Image rendering problem
- Hey, when you have a moment, can you take a look at Paradox and Talk:Paradox? We've been having problems with some images showing up blank even when properly linked. So far, it's been reported on FF, IE6, and IE7, and clearing the browser cache doesn't help. If you follow the links, it's adding extra escape characters after the file extension. Any ideas what's going on?--Hardvice (talk) 16:20, 3 January 2007 (EST)
- How about now? I just basically deleted and retyped the Image links in the gallery. When you clicked on the image it was going to Charlie_birthday_1.jpg but then it had some ASCII hex after it for some reason so it didnt find the filename, but it didn't show up when editing the page. Not sure what the deal was, but it seems to work now. (Admin 16:28, 3 January 2007 (EST))
Meta: StringFunctions
- Admin, I noticed that there are a number of string functions that are available for parsing. They are not installed by default, but they would allow substring manipulations. Do you think the community would be interested in these? I can think of a few parser tricks to check if a template variable is a Ref or not by checking if the string begins with [[ ... but I don't know what kind of risks adding string parsing would add to your server. --Orne 17:11, 4 January 2007 (EST)
- I'll take a look at the extension and test it out. If it looks good, I can add it. (Admin 17:38, 4 January 2007 (EST))
Episodes to Chapters
- Shouldn't we Rename All the Episodes to Chapters cause that is the Term that the Show uses. ~ ~ ~ ~ Red = 22:34, 4 January 2007 (EST)
- It's an interesting idea. Personally I prefer the episode approach (in terms of the namespace name) since it's more general and I'd be afraid of them doing something along the lines of splitting the series into different "books" and then they'd start reusing chapter numbers. Maybe it could be added to the title field of the episode sidebar? Would be good to get some more feedback on this from others here before adding it. (Admin 22:43, 4 January 2007 (EST))
- I like the idea, but I agree with your concern, Admin, that things might change along the way. I don't think it's necessary to add the title field, since the chapter number is already on the page (in the form of the episode title screencaps). But I'm not opposed. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:21, 4 January 2007 (EST)
- Yeah, I'm on the fence as to the value. I think we include an image of the chapter and episode name in every episode already anyway, right? So it might be superfluous. (Admin 23:22, 4 January 2007 (EST))
