Sorry the domain is dead at the moment. We're swapping hosts.

I never got round to swapping to mambo. So can't give you a module or code but if you want some advice here's the general algoitham and pointers on what to put in your code:

N.b this is not a perfect solution by any strech of the imagination but it may get you going.

Set up two tables, one for show times, one for show info. Also have a directory of images to display what who is on now

in the show times table have fields for name, start time, end time, day of week

in the show info page have fields for show name and image name.

when run the script should get the current time and day. Pull out all the records in the show times table that match the current day. Then do some kind of logical operation that says if the current time is greater than the start time and less than the end time, then that show is on air.

eg:

while(more records){

if(startTime<current time && currentTime<endtime){
return showName
}
loop

Now you know what's on air you can use the image name and find the corresponding image in the directory so you can display it in on the page.

The code to run the script can just be placed in your template, I think. your script should return the link to the image file.

hope it makes some sort of sense

if the current time is greater than the start time and less than the end time, then that show is on air.

this is what i was going for.. but i couldn't figure it out..

if the page where you have the info to for the dj's bio is a static page, you could just hard code it into a link to that page.

i edited the reply above to show the rough logic. The return showname could just be a string with the full URL.
