FamilySearch Wiki:Technical Meeting Agenda 07 December 2010: Difference between revisions

*& - 578 hits as of this writing. There are 578 pages with this horrible old line simliar to - http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=187462&disp=The+history+of+Maryland%20%20 (this one is quickly converted to {{FHL|187462|item}}.) It would be extra better if the template is edited to delete "Collection" and change displayed "FHL Collection" to "FHLC" which will solve the problem with usage of template in the tables.

*:This issue has been outstanding for some time. There is a forum thread [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=1089 "amp,amp,amp,amp,amp" problem] about it and it was logged in the Research Wiki Dev Backlog as [https://issues.devnet.familysearch.org/issues/214 Bug #214]. Reviewing Bug #214 again reminded me that [http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/2544 a potential fix] has been found, but the community has never heard back, whether it works or not or even if it has been tested in the Research Wiki. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 20:50, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

*Question for Cottrell and Lerman: Is it possible to create template for Google Books based on this: http://books.google.com/books?id=VMULAAAAYAAJ with the last part being the Identity code for specific book? I checked and spotted the change from recent ones. [[User:Dsammy|Dsammy]] 17:58, 7 December 2010 (UTC)  

*:I would suggest that we use the ISBN linking feature of Google Books described in the help article [http://books.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=80658 How can I link to a specific title on Google Books?]. What do you think the link should look like? --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 20:43, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

::One problem, not all old pre 1923 have ISBN at all. And as for template title - "Google Books". [[User:Dsammy|Dsammy]] 20:59, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
