mt-publish-on: Publishing MT Entries At A Later Date.

<p><a href="http://a.wholelottanothing.org/">Matt Haughey</a> has been asking around for solutions to replicate <a href="http://www.typepad.com/">TypePad&#39;s</a> <q>Publish On&#8230;</q> functionality. <a href="http://tenyearsof.us/meta/2003/10/16/php-sql">Various solutions</a> have <a href="http://twiki.tensegrity.net/bin/view/Main/MovableTypeTrickle">been floated</a>, but I couldn&#39;t pass up a challenge to develop something <q>natively</q> in MT that operates just like TypePad&#39;s functionality.</p>
<p>Hence, mt-publish-on, my latest MT creation and first public code modification. </p>
<p>A few words of caution&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Applying code patches is a buyer beware proposition. Be sure to have backups of both files that will be modified readily available in case the patch fails and you need to revert.</li>
<li>In order to implement this package you need to be comfortable working with patch and cron. Due to my already non-existent personal bandwidth I will not be able to answer requests for support in setting up cron or fixing blown patches.</li>
<li>These patches were generated from the <code>Entry.pm</code> module and <code>edit_entry.tmpl</code> template that comes with version 2.64. I have not tested previous versions. There is a possibility it will work, but I can&#39;t guarantee it.</li>
</ul>
