DJ attendance - The ability to allow DJs to mark themselve as away for a show and the schedule dynamically show that. Also the possibility for another DJ to put themselves forward to cover the show and schedule dynamically adjust to show that too would be great.

More detailed explanation of desired requirements:- (Old feature request with comments - http://drupal.org/node/391680)

I would love to be able to track the attendance of DJs. I would like DJs to be able to say wether they can make this weeks show, if they can no change to schedule. If they cant, it makes to default (archives or whatever) and adds that show to a list of shows needing cover. Other DJs should then be able to select a show if they want to cover it and then the change made to the schedule indicating the temp change. I would also like to be able to store a history of shows, who playied, who covered, who missed, who just didnt turn up.

I think it would be a great feature what does everyone else think?

Kind Regards
Niall

The would be a nice feature to implement, but it needs a lot of work. The problem is that the module does not have a past/future logic, i.e. it permits scheduling only for the current week. To be able to change the DJ of program that will air after 10 days for example would a require a new approach to program scheduling.

What could be done, is to add a "replacement dj" field on program nodes that if not empty will show up on the schedule replacing the regular dj. But that is more or the less the same with having only the current dj field, except that it will permit to log the times that a dj missed his/her show and output different text-formatting/colors on the schedule for that particular show.
