When I use the Web PVR Manager, I usually run down the list of programmes, clicking the check box of each programme I want to record. When I get to the bottom of the list, I then have to scroll back to the top in order to click "Record". To make my life a little easier, I thought I'd put a 'Record' button at the bottom of the list as well. I modified my copy of get_iplayer.cgi so that the action bar is reproduced at the bottom of the list of programmes as well as the top - I don't really need the whole action bar, just the "Record" button, but this made the change simpler - it was just a matter of copying the block around line 2885 beginning
-
Code: Select all
# Render action bar
to just after the second occurence of
-
Code: Select all
print $fh @pagetrail;
around line 2916.
This improves the usability for me, but of course I have to make the change for each new version of get_iplayer.cgi . It seems like a change which might improve the usability for other people as well, and therefore a candidate for incorporation into the official get_iplayer.cgi - what do you think? (It would also save me from having to keep making the change locally
.)
(I like the new forum BTW.)
