Template talk:From Bildindex

Filename extension with 'a' does not work anymore

As Bildindex changed its website functionality the fname Parameter of the Template From Bildindex, which automatically adds an "a" to the filename, produces a dead filelink ("404 not found"). Example: Bildindex der Kunst und Architektur: object 00000001 – image file fm192356a.jpg

Manual solution: Add the noext=yes Parameter. Example: Bildindex der Kunst und Architektur: object 00000001 – image file fm192356 (JPEG file without extension) However this would need to changes thousands of image files using the template!

A better solution would be to change the template in that way, that the "noext=yes" Option is always used and is the new standard. HeinrichStuerzl (talk) 14:40, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

It works for me: http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/fm192356a.jpg which is the link produced by the template (at time of writing) is redirected to https://previous.bildindex.de/bilder/fm192356a.jpg here. Nethertheless I think you are right that some work for the template is necessary. I will look at this, but do not want to promise, how fast this will happen. — Speravir – 23:38, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

For me it does not work. I do not see this redirection. No idea why. - HeinrichStuerzl (talk) 05:47, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

But the previous… link does work, Heinrich? BTW also the link for noext=yes is a redirect: The template produces in the moment http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/d/fm192356, but the result is another link to the previous-subdomain, i.e. https://previous.bildindex.de/bilder/d/fm192356 – or do you get another link? — Speravir – 22:55, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes, the previous... link works. The link for noext=yes works fine like the previous... link but remains as it is i.e. https://www.bildindex.de/bilder/d/fm192356. So I do not see the previous... link which is new for me. - HeinrichStuerzl (talk) 20:47, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Very strange, this different behaviour. — Speravir – 23:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

I’ve now updated some links. Speaking of the template needing some revision: I just noticed that the parameter phnr does not work at all anymore! And this cannot be fixed by a bot. . — Speravir – 23:35, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Great, the redirection works now for fm192356a.jpg! So my problem is solved :-) The noext=yes behaviour remains the same which is quite OK for me because I would not need this option. Thands for your support! - HeinrichStuerzl (talk) 16:19, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Normally I would not use the phnr option. - HeinrichStuerzl (talk) 16:21, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

My remark regarding phnr was not meant in reaction to you. I simply discovered it while investigating the links. (The design at Bildindex has been changed years ago, and the feature with links to a distinctive photo number must have gone then, too. Strange, that noone has ever complained about this.) — Speravir – 00:25, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
