Ok, so I have not been given the go ahead from the person who is working on our template that they are done! BUT, until then I wanted to give you the heads up on what we are using and where you can find answers:

http://www.vaultwiki.org/

This is the software we are using. If there are admin settings we need help with, please let me or Stephen know and we'll do what we can. He and I are the only two with access.

One page that has a template perfect is Kc Wayland --- the only reason I chose that is because I filled in the content myself.

Anyway, that's where we are. Thanks for coming on board, and ONLY moderators are allowed to mod the Wiki at the moment- And only Moderators can see this post.

[mascaria]

I'm super excited about getting to play with this soon. Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to read through the docs.

[Kc]

Just got an Update from the Vaultwiki guy, Ted.


Before you start making changes, I still want to try once more to auto-convert the syntax once I am confident I've worked out all the functionality you need.

I had to add conversion support for some syntax, and fix some issues with syntax that was already supported.

I should be able to finish up next afternoon.

Thanks for your comments.

This afternoon we should be good.

[Kc]

Just received message from vaultwiki, we are good to go! Feel free to edit the wiki!

[nikvoodoo]

It looks like someone started on episode recaps at the beginning. I'm starting at 18 and working backwards!

[Kc]

That would be great! there's a lot of information there, it just needs to be updated and possibly reformatted. I'm mobile driving around, but I will be helping later today-

[nikvoodoo]

Chapter 18 done. Probably just a touch too much in terms of the plot, and I need to rest my brain before I go get more quotes. I'll start on Chapter 17 later tonight. I can't seem to find the link for cover art for chapter 18 anywhere, so its missing.

[nikvoodoo]

Does anybody know how to spell the actor's name who plays Hope? Jane Lehatch?

[nikvoodoo]

I fear trying to add this because I don't want to break the character template, but should we add a "Status" to indicate if they are alive or dead? I think that would be a nice touch. But I'm not sure exactly how to do it.

[mascaria]

The template is just code. you're not going to break it but you'll have to go through each one and fix it.

You can't? Is it a permissions thing?

You can't? Is it a permissions thing?

I think it might be. I just uploaded a picture as a test run into the Refueling Station article and it accepted it just fine.

When I tried last night I went to the Upload new file link and it was just directing me to create a new page. :|

OK< did some more testing, uploading that file is fine. There's a few ways to do it. One is that button, but you upload a file with the same name as the article. The article acts as a file then. It sounds funny, but it works.
If you do it wrong, you'll get this message:
"
The following errors occurred with your submission



You must attach a file with the same filename as this article's title."

There's another way I'm looking into. Stand by.

Does anyone have a visual preference for the character page layouts? Sometimes the basic biographical information is above the Content Box, sometimes its below it. What do we want the official look to be?

I thought I said this last night when I saw them, but the Season pages look amazing!

[StepLaugh]

so right now I'm going through the chapter reviews and adding [wiki} name of character [/wiki} in the code. so everything can link together.

Cool. I'll get those cleaned up.

[Kc]

Also, anyone is welcome to clean up the front page as well. it's not a very effective front page.

[mascaria]

I will tackle the front page if no one else is.

I had a question about the character pages.
Did you want Michael's quote on everyone's page or can that be edited per person and if there's more than one good quote per person do you want to replicate the quote thing or just list the others under in normal text?

I can try to tackle the home page, but I'm getting ready for a wake tomorrow and a funeral on Wednesday so I might not be able to take care of it. If it's not done by tomorrow morning, I'm not going to be able to attempt it until Thursday.

I can listen through the series again for quotes for everyone. I'll look for one liners, and significant character quotes.

[mascaria]

We also have a great quotes thread. Don't forget that!

[nikvoodoo]

I had an abject failure of an evening trying to create the homepage. I tried to make something that looked like this:

But in reality I created a jumble of nonsensical code that made my head hurt. I yield the floor to anybody else who wants to take a shot.

[Kc]

Another thing that might help... if anyone wants to go through the Articles and find any strays that aren't linked up properly. I think there's a bunch that are let hanging...

[StepLaugh]

Yeah I'll try and do that today.

[Kc]

I added a Wiki Help section with nice videos. Here:
http://zombiepodcast.com/forum/showwiki.php?title=Wiki+Help

Also, I'm going to pull this thread into the Forum section, so that everyone can see it. In here it's only moderators.

[Kc]

I plan on contacting the actors and filling up their pages as well. I won't have them do it, but just forward me the information.

OH! and we need to add Greg Miller and Brittney Brombacher to the staff page~

[Wicked Sid]

Blam, done. Mr. Wayland, I added Greg and Pete under the actors' page as well.

I'll get started on their pages.

*Edit* I asked them to fill it in.

[Kc]

Awesome! I am getting more fields to fill in on the wiki for the cast and crew

[Kc]

Ok, check this out! NEW cast template is up! I labeled this one actors2. I'll modify a crew one as well, but this has new fields that our actors are going to fill in. Check it out here:
http://zombiepodcast.com/forum/showwiki.php?title=Jay+Olegario&redirect=no

I'm working on other templates as well, but this is the first. Would anyone be willing to go through and update the actor's wiki pages to have the same template? I know it might be a pain, but there's no much more info this way. Other profiles will have video as well.

[nikvoodoo]

You know, if you were inclined you could add these quotes to the wiki... just saying...

I just started to get some quotes into pages, but that box only allows for one quote. I just put three quotes for Angel into the template but it only displayed the final one. Anyone have thoughts how to fix that? (You can see what I mean if you go into the edit tab on Angel's page).

Otto Sturcke

Birthday: September 3
Height: 5' 10"
Hometown: Valencia, Ca.
Primary Website: www.sturckestudio.com
Twitter: ? Get back to you.

For this part, you can write a few paragraphs(or pages if you like):

Bio: Born and raised in Sun Valley, California, Otto aspired to become a professional artist ever since he could remember. His aspiration was further cemented by one of his elementary school teachers, Mrs. Ferris, who had a keen talent for drawing cartoons to decorate the classroom.

In high school, Otto's talent was more apparent as he delved into creating his high school yearbooks. It was in these years that he became much more appreciative of the art world, drawing inspiration from Disney artists to the Renaissance masters. Otto soon began to paint portraits after becoming familiar with the captivating works of Michael Angelo, Ingres, Saturnino Herran, Velasquez, and Bouguereau.

Immediately after high school, at the age of 17, Otto enthusiastically joined the U.S. Marine Corps in hopes of attaining financial aid for an art college. He was recognized for his drawing ability and was named the "artist private"; although, his plans were momentarily altered in 1991 when he was called to serve in Desert Storm.

Soon after his military service, Otto continued to take art workshops and art courses at several local art associations and colleges. During this time he also took up acting, joining the Screen Actors Guild in 1997. Since then Otto has performed in several television shows and films including, "Crusade", "Mad TV", and hosting Univision's "Control".

In 2003, Otto began to produce and art direct award winning films, including "The Project's Lumiere", which received an Oscar by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Student Academy Awards and "Alondra Smiles" which was awarded the "Director's Gold Award" to good friend and director Conchita Villa at the International Family Film Festival, Hollywood.

In his studio, Otto enjoys experimenting and evolving his works with all sorts of different media. Often mistaken for photos, Otto's works demonstrate hours of technical patience, although he seeks to alter his methods as often as he can to truly enjoy every aspect of painting.

Much of his work also involves developing art for film and television, having now created for more than 250 projects. His current projects include conceptualizing and sketching art for Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Smurfs", HBO's "East Bound and Down" with Danny McBride, and "Narnia, Voyage of the Dawn Treader".

Otto resides in Valencia, California with his wife Maria and their pug Luna.

Fun fact: I once had a job as a "psychic friend".

Stories from the Set of We're Alive: I'm having a blast working with the cast and crew! Jogging in place and breathing into a microphone has never been so much fun!

Katherine Botts
Hometown: Houston, TX

(is it supposed to sound like 3rd person??? Anyways, here goes--->) Bio: Katherine met KC while attending a Harry Potter movie premiere dressed as Tonks (he as Sirius). They later learned they both went to Chapman University and Katherine couldn't wait to contribute to a zombie podcast! Currently residing in the lower San Fernando Valley, Katherine spends her time working on her own feature film projects and developing fan-made music videos with her roommates.

Fun Fact: Loved the movie 5th Element so much that when she was in highschool, she sang the Diva Opera mix for a voice recital.

Story from Set of We're Alive: Favorite moment was watching Angel and Riley play with gak, gakky-goop to get the feel of what it would be like to hide in a pile of dead bodies.

Okey doke children of the corn: Each character's wiki page now has a personal quote. If your favorite quote is missing, feel free to add it in. Simply take the following, and add the quote you want to the character page you want:



Quote
|text = "INSERT THE QUOTE YOU WANT HERE" - INSERT THE NAME OF THE PERSON YOU WANT HERE! INSERT A DESCRIPTION HERE in Chapter Number - Chapter Title



I am leaving off the brackets to start and end the template. So when you are done make sure you add a [ to the beginning of "template" at the top of the quote and a ] at the very end of "/template" to complete the box. If you have any issues, or questions feel free to ask in this thread

I had an abject failure of an evening trying to create the homepage. I tried to make something that looked like this:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/5447571700_ea17f255b0.jpg

But in reality I created a jumble of nonsensical code that made my head hurt. I yield the floor to anybody else who wants to take a shot.

I've started working on it yesterday, and as you can see we're getting closer to a finished main Wiki page. This post is mostly informing those interested on what's happening and what's to come :)

One of the next steps is adding artwork to each item, that will appear in the grey squares above each label. The code for this is pretty much done, so once the art is ready I can place it within minutes.
Then, and this is mostly polishing, the hexcodes (colors) have to be replaced with ones that fit the color scheme on the forums. Also, I'll need to think of something to keep it looking good on a mobile browser. I tried visiting with my phone, and while it worked just fine, all items were stacked above each other because of the limited width (You can simulate this my resizing your browser and reducing the horizontal size of the window, to see what I mean).
This causes a big black area to appear above the background image, because the background image is aligned at the bottom of the 'wrapper' (to always keep the hands in view, giving a nice effect on full pc's). The only solution I've come up with so far is adding a subtle gradient to a gray at the top, that'll ease the transition from the background color to the clouds in the background image (you may not see the clouds on a full pc because of the alignment of the background image, but you will on the full version (http://feed.zombiepodcast.com/cptcapslock/WikiBackdrop.jpg)).

Altogether it shouldn't be too long before it's finished.

CREW VER 2 TEMPLATE UP AND RUNNING!

I updated my own first:
http://zombiepodcast.com/forum/showwiki.php?title=Kc+Wayland

The template is Crew 2. I was able to find some extra breaks in the lines and remove them as well from this one AND Actor2 template. This removed that awful gap at the top of every Cast and crew profile. Crew 2 is essentially the same thing as the Actor one, but it has different labels. Be sure to use the correct one depending on which profile you are on.

[nikvoodoo]

Can I just say that when I saw that you nicknamed Bixby "Shovelface" I nearly died laughing?

[Kc]

Can I just say that when I saw that you nicknamed Bixby "Shovelface" I nearly died laughing?
The entire cast did too. It just seemed to fit so well.

[Kc]

Wiki bar has been updated and running like a champ!

I had to do some crazy (I think visual basic) scripting, or hybrid php. Whatever~ It works, I think. If you see any code that's off, please let me know.
BUT more importantly, everything is linking and navigating now! Please update where you can. Once we get this all cleaned up, I will release the MAP OF WE"RE ALIVE!

Yea, that's PHP being parsed from the xHTML by vBulletin.
I've scanned trough it, and it looks fine. I may have missed something though.

Kc, Is there any wiki info for Amy yet?

[Kc]

Not, go ahead and post her as well. The actress's name is Katie Keane.

OK! Updated entry for:

Scott Charles Marvin

Birthday: November 22, 1964
Height: 6’ 3”
Hometown: Grand Ledge, Michigan (outside Lansing – the Capital); Current city: Huntington Beach, CA
Primary Website: Under development
Twitter: Defined – What happens to my nethers every time I see Jessica Alba. (Gurgle)
Facebook Site: Scott Charles Marvin
Bio: (Any background info you wish to share)
Proud single-parent of three fine, strapping lads, Nicolai, Maxwell and Roman. Regarding myself, I hatched under a heat lamp by two fine parents Bud and Carol Marvin across from a corn-field in Grand Ledge, Michigan. Three sisters. No brothers. With no other boys around, my best friends were books, radio, music album collecting, three-channels of television stations featuring Saturday morning cartoons and cheesy television programs. As adolescence set in and my voice changed, I began imitating voices, drawing caricatures, and reading comic books (largely Marvel Universe). By High School became the designated Growingly Exclusive and Eerie Kid (GEEK) and was drawn into involved in Art studies (drawing, painting, cartooning) and performed in stage musicals (documented to dance like Mick Jagger).
Studied broadcasting, advanced brewed hops-consumption and local rock-band groupie-ism at Lansing Community College before embarking on a 20+ year career in the Army with service in Infantry, Journalism (print) and Radio / Television broadcasting with tours in Panama, Germany, Korea, Italy, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iraq (II). Received several Keith L. Ware awards (broadcast awards) for Radio Spot Announcement productions (writing, directing, producing) and earned Bronze Star Medal for service in Iraq (2003-2004).
Completed Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies and Master of Arts in Elementary Teacher Education (with California Teaching credential). Currently act as Mentor for other Master’s students enrolled in the same program. Self with background in artistic expression in all mediums to include journalism, creative writing, children's literature, graphic design, photography, videographer, audio production, music, voice-over artistry, radio / television announcing, acting, acting-up, stand-up comedy (while sitting down), church choir member, Sunday School leader and planning an additional degree work in Psychology and Educational studies. God is best.
Fun fact:
1. Father refused to pay for Art College (rumored, no money in Art) and encouraged broadcasting to foster interest in media.
2. Three sets of twins in family (My younger two kid sisters = twins. One of these twins had twin girls in 1997. My two youngest boys are twins born in 1998).
3. Improvised comedy for 20 minutes in Balad, Iraq (set on Baghdad International Airport) in January 2004 to appease a crowd of a few hundred American service members collected in a dilapidated plane hangar on the base. This secret gathering was organized by the USO to welcome sports and media celebrities to include comic…Robin Williams. Their plane circled high above the hanger awaiting a break in enemy presence to land. After a lengthy delay, Robin hit the stage. I handed him a cold near beer. Obviously he was really outrageous, funny and nice guy.
4. Wrote, produced and voiced an award-winning spot called the Pinocchio Letters with legendary TV news anchor, Dan Rather, during his visit to the American Forces Network Iraq. Used his very first take of the script read. What a pro.
Stories from the Set of We're Alive:
Find the cast and crew professional but many allowable for playful goofing during recording sessions. Jim Gleason, Shane Saulk and Blaire Byhower memorably animated at times. Nate Geeze can cut it up too but absent for many moons during season two. Zaniness especially ensures as physical interactions required (lifting up another actor, pushing, pulling) for realism in voicing a scene. Director Kc is very good-natured, patient and able to throw a few comedic barbs from the control-room while still trying to maintain overall sense of control and…direction.
Filmography: (Past films, audio jobs, stage work, etc.. that you want to feature on the site)
Many years experience working with Armed Forces Network Affiliate stations (American Forces Network) at locations around the globe, produced award-winning spot announcements (commercials), and several avant garde video shorts.

Sorry I'm falling so behind on wiki pages, I'm in the middle of load in and tech week for my show in New York. I might have time tonight to update the new information and change over the crew pages to the 2nd template....with any luck we get everything up in the air, cabled and functioning in time for me to like....do something not theater related.

[nikvoodoo]

Crew page changeover is complete!

[Kc]

Are there any Wiki keywords you would like to remove? "Hope" is on the top of my list. There's too many uses of that word.

[cPT.cAPSLOCK]

Change the page's title into 'Hope (character)' and it should be fine.

[Kc]

I added Hope into the excluded words list and it hasn't taken effect yet... odd.

Correction! It did now! I guess all the old mentions of HOPE are there to stay for a bit.

[mascaria]

Going in for whole story listen through #6. (whoa!)

This time I'll be updating chapter and character pages with quotes. <3

[nikvoodoo]

TKD Sniper came up with a couple more great survival tools, but originally named the wiki article Alcohol Based Deterrents. That page still exists, but we've both broken off and made more specific pages (Cologne/Perfume, and Alcohol). If we delete the original Alcohol Based Deterrents article, that shouldn't create a mess, right? I fear deleting anything off the wiki just in case, but now that we have those two specific pages, it doesn't seem necessary to have the original.

[TKD SNIPER]

Hey, is there anything i can do to help? Im not extremely skilled but i can follow instructions and I wouldn't mind doing work people dread so long as i get a 10 second demo or a template.

[nikvoodoo]

I know we were looking for some quotes for the Episodes pages. It's really simple. Easiest way to insert a quote is to highlight the existing quote (usually the one from Michael in chapter 1), copy it including the template and close template tags, paste it and then insert the new quote and attribute it to the appropriate person. If it's an exchange, I usually separated them with / marks so like: "Just think of me as a doctor"/"You're a doctor?"/"No I just said to think of me as one" Gatekeeper/Kelly. I think I've been the only one to put an exchange into the wiki like that, so if there's a preference on how that should look, someone can correct me. You can put little descriptions if the quote really needs one, but usually the good ones stand alone.

[TKD SNIPER]

Ok thanks, ill give it a shot!

[mascaria]

Just a note about the quotes.
I'm going through and added some more and also editing the ones that are currently in place. When you're adding a quote to a chapter page there's no need to state that the chapter quotes are in since... they're on the chapter page.
So putting like - [ wiki ]Michael[ /wiki ] in [ wiki ]1 - It Begins[ /wiki ] is kind of superfluous since you're already on the Chapter 1 page. For the individual character quotes though, absolutely leave in the chapter designation.

And for the sake of consistency (I love consistency) some quotes have context in the description. An example: Somebody here sold us out, I know it..." - Michael just before the confrontation with the Mallers in 12 - The War. I like the addition of context but would like to see that across the board then. Thoughts?

[rolsskk]

Every time I try to upload a new picture, I get this error:

They're exactly the same, I have no clue why it's telling me that.

How are you trying to upload the picture? Web address? Attaching the picture? What article are you trying to modify?

I was copying what I saw on other Wiki pages at the time so I know I'm guilty for some of those on the character pages. And as for your question goes I like simplicity as much as I like consistency.

[rolsskk]

How are you trying to upload the picture? Web address? Attaching the picture? What article are you trying to modify?
I'm stuck with uploading it from the web, because the uploader won't let me pull it from my computer. I did verify that the uploaded filename remained the same as the file. Some of the wikis that I'd tried updating were the CB Radio and the M16. In addition to that, how would I replace an existing photo, like the one for the SAW? That configuration is definitely not the one that's being used in the show.

Much like the tech support person who asks if you've plugged in your computer: did you find the address for just the picture and not the picture off it's home site? Did you right click and view image so it's the only thing on the screen? That's the address you want. I've never seen that error any time I've been working on the wiki, so I'm at a loss as to why it would be happening.

As for replacing, I'd leave the existing photo up, and add yours to the page. There can be multiple images of the same thing on the wiki pages, especially when you're talking about the equipment.

Yes, I know how to do that, and yes, that is the specific image - I know you have to ask, but I'm no stranger to computers or the internet (my first computer was an Apple ][E).

Edit/Update: It's now working. . .

[nikvoodoo]

Well now I know so I won't ask the dumb/insulting question of you anymore.

[rolsskk]

No worries, you wouldn't know unless you had asked.

[nikvoodoo]

I saw you put a new m16 image in the discussion section of the m16 article. is that the image that was giving you problems?

Can you post its address here? I'll give it a whirl and see if I get the same error message.

That wasn't it, it was a picture of the M249 SAW. What I was doing with the M16 was pretty much trying to figure out how to properly attach it - but now I've got it figured out.

[Private Parts]

Hi folks I dont know if this has been covered but can you or how do you create new wiki pages? I was looking at making a page for the MRE's and other things which i cant remember off the top of my head.

Thanks in advance,

Parts zom:(

[nikvoodoo]

Very simple to do.

To start, you can either find the template for the page you want to create in the templates section (highlight all, copy, and then paste into the new article), or go to a similar page (for instance MRE's page should be similar to liquor), go to the "Edit" tab, highlight all, copy and then paste that into a new article.

Once you've created the new article, fill out the appropriate information, create any new headings and what not using BB code, insert pictures etc etc. The most important thing to do, is at the bottom where it says category. Make sure that is filled out or else you'll create an "orphaned" page that won't link to any particular sections of the wiki. For the MRE, you want to make sure that the Code reads: [ category ] Survival Gear [/category] (just remember to take the spaces out of the brackets or it won't register.

If you have any other questions: Post them in the Wiki Help Thread in Top News (http://zombiepodcast.com/forum/showthread.php?845-Wiki-help), which is also where I'm going to merge this post to. Happy Wiki creating!

Great, thanks for the help!

[GD_Elite]

Well there isn't anywhere to ask questions about what the best layout for pages might be, so I'm gonna post it here. After the season finale, I think the pages the tower and characters are going to need a revamp. I was wondering if anyone has ideas about the best way to do this.

It's tough because no-one really lives in the tower any more. So what is the best way to tackle that? And should Pippin be in that category or the Maller category?

Arthur LaMarche posted on the tower discussion about splitting that page into season one and season two to differentiate, and this might be a good way to do it for that page. But it is still awkward because we have the list of characters there. Maybe it is worth changing it to Former Occupants.

[nikvoodoo]

First of all, thank you for using the spoiler tags.

Second: I think we should keep it labeled as Tower residents until next season when they claim a new home at the very least. But there's also something to be said about keeping it labeled as the Tower residents. It's what we know them as. But lets wait until next season before we make that change. They may become nomads for all we know.

Pippin should be moved to the Mallers since we now know what we know.

I think instead of making an entirely new page for the Tower in Season 2, we should just create headlines within the Tower page itself and file the appropriate information under each one. Having two pages for the Tower by season seems like overkill.

[GD_Elite]

Yeh, thats what I meant about splitting the tower page. It's probably best to just have the information about the tower in season one, then a horizontal rule or something before season 2's information.

The bit that would annoy me would be the list of occupants on the tower page. I think it might look better if split into alive, dead and presumed dead sections. Having a massive list of probably dead red shirts there gets in the way of the actual important characters who are still alive. I think it worked when they were all united, but now that they are all split up it just seems weird having a 33 person long list there, without any order to it. Just my opinion though.

[nikvoodoo]

I like your plan about the Tower members GD. Lets go with that.

[GD_Elite]

I've reorganised the list of occupants on the tower page, so it would be nice if someone would check that. I might not have time to go through and listen to the full details to seperate season 1 and 2 for it for quite a while, so someone else can do that.

Oh and I've moved Pippin to the mallers on the Characters page

[rolsskk]

Is the ability to view revisions in the wiki, broken? I ask this, as I get this error:

You are trying to view a revision that does not belong to this page, or this page has no edits yet.
