Chaps,
 
 
Courtesy of Ben's relentless effort and David's installation of the required software, The Wiki Crew proudly present the latest instalment of Wiki goodness: SRDB2BBCode.
 
 
What is it?
 
SRDB2BBCode is a piece of code which Ben put into the Straight Razor Data Base. In addition to producing the regular SRDB article for a razor, the code now additionally outputs BBCcode (Bulletin Board Code or BBCode is a lightweight markup language used to format posts in this forum) which you can use in a forum post.
 
 
Why would you want to use it?
 
We have made the addition of razors to the SRDB as simple as possible. On average, it takes 2-3 minutes to add a razor with all its specifications, and an image. Apart from doing the SRP community a favour, the article will also allow to quickly reference a razor. There are two ways how you can do that. Like before, you can reference your razor via a direct link like this one: http://straightrazorplace.com/srpwiki/index.php/Deutsch%2C_Otto_%22Hans%22. With the new SRDB2BBCode, you can also quickly insert a table with the razor's specifications like this:
 
 
[table=head]Fields|Data
 
Manufacturer| Deutsch, Otto
 
Region| Germany
 
Date| 1930's (?)
 
Size| 6/8
 
Point| Spike
 
Shoulder| 2 stabilizers
 
Jimps| Upper
 
Scales| Plastic
 
Steel| Carbon
 
 
[/table]
 
We believe this will be useful in the Classifieds, and possibly also in the razor clubs forum.
 
 
How do you use it?
 
Three simple steps:
 
 
  1. Open the SRDB article in your webbrowser.
 
  2. Mark, and copy the code in the upper right hand corner (see screenshot).
 
  3. Paste into the forum editor field.
 
 
That's all. Enjoy!
