Talk:Main Page

Javascript

I was thinking about a link to the chat on the front page. Included in this I wanted a javascript to show random quotes that have come from the chat room. Is this possible in the wiki? (I can post the script if you need me to). Also should/can we embed the chatroom on a page so it has a pilkipedia address?--Knockinabout 18:42, 1 April 2008 (BST)

i think the link is an excellent idea. and i don't understand anything else about what you've asked.  :) hopefully nigel does. Steve is King 23:27, 1 April 2008 (BST)

Tried to tidy the poster blurb. It looks good on a widescreen monitor but the big white space is still there on a square monitor.--WikiSysop 18:59, 2 April 2008 (BST)

Square monitor? People still have those? Losers.

Looks swish. Justjoe4life 19:12, 2 April 2008 (BST)

Here's an example of the random quote generator: http://short.bus.tripod.com/ The white text on that website will change when you refresh it. Here's the script that was used. Wiki-able? Or not worth the bother?

<script language="JavaScript">
var quotenumber = 8 ;
var randomnumber = Math.random() ;
var rand1 = Math.round( (quotenumber-1) * randomnumber) + 1 ;
quotes = new Array
quotes[1] = "dyslexics of the world, UNTIE"
quotes[2] = "how to make a living off of ignorant assumptions"
quotes[3] = "if you are fat, for the love of god DON'T WEAR A BELLY SHIRT"
quotes[4] = "home of king biscuit"
quotes[5] = "whip terrorism!"
quotes[6] = "beware"
quotes[7] = "that's not funny, corey"
var quote = quotes[rand1]
</script>

^ maybe PM Nigel directly about this? SiK

cartoon/main page changes

thoughts on whether we should add the pilkington files latest cartoons to the main page, with owen's permission of course. it might involve moving some things around to have it fit nicely though .. etc. input please? Steve is King 12:17, 18 April 2008 (BST)

Sounds good. As long as we do it on Owen's terms and provide the links he would like, I think we should. I don't think archiving them here is necessarily a good idea, unless Owen supports it. In addition, I think the main page is in need of rearranging... perhaps with expandable menus, so there's no scrolling involved.--Knockinabout 15:49, 18 April 2008 (BST)

• KA, i'd be very interested in your thoughts and i'll bet Nigel would too ..... could you play around in the sandbox with some ideas? Steve is King 02:24, 20 April 2008 (BST)

Anyone else in favour of putting a link to the FAQ on the front page, the only current link to it is on a random episode page. Maybe it could go next to the Chat/Shop/Forum links at the top and be expanded. SH 00:20, 05 May 2008
