Adminship
Hey,
You've done as much or more work than any other contributor on this site. I know it's not much (basically just adds the delete privilege and gives you a badge of honor), but would you like to be an Administrator?
Thanks for all of your contributions, let me know,
-Sean Colombo 22:55, 9 July 2006 (PDT)
- Yeah, I'll be an admin. I haven't needed any admin functions yet, but I'm sure the day will come. It doesn't hurt to have a few admins around to serve request of other users.

Winamp Plugin
I think all we need is a trigger plugin for LyricGrabber, which opens LyricGrabber when Winamp is opened. You can take a look from here to the program: LyricWiki:Plugins. Stradicaster 04:39, 28 May 2006 (PDT)
- The NSDN has a SDK for winamp available here (look at the gen_tray plugin). Writing my plugin i couldn't find an event for track changes, rather i just polled the currently playing track number.
function winampmessage(todo : word) : integer; begin result := SendMessage(findWindow(PChar(WinampWindowClassName),nil),wm_user,WinampMessageData,todo); end;
If CurrentTrack<>winampmessage(125)
- I don't have code for retrieving any other data about the song, but I guess your program can do that. How does it do that? your probably already using the functions demonstrated in the SDK. Its possibly just a small step to poll winamp to detect track changes.
- I'd be happy to resurrect my code and write a plugin, but it might take me a few weeks to find enough time.

- I haven't got enough time my finals are really taking all my time. I changed my mind and released the not finished (for me) part. LyricWiki:Plugins --Stradicaster 08:20, 1 June 2006 (PDT)
Lyric Plugin
Hey there! Sorry it took so long, but I upgraded the wiki and added your extension in. It works amazingly! I bound the hook to both "lyric" and "lyrics" since I have a feeling people will mess that up on a regular basis. I'm thinking about having UberBot randomly go through the pages and switch them to use the <lyrics> tags, but until then, we can just use them when we create pages ourselves.
Thanks a ton for writing that extension; that thing was crazy-easy to install and works extremely well!
Thanks again,
-Sean Colombo 22:12, 30 May 2006 (PDT)
- Don't apologise mate, I hope you didn't feel I was rushing you, I just wanted to lend a hand.
- Can you add the changes you made to http://wiki.peacocktech.com/wiki/LyricExtension/Source_Code_Dev, so they don't get lost in future versions.
- I've been meaning to check with one of the UI experts here about the color of the lyric boxes. Something in the back of my mind says its not the best colour, I think some people have trouble reading it. I was trying to replicate the windows balloon pop-up color, just because i think it looks OK (just my opinion).

ParserFunctions extention
- I was told to talk to you about getting the ParserFunctions extention for MediaWiki installed. According to meta.wikipedia.org for 1.6.x the names of the functions (i.e. #if) need to be prepended with a '#' in the code.
- Also, it is not shown in that wiki right now, but in order to get the #if function working, the line that reads
if ( $test !== ) {
- needs to be changed to
if ( (string)$test !== ) {
- I would like this installed so that things like Template:Multiple Languages can be implemented.
- If this is not the correct place to put a request like this would you please let me know; I am rather new to working with wikis.
Your input?
Hi Trevor,
This has to be addressed eventually, and since you have put a ton of time into the site I thought you might like to give some input on the question of donations, etc.
Thanks,

On Buckethead
No, I've never see any lyrics for Buckethead songs, and when I put that on my Wikipedia page, I was thinking of a song he did with Serj Tankian of System of a Down called "We Are One". I can look for lyrics though. - Bagel7 09:12, 10 July 2006 (PDT)
- Heres what I found for the song I like by Buckethead. I'm not sure if it's right, but it's something:
"Sending a beating to go Send the battle the leaders is ready to roll Send the beating to home Send the battle the leaders are ready for war Well you know That we are one Sending a beating to go Send the battle the leaders is ready to roll Send the beating to home Send the battle the leaders are ready for war Well you know That we are one
Sending a beating to go Send the battle the leaders is ready to roll Send the beating to home Send the battle the leaders are ready for war Well you know That we are one We are one We are one Castrate , castrate all This campaign as hoping as you can never want anything as much as nobody thought you could!
Sending a beating to go I don’t want poison and everyone’s going crazy I need to find a way out of this place god damn hell help me no poison no please owww. Do I know who I am When I know who are you Demons know you try to Lights are walking all over you! Sending a beating The battle is ready to go Sending a beating The battle is ready to roll Sending a beating The battle is ready to roll Everybody is really ready to go"
i found it here - Bagel7 09:21, 10 July 2006 (PDT)
- Thanks for that. I thought it was worth asking, at least now we have one Buckethead song.

Your thoughts?
Hi, I'd like your thoughts on this (Google AdWords) if you get a second.
Thanks!

Lyric plugin question
Hi. Someone pointed out a weird error that I don't think started showing up until we upgraded to MediaWiki 1.7. It happens when there are multiple 'lyric' tags on the same page. I took a quick look at it, but I think you might be able to figure it out a lot better (I've never seen these UNIQ things show up before). See M83:Car_Chase_Terror for an example. Please let me know if you can figure out what is wrong or even have a suggestion for what I should try to mess with to get it working.
Thanks,
-Sean Colombo 23:59, 26 August 2006 (PDT)
- I've had the same problem with another plugin I have been writing, however in that instance upgrading to mediawiki 1.7.1 fixed the problem. It seems to be showing an artifact from the mediawiki rendering process.
- Anyways, works fine with 0.3 version, although its a while since I've touched it, I cant remember if it was stable. Have fixed problem in 0.2.1, should be good to go.
- The change was small, and I don't completely understand why there should be a difference. The problem is mentioned in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_extensions_FAQ , but it doesn't explain in enough detail the problem, or which versions it affects.
- Regardless, give 0.2.1 a go, should be fine now.
- --TrevorP 07:55, 27 August 2006 (PDT)
- I uploaded your new code and everything works great, thanks! Thanks for the links too, I think I see what caused it, I just don't understand why it wouldn't be legit to call the parser recursively... odd. Anyway, thanks again!

Song problem.
Hey I'm Mark Arandjus from the future and I just want to tell you I've solve the problem written about below ;) --Mark Arandjus 16:45, 18 January 2007 (EST)
Oi, I just joined and O'm very excited! Me guts acke from all that wikipedia warfare, this place looks like a fresh start and has sommin everyone loves: MUSIC!
Anyway I'll get me tongue out of yer arse, and get to the point eh ;)
Am a HUGE, COLOSSAL, NOFX fan, have everything, not everything like I have all the labums, I HAVE IT ALL, albums, singles, covers, live, ALL, been a fan since I was 11, anyway..
their live album http://www.lyricwiki.org/Nofx:I_Heard_They_Suck_Live_%281995%29 doesn not contain live versions (well I haven't checked them all, but defenetly some), wich is a shame as NOFX are known for editing their lyrics when live for ex.
Original song version Kicking ass Bustin heads
Live Kissing ass Giving head
So I wrote the live lyric (I also improved the studio version) http://www.lyricwiki.org/Kill_all_the_white_man_%28live%29 and I'm having trouble putting the link there, the code differs a bit for the Wikipedia one, still a n00b I guess, I think it may have something to do with the title; I think I put in ' (live)' instead of '_(live)' at the end.
Anyway could you look in to it? Thanks!
Anyway I hope to contribute A LOT in the duture as I listen to and know A LOT, and I mean A LOT of music. Woah! Not a lot of admins, I hope I can join one day and help out further, but I'll earn to walk before I run ;) --Mark Arandjus 15:24, 18 January 2007 (EST)
- Hi Mark, sorry, I haven't been keeping a close eye on the site of late. I see you've got your problem solved. I've also updated the link in Nofx:I Heard They Suck Live (1995), and removed the page Kill all the white man (live) (Nofx:Kill all the white man (live) is the correct name). Sorry for not being more attentive, best of luck.

Ad layouts
Hiya... If you have a sec, I started messing around with the possible Ad Layouts and could use some feedback.
I'm working on getting that extension up and running too :)
