I’ve run into a situation where a client wants to be able to set part of an entry to expire (a subset of the entry), but not the entire entry itself.  I’m not aware if this is possible, without reorganizing and making that section they want to set to expire a different channel / weblog altogether (which in this scenario would create more work from them in terms of data entry, hence trying to steer clear of it). 

I hope that made sense..

I thought there was perhaps an addon of some kind that might accomplish this, but I have been unable to fine one.  Thanks for any feedback!

You could use a custom date field to hold an expiration date and then in your template compare that date to the current time to only show those parts of the entry if the expiration date is later than now:

{if '{your_expiration_field format="%U"}' >= '{current_time format="%U"}'}
 show custom fields here
{/if}

That’s a good idea - I think I was making the issue too complex.

Thanks.

Glad to see that helped. Please post again as needed.
