logic
Yea, I found some things about it on the web and a lot of them had to do with putting logic into the scripts. It wasnt what i was anticipating to make this happen.
I was hoping there was a 'cron' way of doing it. But I am starting to think that my hopes are going to be dashed and i will have to write additional code to give me odd and even weeks.
But if anyone has any easy way for this, please by all means, the forum is open.
Thanks.
