I found the same text of FM 2007 "nation league panel.xml" file on FM 2008 "panels.fmf" file in "program files / football manager 2008 / data" folder.
Perhaps editing this file we can obtain real fixtures in the same way as FM 2007.

Yea i just had a look at that panels.fmf
Alot lot lot lot more stuff in there than what i remember replacing on FM 07 scary.
Im not even going to bother try replacing the stuff in there with the stuff that we used for FM 07 to get a real fixture box!
Hopefully a programmer will figure out what to do for the real fixtures.

Fingers Crossed

Anyway heres the fixtures i made for Championship.
Its not perfect yet i know i made it for FM 07 few months back but changed the dates as IRL for FM 08.
Once we know how to get real fixtures working and stuff ill move all the postponed games and games for telly and monday nights etc... But heres what ive done for now

I think that must be edited the group of rows beginning with the following text:

<panel title="Nation league Panel" save_current_state="true">

<layout class="arrange_vertical_attachment" alignment="bottom, extend" gap="0" offset="1"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" layout_children="true"/>

Unfortunately I don't know HTML language.

Hopefully a programmer will edit this section of "panels.fmf" file.

In a previous post of this forum section "panels.fmf" file has yet been edited in the section concerning huge database.

Now section of "panels.fmf" file.

The problem is how editing .fmf files.

If I use an editor like notepad or wordpad or the DOS editor and then save the file, when I open FM 2008 and start a new game, appears an error message and the game crashes.

We need to know the exact procedure to edit .fmf files.
