[MMM-Showtimes] Local Cinema Showtimes

MMM-Showtimes - Local Cinema Showtimes.

Unfortunately this is UK only for now. If there's enough interest I will source a better API for global use.
Although I'm sure most of you could easily alter a few lines with an API of your choice to find cinemas close to you.

If I leave now (from NYC) I can make the early show tomorrow.

@mykle1 Awesome. Guess you’re treating me to a movie tomorrow then.
I actually have a small issue which i just realized, do you think you could help?
Basically for some reason the css will only display 5 show times, the others seem to overflow, which is then hidden by the default “main.css” i used ul (the movie) display:block, and then ul li (the time) display inline-block and a set width, normally this would just put the next list item on a new line but not on this occasion. Any clue?

@seann

css is NOT my strong suit. I usually do a good bit of googling at that point and/or ask right here in the forum. Your question might be lost in here. If you can’t work it out I suggest you create another topic (ex. css help) and I am sure someone will give you the answer pretty quickly.

@seann He should…but he’s kinda cheap LOL

@seann
My suggestion: Fire up the mirror UI on your browser, press F12, move the move over your module, right click -> inspect.
Then look at the styles section and play with switching styles on and off.
Then you can use whatever you need in your own css overwriting main.css in your module.

@lavolp3 Thanks! It was something stupid I had done. But I found it with your suggestion.
