| − | 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:
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Converting from pre-3.0 tags to 3.0 tags ==
| |
| − | If your article is missing data, or you are editing an old article with frequency or talkgroup information, please see the [[Wiki Extensions Conversion Guide]] for the required coding changes
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == 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:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[image:Conventional.jpg]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == 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|sssss</site></nowiki>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Where:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | xxx = The Trunked Radio Database sid number
| |
| − | sssss = The system's Unique DB Site ID
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Next to the site number (shown circled on the left) is the site name. If there is more than one site, you must choose which site name you wish to display. In this case, click on '''simulcast'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[image:Sitenumber30.gif|Finding the site number]]
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | Use the '''Unique DB Site ID''' as the second value for the tag.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[image:Sitexample.gif|Get the Unique DB Site ID]]
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | So in this case, the correct site tag would read:<br>
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <nowiki><site>187|5129</site></nowiki>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == 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 ID that's shown in the 2nd image below
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The SID is found using the method above. This is the first value in the tag.<br>
| |
| − | To find the unique ID, 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. Use the '''Unique ID''' as the 2nd value in the tag.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[image:Trunkestep2.gif]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | In this case, the complete tag would read:<br>
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <nowiki><tg>187|1455</tg></nowiki>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==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.
