== Ads at Hangarbay? ==
== Request ==
If you get a chance, I'd like to get the ads going at the hangarbay. I'm willing to do the gruntwork, but I'm not sure how it's accomplished. I found the adbrite javascript here at en, but it appears to be buried in javascript and I can't find a wiki page that it runs off of. I'd like to try adorning the hangarbay with all the different possible ad locations and orientations. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:17, 8 January 2007 (CST)

::FTP is needed. The files to be needed to change are the skin templates. I have an <code>Adbrite.php</code> file created, but I need the new zone codes and need to add the switches in for the size of the ad. I'll do that this evening and then send you guys FTP access for the HB.

==JavaScript question==
Hello.  
Hi Shane. Thanks again for the userpage template. Now for my question ... I have a simple JavaScript to display a random quote, it's [[User:JubalHarshaw/bsgbook.js/quotes.js|here]]. Is there any way I can use it on my userpage, have my userpage "call" out to it and display the output (the quote) ?  Thanks for any explanation and assistance you can give me. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 10:18, 11 January 2007 (CST)
:[[User:JubalHarshaw/bsgbook.js]] - needs to be created and then you gotta install some hooks. Check out my [[User:Shane/bsgbook.js|javascript]] files for some insight. default.js and tabs.js are your best bet. [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 13:47, 11 January 2007 (CST)
Thanks for the pointers. My programming skill is minimal, so it'll probably take me awhile to figure out. It was just something for my own amusement anyway. Cheers. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 07:51, 12 January 2007 (CST)

== Thanks for the warm welcome ==
I come to you because I need your help. I started to update the french part of the wiki, to translate various pages from the english one, to import templates the french wiki didn't use yet etc etc. I noticed you were looking for somebody to manage the french wiki. I do not exactly know what it'd be about, but let's say I'm quite interested in this.


Just wanted to say thanks for the warm welcome ;) Though i really must say i envy you for that monitor of yours ;) --[[User:Destotelhorus|Destotelhorus]] 01:04, 13 January 2007 (CST)
The reason of my message is simple. I updated the Episode List (not the template, only the wikipage) and had to do some modifications, involving accents, missing or useless capital letters, and special letters. I think i'm done, however these modifications broke several links to episode pages.


== RFB templates ==
I know it is possible to hide them on screen, but that would not be quite clean, that's why I tried to rename the pages who needed it... unsuccessfully, since I'm not allowed to do it. Could you please grant me the correct permissions, so that I could rename the pages with a correct typography ? Afterwoods, when there is no more broken links on the "episode list" wiki page, I shall update de "episode list" template page, and the episode infoboxes.
