I run a local soccer club website: http://www.minneapolisunited.org/. Uses Drupal 6, but hope to switch it over soon to D7.
I have a little Playing Field notice in the upper right, a View with attachments displays a series of Playing Field Notice content type. These have radio buttons to select a status.
A View on the Front has attachments and rewrites some Fields using Replacement patterns, etc, to display the notice.
So when the games or whatever are rained-out, the Site editor would go in and edit the particular node and change the Radio selection to "Canceled".
Problem: They forget to go back later that night or next morning to switch its radio to "On". Panic and chaos ensues.
Question: Does anyone have any ideas to automate it so the Radio will default to a selection after 24 hours or something.
Rules?
or some obscure module out there?
It would be really great to set them via a View Bulk Operations (VBO) interface as well instead of editing each one.

Rules and Rules Scheduler
Hi Mark,
I think you're on the right track with Rules. I'd probably use Rules and Rules Scheduler to accomplish what you're asking about in Drupal 7.
You shouldn't have any trouble using Views Bulk Operations, in fact, you could probably use Rules to run a VBO each day that would default the radio button on each node using this method.
