisher /path/to/ghost/app --file ghost-dev.db

Alternatively, you can require('ghost-publisher') and use it in your own scripts. Example:

var GhostPublisher = require('ghost-publisher');

GhostPublisher({
  source: '/path/to/ghost/app',
  file: 'ghost-dev.db'
});

Pitfalls

Please note that as of Ghost v0.6.4 you cannot set future published_at value.

The dirty fix is to open /path/to/ghost/blog/core/built/assets/ghost.js and remove these lines:

if (newPublishedAt.diff(new Date(), "h") > 0) {
  errMessage = "Published Date cannot currently be in the future.";
}

Same piece of logic should be removed from /path/to/ghost/blog/core/built/assets/ghost.min.js

I hope there will be more elegant solution in the future, so do that at your own risk.
