I need to trigger the saving/publishing of a specific article every month to cause one of my plugins to execute that sends an email containing the article. Does anyone know how to do this? I already have the query formed that always selects the right article (gotta love naming conventions!). What I need is to simulate a user in either site back or front saving the article as published. I am guessing it could be fairly simple PHP code. This may seem like the wrong category, but it's the context that counts!
It's possible to execute custom PHP using a Code action. You could give that a try with Joomla API to load and save an article. I cannot help you any further with paid products without an active subscription though, sorry.

Right, that's what I am trying to do. I just don't know the PHP to do it. I've posted
an article on Joomla StackExchange
, so I'll see where that gets me.
