Miscellaneous Hacks - UK TV Guide v1.0

Took the idea to make this from this request

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

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.
