Hitchhiker Characters

On this page we explore a new method of how we script the creation of a page that lists a number of audio files in an assets folder, and make it easy to transribe these into wiki pages.

# Create Audio Folder In the assets folder of transcript.thought.garden create a folder and then download all the audio files you wish to transcribe.

The folder should be named page-slug style (low case and hyphenated). Then name the audio files memorably. Finally list them using the about assets plugin as below:

# Create if Missing

The Create if Missing microservice that looks at a folder of (ogg) audio files and loops through them looking for wiki-pages that do not exist.

It uses the names of the audio files to derive the correspnding name of the wiki-page - simply by removing the file suffix.

Ford Prefect.ogg => Ford Prefect

Here is the button:

In this way if new audio files are added to this folder, clicking on the button above will list all the new pages that need to be created corresponding to the new audio files.
