Dissonance Radio - Admin Stuff Thread

On a related note, @Badgerdeluxe and @Mistersteve, I’m missing tracklistings for some of your older shows, which means on the website where we’d usually enter them they’re just blank (e.g. All Of Our Junk – Episode 8: We're Not Cowboys, Pam... We're Stuntmen - Dissonance Radio)

It’s optional so it’s fine to leave it as is, or otherwise feel free to send me the missing ones and I’ll add in

@suapth your show’s ready for Sunday. @LastAstronaut I’ll upload yours later today

I think I’ve been messing that up anyway as I’m putting a space in hip hop, which means it’s just counting the tag ‘hip’, which is distinctly not the case.

Will get old tracklist to you in a bit.

I think your show has hip written all over it.

Hip…replacement :joy:

I have a feeling everyone is going to tag their shows post-hardcore from this point on! It seems to ensure global success and riches beyond our imagination. I’m currently looking through a super yacht brochure.

20th in the black metal chart, yet the app tells me it’s only been played 4 times (and one of those was me!), I get the distinct impression there aren’t that many in the global black metal chart!

And in other news, our website is pretty much done!

We’ve got pages for each episode, the schedule of upcoming shows and then my favourite page which has a list of all the shows and a genre cloud: Shows and Genres - Dissonance Radio

Huge thanks to @Dr.Horatio.Wingspan for helping with the design and to @guntrip for helping clear some of the backlog of old shows that needed adding.

If anyone has ideas for things to add (e.g. we still could do with an about page when I’ve got the headspace for it) go for it! Happy to give people log ins as well if they want to do anything.

Great work everyone getting the site done!

By the way, when I followed that link, I got an insecure website warning because it’s using http, not https

However, if I visit https://dissonanceradio.com/ it’s all fine.

I’m not sure what’s been used to build it, but can you force HTTPS? Should be a simple security fix in theory…

@ma0sm I think that’s sorted now?

It is indeed, efficient work!

Great stuff folk who sorted this! Looks splendid. My only comment would be if whether the show labels over the images could move to top rather than bottom so they don’t overlap with with text from the show templates ? Not sure if that makes any sense, it’s only a detail anyway. As ever massive thanks for your dedication to this project!

Yeah I did think about that, it’s a little cluttered atm with the overlapping text. Might be able to muck about with the design to get it looking a bit tidier
