Useful for any kind of schedule that repeats weekly. == Description == The Showtime plugin allows you to easily manage and display a rotating programming schedule. It was originally built for a college radio station, but it could be used for any kind of schedule that repeats weekly. Showtime takes the current time and displays the name of whatever show/event you've placed in the timeslot. If there's no show/event, it displays a custom off-air message. You also have the option of displaying the name of the upcoming show/event. ## New in 3.0 This release is a ground-up re-write, so the code is (hopefully) an awful lot better than it was before. The sorting method is better for the days of the week, and the front-end presentation is no longer a horrible, horrible jQuery hack! Everything is more efficient, better-looking, and the shortcode output doesn't sit on top of all the content anymore. Also, there's some snazzy new AJAX-ification stuff going on in the Schedule manager. Current 2.1 users, don't worry; there's a database upgrader built-in, so you don't have to re-enter all of your current show schedules. **That being said**, be sure to backup your database before running the upgrade; it will remove the _showtime database table when it's done. I'm almost certain it won't break. Timezone support is improved, but please email me if you're still having trouble. ## Current Feature List * Easily create editable shows/events by settings start/end times. * Customizable "Off-Air Message". * Hide or display upcoming show/event. * Customizable CSS in the admin panel. * Shut it Down: Temporarily replace your schedule with off-air message. * Display your schedule using template tag, widget or shortcode. * Link your event/show names to URLs. * Upload images for events/shows and display them in the Now Playing widget. * New shortcode to easily add the Now Playing widget to Posts and Pages. * Support for databased that don't necessarily use the wp_ prefix. == Installation == 1.

This ensures consistency in your entry/display times. == Frequently Asked Questions == Q: I just installed Showtime, and I don't see a place to add new shows. Why? A: You **absolutely** have to set your timezone city for the plugin to work properly, as it has to have a local timezone to set its clock to. It's in your General Settings page. Q: After I upload an image and click "Use as Featured Image" for a show, nothing happens. A: You have to click the "Insert Into Post" button, *not* "Use as Featured Image."
