I have an image slider on my homepage which is populated with child items. The client would like to publish, re-order, delete items and publish the items at a specific time. To do this I currently select each page that is changing and the parent node and publish them at the time.
Is there a better way to do this so it's easier for CMS users to use.
Can the user assign the slider items to the page ? Or are they just read from a place in your content tree.
Umbraco supports scheduled publishing out of the box by the way. You can find 2 date properties on the Generic tab of your content item to control the publishing and unpublishing by date.
The user can create slider items. If these are set to publish at a specific time I seem to need to publish the parent page as well. If I don't do this this child pages don't automatically publish.

Hi Alan,
Depends a bit on how you set this up.

Hi Dave,
The user can create slider items. If these are set to publish at a specific time I seem to need to publish the parent page as well. If I don't do this this child pages don't automatically publish.

That is normal.
The parent needs to be published otherwise all children can not be published
