Our radio station has several shows which are repeat broadcast during the week. But we need to have a way to indicate within the show heading itself that it's a repeat. It's easy enough to add multiple show times, but we want listeners to be able to tell when the new show is. Basically a way to add something like an [rb] suffix to the program name in the schedule.

that sounds like a pretty useful feature. a simple checkbox on the schedule... i'd like to look at that for the 5.0 branch since the separation between program and schedule is much cleaner there.

What sort of general information would people like to be able to add to a programs scheduled times?

Title: Way to indicate that a program in the schedule is a repeat broadcast » Summarize program schedule time

Most programs happen on a regular basis. I think it would be cleaner to provide an option to change something like

Times
* Monday 2pm-7pm
* Tuesday 2pm-7pm
* Wednesday 2pm-7pm
* Thursday 2pm-7pm
* Friday 2pm-7pm

to:

Schedule
* Weekdays 2pm-7pm

Title: Summarize program schedule time » Display that a program is a rebroadcast

Sorry, didn't mean to blow away the original Feature Request title (Rebroadcast)

thumb, that's not at all related. open a new feature request for that.

attached is a patch against HEAD.

features: new "Is redifussion" checkbox in node/*/schedule/add

on rendering, if it's a redifussion, it append "[redifussion]" to the program title. The string is passed through t() so it can be customized by locale means.

have a happy new year :)

Hi again,

past year I sent an incomplete patch :)

here is a complete one, including also the diff against station_schedule.install; a new db field is needed to store is_redifussion.

The Drupal 5 versions are no longer supported, if someone would like to step up to co-maintain it then please do so, otherwise future work will only happen for D6 and D7. Thank you.
