Hi,

I have this module configured on the home page of one of my sites to display three of the latest articles in a given category starting at 1. The articles in this category are all dedicated to events and are assigned a standard Finish Publishing date in Joomla.

For non-logged in users, it works perfectly. Articles routinely expire and are no longer displayed.

However, for logged-in users, the module insists on always displaying three articles from more than six months ago which have expired long ago.

I have gone through the module settings numerous times, and checked and rechecked the creation dates of the three articles, but no luck; I remain utterly mystified.

Do you have any idea what might be going on here? I really hope so!

Thanks in advance.
Colin

Hi Olivier,

I tweaked the dates, but it had no effect.

The thing is, it doesn't bother me personally, as I know exactly what visitors to the site will see, but one of my users who logs in from time to time complains to me about it.

Well, I just checked his user group and he is an Admin, so it looks like Admins also see unpublished and/or archived articles as well. I am going to have to remove his admin rights and tweak the ACL so he is still has access to what he needs for his role.

Now at work, I'll have a look at the mysql tables later this evening.

I realise that this issue is most likely not specific to your module, so I appreciate your taking time to respond. I just wish I understand what the rationale is behind displaying unpublished/archived articles on the front end. If I ever discover why, I'll post a follow-up.

OK, I am looking at the Joomla content table in phpmyadmin.

I don't see a column called "Published"; I do see Publish_Up and Publish_Down and one called State.

Are you referring to State?
