Can you post the url-link of your article. I don't see anything from you. I have priviledge to see composing status articles(if I know the URL). I will tell you if I find anything.

This will only happen if you submit to an article submission site that manually reviews all submissions. The only reason why it is pending is because it is still in queue. You just need to wait. If you have a paid membership, or if you are an author under expert status, then you can expect your articles to be reviewed right away.
Hope this helps.

I need a place to publish an article about problems in development in fed shops. Suggestions?
|
|
|
|
|
I would start by reading the guidelines[^] on article submission. Then look for an appropriate section/subsection and post your article either via the wizard (and await peer review and comments) or use the email submission process whereby the article goes direct to one of the editors.
It's time for a new signature.

If it's a short article as you say... might be posting it as a Tip/Trick [^]would do.

possible plagiarism resulting in 'article of the month' Dead
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3540229/Your-articles-code-closely-matches-this-which-was-.aspx
How does one report "suspicious" articles on this site?
|
|
|
|
|
There used to be a "Report this article" widget below the article; it has been replaced by a red flag icon on top of the article now. Click it and you'll get some questions to answer, one of them asks for the reason to report, and one suggested answer is "plagiarism".

Hi everyone,
I have submitted an article on CP (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/BSOD_Blue_Screen_Of_Death.aspx). For me it's showing the state as composing & for others, it's not visible.
This state is since 9th July when I uploaded the article.
Shall I wait for some more time or I am missing something?
Kindly suggest.

You had your article set as 'composing' meaning you weren't finished. I moved it to 'pending' and it should be apporved very soon

It's still showing the state as "Composing", and I am not able to view if I check this after logging out.

Dear Mr. Chris,
My article is still in the composing state and I am not able to view if I signout from CodeProject.
Although I got mail that my article is posted on CP.
Kindly check and update.

I wrote a RTF document constructor library in C# almost a year ago. I planned to post an article but never had the time and, in fact, I got bored of writing the library itself. The point was creating reports with clean formatted tables, and I could find no free solutions capable of that.
I'm sorry for being too lazy to write even a good example. But here is something to look at:
private RtfDocument rtf = new RtfDocument(RtfCodePage.Windows1251);
private static RtfFont DefaultFont = new RtfFont("Times New Roman", RtfCharacterSet.Russian, RtfFontFamily.Roman, RtfFontPitch.Variable);
private static RtfParagraphFormatting
Centered12 = new RtfParagraphFormatting(RtfLanguage.Russian, 12F, RtfTextAlign.Center),
LeftAligned12 = new RtfParagraphFormatting(RtfLanguage.Russian),
Centered10 = new RtfParagraphFormatting(RtfLanguage.Russian, 10F, RtfTextAlign.Center);
private static RtfTableCellStyle
LeftAligned12NoBorder = new RtfTableCellStyle(RtfBorderSetting.None, LeftAligned12),
Centered12NoBorder = new RtfTableCellStyle(RtfBorderSetting.None, Centered12),
Centered10AllBordersVertical = new RtfTableCellStyle(RtfBorderSetting.All, Centered10, RtfTableCellVerticalAlign.Center, RtfTableCellTextFlow.LeftToRightBottomToTop);
public RtfExample()
{
RtfFormattedParagraph
empty = new RtfFormattedParagraph(LeftAligned12),
p1fp1 = new RtfFormattedParagraph(Centered12),
p2fp1 = new RtfFormattedParagraph(LeftAligned12);
RtfTableRow
p1tr1 = new RtfTableRow(RtfTableAlign.Center);
rtf.DefaultLanguage = RtfLanguage.Russian;
rtf.FontTable.Add(DefaultFont);
empty.IsFormattingIncluded = false;
empty.AppendParagraph();
p1tr1.Cells.AddRange(new RtfTableCell[] {
new RtfTableCell(5.5F, "A table cell", Centered12NoBorder),
new RtfTableCell(8.75F, "Another table cell", Centered12NoBorder),
});
p1fp1.AppendParagraph(new RtfFormattedText("Sort of header", RtfCharacterFormatting.Bold));
p1fp1.AppendParagraph();
p1fp1.AppendParagraph();
p2fp1.AppendParagraph("Paragraph text");
p2fp1.AppendParagraph();
rtf.Contents.AddRange(new IRtfDocumentPart[] {
p1fp1,
p1tr1,
new RtfPageBreak(),
p2fp1,
empty,
});
}
The conversion to RTF is made using Reflection as the classes have attributes with RTF control words, so the library can be easily expanded (I did not implement the complete RTF Specification). Classes are well documented and self-explanatory.
public class RtfBorder
{
[RtfControlWord("brdrw")]
public int Width = 10;
[RtfControlWord]
public RtfBorderStyle Style = RtfBorderStyle.SingleThicknessBorder;
[RtfControlWord("brdrcf"), RtfIndex]
public int ColorIndex = -1;
public void SetProperties(float width, RtfBorderStyle style, int colorIndex)
{
Width = TwipConverter.ToTwip(width, MetricUnit.Point);
Style = style;
ColorIndex = colorIndex;
}
public void CopyTo(RtfBorder border)
{
border.Width = this.Width;
border.Style = this.Style;
border.ColorIndex = this.ColorIndex;
}
}
Please contact me if you are interested in writing an article about the library or just want to have the source.

Hi KPEBEDKO,
imho you might consider posting this code, along with a brief summary statement, on 'Tips and Tricks' ? I'm sure some people would find it valuable.
best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

Thank you, Bill. You encouraged me to write the article.

I have an article I wrote years ago, Painting Your Own Tabs[^] which has quite a following, with fixes posted by users etc, so I don't want to kill off the thread.
However, I have since rewritten the code from the ground up, much better, fixing bugs and adding new functionality.
My choices are:
1. Totally, re-write my original article, for the revised code.
2. Add all the revised code change details as a new section at the bottom (or top?) of the article. With the revised code, additional pictures, new coding tips, etc.
3. Post a new article, and change the old one to link to The new Version.
What is the recommend practice?
|

If I had an article that would need a serious rewrite (say over 30% gets changed), then I would:
- create a new article,
- choose a similar/same title and add "take 2", "reworked", "revisited", or so to it
- copy all existing material that is still useful into it (maybe add a "copied" note to each chapter),
- add/modify whatever needs being changed (maybe add a "new"/"modified" note to each new chapter),
- start the introduction with "this is a extended and reworked version of my old article [here]"
- add acknowledgments to all people who made helpful comments on the original article.
And on the existing, old article I would add a "a newer article is available [here]" note in the introduction, and a similar message in its forum.
Doing it that way, nobody is forced to read both articles to understand the current situation, and nobody will accidentally read the old one without being aware of the newer one.

Thanks Luc.
Time to get my article writing hat out.
|

I've updated the source code for an old (8+years) C++ article to current compilers and even fixed a bug or two.
I can submit it as a new article, referring back to the old one, or I can contact the original author and see if he's willing to update his original article.
Is there a way to contact the original author without sending an "I've got updated code" message to everyone (I don't want to send the code to anyone until the original author has had the chance to see it).
|

Did you try the forum under the article? When you create a "new message" there, an e-mail will be sent to the article's author, who may or may not receive it (the e-mail address may be stale), still be interested in CP, react, etc.
BTW: you could see his recent CP activity by watching his profile page (e.g. reputation graph).
|
|
|
|
|
ok, thanks, as I mentioned I'd hoped to avoid doing this in a public forum because I wanted the original author to get a chance to express an opinion before anyone else. The public approach will work though, so I'll just use that.
|
|
|
|

you can leave a message, without too much detail nor code, allowing him to answer in general, possibly enabling a private e-mail reply (as can you, right away, by checking "Allow private email replies to this message" below your message).
|
|
|
|
|
Yep, that's pretty much what I did, I didn't elect "allow private e-mail replies" because I didn't know whether that would expose my e-mail address to anyone who might read my posting.
There seems to be no private way to initiate a conversation, one or other of us must publicly provide a means for anyone to contact us via e-mail (via "allow private e-mail replies" or simply publishing a mail address).
Not that I expect a flood of replies, I'm just the cautious type.
Anyway, I'll wait a few days and see what happens.
Thanks for your advice.
|
|
|
|
|
The "allow private e-mail replies" checkbox, when checked, adds an "Email" widget next to the "Reply" widget of the message, it never exposes an e-mail address, however it enables everyone to send you an e-mail message that will not show in the CodeProject site. See below my sig.

Hello,
I'm just trying to post my very first article, and I can't get the images to show up. I included them in the zip file I uploaded, along with the zip for the test project. The site successfully extracted the the test project zip (the download link on the article works fine), but it didn't seem to pull out the images with it.
The article hasn't been approved yet, but will (hopefully) appear at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/SavingTheStateOfAForm.aspx[^], so I assumed from the info that I was supposed to use SavingTheStateOfAForm/imagename.gif in the <img> tag. This didn't work, and nor did anything else I tried.
Anyone know how I get my images to show? Thanks
