Issue Summary

As I am updating the schedule, I find it is a little difficult to remove programs in bulk. While a mass unschedule option would be handy in rare circumstances, it might be more practical to include a remove button in the schedule box. Another option might be to add a check box in each schedule box to allow mass change like what is possible with the /admin/content page.

you guys do the new-term-new-schedule thing, eh? i guess check boxes might be a good solution.

Our schedule changes almost on a weekly basis. We have 70 new trainees this semester, and they will start hitting the airwaves in about 6 weeks, and it may take until spring to schedule them all in. Then in spring, the entire schedule changes again!!
This actually leads me to another feature request which I do not wish to make official yet...

  • Program Override: At some point, I would like to be able to have the host be able to override the current program for both the archive and currently on the air site display. This would allow for substitute shows and hosts which occur here on a daily basis.

Again, not a request yet, but a future request, indeed. This is a feature which would work well with the host based podcast request.

you've already got an issue for overrides: http://drupal.org/node/145260 ;)

Sorry about that. I thought I had that over at the Radio Group page. My bad.

i just wanted to note that I had to enter a new schedule and it was a pain. I committed some fixes to HEAD to make it easier to fill in a schedule, though that doesn't do much for removing items. you could always try delete from station_schedule_item which would clear the schedule...

What about adding a 'Remove from all schedules' action with hook_node_operations?

Shame that we can't add a new type of filter to show only nodes that are in a particular schedule (AFAIK).

joachim, Au contraire, check out the "Station Program: Schedule NID" argument handler which does exactly that. It's used in the new daily schedule view ;)

Would a "Remove from all schedules" that affected a program be best or just adding a "Clear schedule" button to the alter schedule form?

I meant adding a filter in the admin/content/node interface.

oh, gotcha, yeah it doesn't look like there's any way to add to what's returned by node_filters().
