Took the idea to make this from this request (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=165462)

It simply embeds a TV Guide into your forum for all UK channels on "Freeview/digital" TV.

Check out the demo for more details: UK TV Guide Demo (http://whatsyourview.net/forum/tv_guide.php)

Installation is very simple:
Upload tv_guide.php to your forum root.

Then go to Admincp>Plugins & Products>Manage Products>import product

and import: product-tv_guide.xml

now go to Admincp>Styles & Templates>Style Manager>on your style choose "main CSS">scroll to the bottom to "Additional CSS Definitions" and at the bottom of the second box paste:

#container{
width:850px;
height:750px;
border:none;
overflow:hidden;
margin:auto;
}

#container iframe {
width:850px;

height:750px;
margin-left:0px;
margin-top:0px;
border:0 solid;
}

Done!

It automatically adds a link to your "quick links" dropdown bar but if you'd like to add a link to your navbar:

In Template navbar

FIND
--------------------------------------------------
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
--------------------------------------------------

BELOW that ADD
--------------------------------------------------
<a href="tv_guide.php">UK TV Guide</a></td>
--------------------------------------------------

Interesting. Looks good.

Are there any screenshots of this in action?

Edit: Nevermind, I have just noticed the demo link. :)

Installed, thanks. It hasn't added a link to the "quick links" dropdown bar though. I have had to use the navbar

Most excellent modification for my TV Forums. Would love to see US and Canadian Versions.

Thanks for the nice work

Installed!

I was wondering, is there a way to customise the channel layout? I have installed it on an Irish forum and it would be handy to have say RTÉ on the default list rather than Five
