Mistakes

[edit]

I don't know why, but sometimes this template goes to the wrong page at Lortel; see examples 1 & 2 below. goes to. On the other hand, it works for others; see examples 3 & 4.

iobdb ID Code Use Resulting theatre Resulting ID
175 {{iobdb venue|175|45th Street Theatre}} 45th Street Theatre at the Internet Off-Broadway Database NYFA Stage 100
309 {{iobdb venue|309|Davenport Theatre}} Davenport Theatre at the Internet Off-Broadway Database Downstairs at the Upstairs 217
243 {{iobdb venue|243|Westside Theatre – Upstairs}} Westside Theatre – Upstairs at the Internet Off-Broadway Database Westside Theatre (Upstairs) 154
70 {{iobdb venue|70|Westside Theatre – Downstairs}} Westside Theatre – Downstairs at the Internet Off-Broadway Database Westside Theatre (Downstairs) 34

I guess that Lortel changed their scheme from

http://www.lortel.org/LLA_archive/index.cfm?search_by=theater&id={{{id}}}

to

http://www.lortel.org/Archives/Theatre/{{{id}}}

and not all pages are properly redirected. I have no idea how this can be fixed here, except by adding a new parameter, say |id2=, which is taken from their current scheme and then use the current, simpler, URL scheme. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:21, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Broken?

[edit]

I think this template might be broken. I found it wasn't working for Minetta Lane Theatre when editing that article, but it doesn't seem to work for the examples given here either - they all redirect to Theatre rental. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:03, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, they changed their base URL scheme. I've updated the template to match. Thank goodness they kept the numbering system, though! Primefac (talk) 11:22, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for fixing it so promptly. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:26, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
