Publish Queue Documentation
Installation:
Unzip the archive and copy the file pi.publish_queue.php into the plugins-directory inside your Expression Engine system-directory.
Preparation
To queue entries for auto-publishing a custom entry status is used. Goto Admin › System Administration › Weblog Administration › Custom Entry Statuses, select the status group that is used by the weblog you’re going to work with and add a new status, e.g. “Queued”.
Now, whenever you post a new entry that is supposed to go live later, assign your new status to it.
Plugin tag
{exp:publish_queue weblog="blog|news" open_status="open" queue_status="queued" interval="120"}
Place the plugin tag into a template that is regularly visited. Every time it is called it will check if there are queued entries and whether it is time to publish the next one.

This parameter is mandatory.
If you want to limit the functionality to (a) particular weblog(s) you can
specifiy this here using the usual syntax.

It will also output the total number of queued entries and the time in which the next entry will be published.
Remove this parameter if you want no output.

Will this allow you to then use db caching since you’re not relying on the future ee entry support?
