Find links_expiry_days and input how long you want visible files to stay active.. so if you want things to expire after 1 day of being visible, put in 1.

Find links_expired_catid and pick what folder you would like the file to be moved to after it's expired.

Andrew maybe can fill in more options, but this is what we use it for, and like I said, it works perfectly.

Just to add a little more info..

1) If you enable links_expiry_days, then LDM handles post-dating as well as expiry, in other words entries will not become visible until the entry's specified creation date and will then disappear/be moved to another category after the specified period.

2) To set this value globally rather than per category, visit the LDM/admin/settings page and change link_expiry_days etc there

3) If you set the value in a category, remember that this value will also apply in its subcategories unless you give a new value there.
