Hi All!
I am working on a website for a radio station and I am trying to get a handle on the logic behind the current program block. I have the station and the now playing modules installed on my development system. I understand that the now playing module can be setup to take the songs that are playing from a shoutcast server in addition to the schedules that are setup. How does the block determine whether to use the songs from the shoutcast stream or the schedule?
I also see that there is a setting "Default schedule:" and that the current program block follows that schedule. I am wondering if it would be possible to move the setting of which schedule is showing to the block configuration. The reason I ask is the station has an AM and an FM station that would like to display both schedules on the page.
These stations both have music segments but also longer prerecorded programs.The way I would like it all to function in the end is to have the two currently playing blocks one for each station. If there is a program scheduled in the schedule that it shows it as playing but when there is not it displays the music currently playing from the shoutcast if nothing is available from it then the default message. A am currently studying PHP to see if I can make or modify modules to make this happen.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Frederick
