Hi, can someone please help with this question:http://drupal.org/node/661798
In short, can I use Rules to publish content created one year ahead of time. The content needs to bu published one devotional one day at a time. Can I do this with one Rule, or do I have to create one Rule for each day
Thanks

Yes. I would add a date field
Yes. I would add a date field to your Devotional content type using cck, to set the date it shoul be published. Then it should be possible to create a single rule that publishes devotionals on the date specified in the cck date field. Let me know if you need more specifics.
I followed the tutorial and it did work
Thanks very much for the tip. although everything is explained clearly in the tutorial above, I had trouble choosing the tokens I needed for the "Identifier" and "Scheduled evaluation date" fields. Once I figured out what I needed, everything started working for newly created devotionals. I then cloned the exiting rule to work with content being updated so the devotionals I had created before having the rules in place, get scheduled when content is updated.
I still have one problem though. All devotionals are being scheduled to publish the day before at 19:00:00 and I would like to change it so all devotionals get scheduled at 23:45:00 hours.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
