Seems like this is causing some problems in the public songbooks. However I think (hope?) it is temporary...

There is no article about Chordie in Wikipedia. Shouldn't it be?
Anybody wanting to write an article and submit it to Wikipedia?

Re: Chordie Collapsing!! (6 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Its a feature, not a bug! Well, it was supposed to be a solution for a problem with the width of the song being to wide for small devices. However it turned out it caused tons of other problems...:-/
I changed it back again..

Yes, the songs are sorted in alphanumeric order on the song-pages. This is the correct order. I did not do this on the edit pages.

Re: Graphical artist pages (25 replies, posted in About Chordie)
I have verified the problem. It has something to do with albums starting with "The..". Sometimes Amazon has albums both listed as "The album" and "Album". The hack for trying to fix this has somehow messed up. For now: Hide the albums starting with "The...", and add your contributions to the other one.
I will try to fix this later today or tomorrow.

...and no documentation yet. Well, thats on my todo-list as well, but it is one of the things that seems to stay there...:)
In general my aim is however that you should be able to use the site without reading any documentation.
Tips for making it easier to use for first time users is always appreciated.

Re: Graphical artist pages (25 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Blue means it has been changed manually. I need to find a better way to show this. Any suggestions?
Yes, you can select the default song. One of the radio buttons should be pre-selected. It isnt. That is a bug I need to fix.
The songs should be added instantly, and it is available for everybody when you publish the song pages. Do however take care when adding external links. Only chopro-format is really supported. On other songs you might have to do a lot of editing.

Yes, it will then be possible to both change the main artist name, and add what I call an "alias".

However, both of these features are on my todo list.

Re: Graphical artist pages (25 replies, posted in About Chordie)
OK. Found the error. You will need to add some songs to your songbook before becoming an editor.
It is important that people are familiar with how Chordie works before starting to edit the artist pages. Just looking at the number of songs in peoples songbooks are not the most intelligent way of solving this problem, but it was the best I was able to come up with...
However... I also forgot to add an error message explaining why you were rejected..:)
This is fixed now. In your case, just add two more songs, and click "improve this page" again.
Thanks for working with me to fix this bug. And welcome as Chordie editor!

I made a couple of changes. Could you retry now?
Please start from the artist pages, and not from the links above.

Try following this link:

Does that give any meaningful info?

ScottClark,
This is most likely a bug. What artist did you click on?

The "Improve this page"-feature is now available to everybody. I think this is one of the coolest additions to Chordie ever.
I am not going into details. Just find your favorite artist, and click "Improve this page". Follow the instructions.
A lot of features will be built on top of this as well.

The first improved artist page is launched. Please check out Pink Floyd: http://www.chordie.com/song.php/songart … ndex.html.
This will be available for all artists later this week. I just need to be sure everything is stable first.
Tell me what you think!
Thanks a lot to Upyerkilt/Ken for doing the editing of Pink Floyd!

Re: Major upgrade coming soon - New artist pages (24 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Thanks to all that has volunteered. I now have enough people to test this.
So far the beta-testing is going great. No major setbacks. If everything goes fine, we should be able to show people what this is all about in 2-3 days. Shortly after I will also open up for other editors.

Ok, here comes the feedback!
been to the Stereophonics artist page and logged in ok, graphics are all nice, very comprehensive. Some of the songs don't appear to have been found by chordie as they have slight differences in spelling or have extra bits in the title such as (live acoustic) for example.
I 'added' a couple of songs by going to the external website (ultimate guitar.com) copying and pasting the link to the relevant box on the editor page. I did get a message to say that i had submitted a link with an error but after my pc crashed (fatally), I formatted and set my pc back up and now the link appears active.
All in all, it seems fairly easy to figure out and looks great! The track/album lists are extremely comprehensive (maybe a little too comprehensive!) but look forward to seeing more pages like it!
Cheers,
Bonedaddy
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, it does not find all the songs - and there needs to be some manual editing.
Chordie cant handle all external songs. It is always safest to add songs that are already indexed by Chordie.
Note that you can "hide" albums. No reason to list a "Japanese version" or three albums in a collection etc. I leave it to the editors to hide irrelevant albums (albums with no recognized songs will be automatically hidden)
At the moment you cant rename albums and songs. I might add that later if it is required.
When you are satisfied with the Stereophonics page, give me a hint. Ill look through it, and we might publish it so that others can see what this is about.
