I am having some issues,
I want to display a Daily Specials for example, Monday beef sandwich.. but only display that on a MONDAY,, on tuesday i want to display the tuesday special..

right now i made a Content Type Restaurant and each restaurant has monday_special, tuesday_special, wednedsay_special, etc text fields

am i going in the right direction.. anyone can help me or point me to the right direction
I tried the Daily module but i dont get it.. you pick a Date...does it publish it a week from that date every week?

I'd probably do this with a custom block (in the content region) like this:


$day_of_week = date("l",mktime());

switch ($day_of_week) {
case "Monday":
    print "<h2>Monday Special</h2>";
    $node = node_load(1);
    print $node->content;
    break;

case "Tuesday":
    print "<h2>Tuesday Special</h2>";
    $node = node_load(2);
    print $node->content;
    break;    
    
case "Wednesday":
    print "<h2>Wednesday Special</h2>";
    $node = node_load(3);
    print $node->content;    
    break;    
    
case "Thursday":
    print "<h2>Thursday Special</h2>";
    $node = node_load(4);
    print $node->content;    
    break;    
    
case "Friday":
    print "<h2>Friday Special</h2>";
    $node = node_load(5);
    print $node->content;    
    break;    
    
case "Saturday":
    print "<h2>Saturday Special</h2>";
    $node = node_load(6);
    print $node->content;    
    break;    
    
case "Sunday":
    print "<h2>Sunday Special</h2>";
    $node = node_load(7);
    print $node->content;    
    break;    
}

That's off the top of my head-- didn't test the code or anything, but the mktime function definitely works (i use it on my site).

You'd have to add stuff for pulling the node based on the fields by restaurant, but you get the idea.
