The Joe Frank Wiki:The Heroes Lounge

2021 updates

I made a little script to check the music page youtube URLs for dead videos:
Youtubechecker
I am not correcting the 3 errors it found so you can see it in action. The first error is from an incomplete URL for the Ohio Players, a typo. Funky Worm appears elsewhere on the music page correctly.

← I added a button that will pull up a random music track from youtube in a new window! it uses YT links, live, from the music page. I should be able to leverage some of this code for a YT link-checker also.

I attempted to tag all the shows with the show category and a show by date category with dates as the sort key. I may have missed one or two.

I added a "Random show" button, but still need to tag 1/2 the shows with the hidden category Show. It will give you a random show, but as of this evening only selecting from the first half of his career.

Tragically, the special word {{PAGENAME}} will not work with the new dynamic page list module, so I removed all traces of it.

I reverted to my birth name

Took some words out of the first sentence of the program pages.

Renamed Interesting Facts to Miscellanea, to manage expectations.

Added a new section, Shared material, with bulleted links to shows even if they are already mentioned elsewhere on the page.

And Additional credits, which are in quotes when transcribed from a broadcast. If they are from Joefrank.com or by ear, a bulleted list is good. Where these disagree we can have both, sourced.

I added a module that allows users to create their own custom sidebar menu

To add a custom sidebar, create [[User:<YourUsername>/Sidebar]]. Some sample markup: two asterisks, Page_Title pipe display text, so

 ** The_Joe_Frank_Music_Page|Music page 

will add a link to the music page with the link text "Music page"

It should appear directly below the 'Site updates' link.

I added a youtube module, you just:

 <youtube> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ4T9CQA0UM <youtube> 

Not sure how I feel about it. I used it on Summer_Notes_(Short_Film)

I need to update the chronology of the early shows on their individual pages

I added a mobile front end, which includes a new skin and re-organization of some elements of the pages while on mobile devices.

I added broadcast dates for early shows based on data from worldcat

I added two previously unknown early shows found via worldcat

The software is now the latest version. I will continue to update it, hopefully upgrading the search results and other modules - those are set

I also aim to fix all the red links from the Other_(series) and add Remixes where they are missing from the series lists and chronology.

Apologies in advance for any Internal Server errors that are thrown as I update modules. if/when server errors occur give it 30 seconds and try your action again.

It appears some pages were lost in the upgrade, these pages appear on AllPages but have no content. Seem to only be pages which haven't touched since the wiki was moved in 2011. I put the previous version of the site back online so I can grab those were I need to. It is at old.jfwiki.org The workaround for these pages, which won't allow you to edit them, is to delete and recreate them.

I also changed the default timezone to eastern Ramon (talk) 13:23, 22 February 2021 (EST)
