Landing Page/Program Expire Date

Anonymous · ‎10-16-2014

It would be great if we could set pages and/or programs to expire/unpublish on a certain date. I am mainly thinking about events here, and more powerful event management features would be great like capacity limits and auto waitlist. In the interim, it would be nice if we could set a registration page (or any page) to expire after the event/campaign has completed. This way, we would not need to unapprove pages manually.

Hi John,

There's currently not a native way to do this for a landing page, but a little Javascript can redirect a page dependent on the date/time when you want to have the page open or close. I gave an example of this in this discussion: https://community.marketo.com/MarketoDiscussionDetail?id=90650000000PxFfAAK You can do the same thing just with a registration form with a snippet like this:

<script> MktoForms2.whenReady( function(form) {      var today = new Date(); //set the current date      var registrationClose = Date.parse("1970/01/01"); //change to your desired date      if (today > registrationClose) {           $(".mktoForm").wrap( "<div class='formHolder'></div>" );           $(".mktoForm").hide();           $(".formHolder").append('<div><p>Sorry! Registration for this event is now closed.</p></div>'); //change to your desired content here, set appropriate classes/IDs for styling           };      }); </script>

Hi Kenny,

I can't believe it's taken me a year to see your post. anyway, the link to your discussion is broken per the new community i guess. i entered the script as:

MktoForms2.whenReady( function(form) {

var today = new Date(); //set the current date

var registrationClose = Date.parseDate("2015/01/01"); //change to your desired date

if (today > registrationClose) {

$(".mktoForm").wrap( "<div class='formHolder'></div>" );

$(".mktoForm").hide();

$(".formHolder").append('<div><p>Sorry! Registration for this event is now closed.</p></div>'); //change to your desired content here, set appropriate classes/IDs for styling

};

});

</script>

Am I doing something wrong? I added as a snippet and as an html element, but not getting the result I should. Do I need to add to the page template <head>? Please advise. Thanks!

var registrationClose = Date.parse('2015/01/01');

Awesome guys! Thank you! In a test page, my code is as follows. Seeing that tokens work in the script, i realize that I can add these to the page template and just adjust via tokens moving forward. I am working on redesigning our event template pages. This will be a great addition.

MktoForms2.whenReady( function(form) {

var today = new Date(); //set the current date

var registrationClose = Date.parse("{{my.Term Date}}"); //change to your desired date

if (today > registrationClose) {

$(".mktoForm").wrap( "<div class='formHolder'></div>" );

$(".mktoForm").hide();

$(".formHolder").append('<div><p>{{my.Close Note}}</p></div>'); //change to your desired content here, set appropriate classes/IDs for styling

};

});

</script>

Correction on code:

MktoForms2.whenReady( function(form) {

var today = new Date(); //set the current date

var registrationClose = Date.parse("{{my.Term Date}}"); //change to your desired date

if (today > registrationClose) {

$(".mktoForm").wrap( "<div class='formHolder'></div>" );

$(".mktoForm").hide();

$(".formHolder").append("{{my.Close Note}}"); //change to your desired content here, set appropriate classes/IDs for styling

};

});

</script>

Very strange.

The script works on this page: http://pages.eplus.com/20140211NetAppLunchandLearn_Reg.html

but NOT this page: http://pages.eplus.com/2015-06-12-JurassicWorld-Registration-Page.html

You don't have jQuery loaded on your second page.

I added the following per the working page. Still no luck:

// to make fancy buttons. Uses noConflict just in case

var $jQ = jQuery.noConflict();

// Use jQuery via $j(...)

$jQ(document).ready(function(){

/*$jQ('input[id=mktFrmSubmit]').wrap("<div class='buttonSubmit'></div>");

$jQ(".buttonSubmit").prepend("<span></span>");*/

});

</script>

You'll want to change Date.parseDate to Date.parse. I'll correct my original code to prevent this.
