Topic: [HACK] Choose Date/Time For Posts & Prospective Posting

Name: Choose Date/Time For Posts & Prospective Posting
Author: NyNe
CuteNews Compatibility: 1.3.6 - 1.4.1
Description: What This Hack Does:
This hack will add date/time selector boxes in both add and edit news.
*update: If the time you enter in either edit or add news is the same as a time already in the database it will add 1 second to the time.
*update: When adding or editing news, the news.txt and comments.txt will be sorted by order of timestamp
It will also put an option in the system config for administrators to turn prospective posting on/off.
With prospective posting on, posts that have been written with dates in the future will not display until their date.
