Does anyone know were I can get a image of the day block that isnt radnom, so I can display a specific image acording to what day it is.
Also I don't need any voting system for it.

Thanks Very Happy

Are you using anything to manage the images, such as Gallery? These usually come with blocks like this, however, I am not sure about the "voting system" thing. It may be there in Gallery...

No we don't have or need a Gallery, bascily all we need is a block that will display a image for each day of the week.
So Monday will have its own image Tuesday will have it's etc etc.

It's for a radio station, and the idea is it will show who is on today but with the aid of a image so we can make it look all jazzed up rather than just some text.

That's all we need but from searching all that seems to be out there is Random blocks that has built in Gallery, voting for pic's etc ... that too much we just need a simple block that will disply a specfic image for what day it is.

This is how a php dumb would make it...

Code:




<?


$today=date("D");





if ($today=="Mon")


{


echo "Image for Monday";


}


else if ($today=="Tue")


{


echo "image for Tuesday";


}


else if ($today=="Wed")


{


echo "image for wednesday";


}


else if ($today=="Thu")


{


echo "image for Thursday";


}


else if ($today=="Fri")


{


echo "image for Friday";


}


else if ($today=="Sat")


{


echo "image for Saturday";


}


else if ($today=="Sun")


{


echo "image for Sunday";


}


?>

Replace "image for xxx" with your image path

Thank you guidyy Very Happy

I converted the code into a block and it seems to be working fine, il just have to wait till the server changes day so I can see if it will display the next day ok.

Thanks.
