Is there a way to expire posts after a certain date in Graffiti?

You could use a custom field "Expires On" (datetime) and write some code to check that when the post is loaded.

Thanks for the response.  Could you point me in the way of some code that would accomplish something close to that?

You can start here: http://graffiticms.com/support/advanced-options/custom-fields/ that will give you a bit to chew on :)

 Thanks for responding.  So do I have to do it in C#?  Is there a way in the template language to go:

if customfield.date > current date {

display

}

See this post: http://support.graffiticms.com/p/164/1798.aspx#1798

It leverages using a chalk extension to do the check for you - The chalk method could be as simple as passing a date in and returning a bool of greater than today. There is a chalk example link on there.
