I require suggestions on how to preload motivational content which updates daily at midnight with new motivational quotes.

I dont mind old content remaining for a few days but maybe after a week outdated motivational content can be deleted.

I am certain there is an app for this ?

I am on Wix Studio Editor - Premium

This will have to be custom coded using Wix Velo.

You can use a recurring job to run every midnight and fetch the new content into your dataset

MANY THANKS - I am not a coder at all and have no idea what velo is…
But I will investigate… :grin:

As well as the cron jobs, this also depends on where you are displaying the text and were you are getting it.

I recently did a similar thing for some events (not Wix Events.)
The text/image urls etc are retrieved from a CMS and the dataset is linked to repeaters.
it will show for the day it’s scheduled for taken from a CMS date. It will then be removed from the CMS when it becomes stale. There is background code to do all of this run by the cron jobs. But to make sure in my case the repeaters update if someone already has the page loaded, there is code to publish the changes.

My code also has a collapse expand behaviour if there is no event for Today. Which save unless any blank space on the page.

I will share how this was all done when I get a mo.

I have a tutorial for scheduled content …
