| − | The RadioReference Wiki has some custom extensions. Many of these can be used to display dynamic data in the database of custom pages of information. They are currently as follows:
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Displaying Conventional Frequencies ==
| |
| − | You can display conventional frequencies stored in the database with the following tag:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <nowiki><freqsubcat>xxx</freqsubcat></nowiki>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Where:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | xxx = The Frequency Subcategory ID
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To find the subcat ID, click on the page symbol with the small circle next to it, and the following results:

| − | == Displaying Frequencies for a Trunked System ==
| |
| − | You can display the frequencies for a Trunked Radio System in the database with the following tag:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <nowiki><site>xxx|yy</site></nowiki>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Where:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | xxx = The Trunked Radio Database sid number
| |
| − | yy = The system's site number
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To find the "sid" for a trunked system, look in the URL for each trunked system entry:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[image:Determine sid3.0.gif|normal|Determining Trunked System SID]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The site number is shown on the far left column of each row of trunked system frequencies under the column named 'site'
| |
| − |

| |
| − | == Displaying Talkgroups ==
| |
| − | You can display the talkgroups for a Trunked Radio System in the database with the following tag:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <nowiki><tg>xxx|yyyyy</tg></nowiki>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Where:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | xxx = The Trunked Radio Database sid number
| |
| − | yyyyy = The unique DB ID that's shown in the 2nd image below
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The SID is found using the method above.
| |
| − | To find the group name, go down to the desired talkgroups and point at the page symbol with a small circle next to it. The following display results:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[image:Trunkedstep1.gif]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Click on it, and the following image results. The group name is at the top, category ID below it

| |
| − | ==Displaying Recently Updated Frequencies and Talkgroups==
| |
| − | ''You've submitted changes to the database, they've been entered - why can't I see the changes on the Wiki?''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The reason is that you are getting your old page from the Wiki's page cache. What is needed is to clear the cache, so the Wiki is forced to rebuild a new article, and the extensions will pull the updated information. To do this, add the statement ''?action=purge'' to the end of the URL, then press enter.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It's '''recommended''' that all articles that use the extensions to pull frequencies and talkgroups add a link at the bottom of the article for this purpose. Using the <nowiki><small></nowiki> tag will keep it out of the way of the rest of the details. For example<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | <nowiki>
| |
| − | <small>[http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Andrews_Air_Force_Base%2C_MD?action=purge Refresh] this page from the latest database entry</small>
| |
| − | </nowiki>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Displaying EBay Search Results==
| |
| − | You can display Ebay search results with the following tag:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <nowiki><ebay>Your Search Here</ebay></nowiki>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | This extension is helpful for displaying used equipment on many of the equipment pages.
