Hi Sharma,

A number of our users have made suggestions on how to improve your article. Gold level Code Project members or higher have the ability to approve your article. So on your article's forum, you can reply to the comments already made, and ask the users if you feel your article is ready for publishing, or what you can do to improve it further.

If you need to make more changes I'd be happy to change your article back to composing status, or if the users simply recommend fixing the formatting, I'll gladly help you with that too.

Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Hi,

Would this be a suitable place to publish an article on Windows Deployment.

Basically, I have just finished working on how to deploy XP Pro across a network (using PXE, Win PE, etc.) without any user input. It was a bit of a pig to do, so I thought about writing an article for posterity, in case someone else has the same problem.

Would this be of interest here?

Moving Graphics in Articles

Hi all,

I'm working on an article which would benefit from having an animation to explain a concept. So does anybody know if it is possible to include moving graphics in an article? I was thinking maybe an animated gif or a flash video might do the job, but I'm not sure what an article can contain?

Thanks,
Chris

Sadly you cannot currently embed a flash video in an article. What you could do is to have a link to a YouTube video. We have tried many formats that would be secure and cost-effective and while we are still thinking of better ways, this is our temporary "fix."

Security concerns do seem to stop these sorts of developments... Is it possible to embed a YouTube video on the page without people needing to leave CP to go and watch it?

Thanks,
Chris

Nope

Unless there is a way to embed YouTube videos without the <object> tag

Not to my knowledge. Not to worry then. I don't know if you have looked at SMIL[^] at all, but it might be worth considering? It should allow simple videos while being more secure then Flash...

Anyway, thanks for the help!

If your article has gone through the editor process, you can't modify the original text. What you need to do is send your updates through to the CP team (along with details of the article that they relate to), and they update it for you.

What happens when some user votes 1

Fredrik Bornander has written a very very interesting article and code (WPF 3D Tab Carousel):

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tabs/WPF3DTabCarousel.aspx

But... then some user voted 1:

http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3322091/My-vote-of-1.aspx

The user didn't even offer a reason. The message's body was a single character: "-"

So, Fredrik's article was depreciated for absolutely no reason. I don't think it's fair. It's an outright vandalism. But the damage has already been done. Does CP have a policy, to take action in such cases?

Take a look at full source code C# Snooker game here in Code Project.

As soon as a couple (5?) of people click the "vote to remove message" button, the message and its associated vote get removed, restoring things to normal. The same twat downvoted my recent article, but he got what he deserved. And I reported him in the sug&bug forum.

You should have a Modify link in the upper right hand corner from your blog once it is approved. Then you should be able to move it. But if you want to let me know what section you want it I'd be happy to move it there for you as well

Any HowTo for "Add your technical blog" from Wordpress

Hello

I would like to use the offer from

http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/BlogFeed.aspx]

Ho can I do so from a wordpress site. ie hjgode.de/wp?

Which files have to be changed etc. on the wordpress site?

Is there already any wordpress plugin or addon?

Happy New Year

regards

Josef

I already did a quick hack of wp files to have my blog conform to "Technical Blogging" at CodeProject.com:
I inserted one line in wp-inludes/feed-rss2.php

...

...
	<?php do_action('rss2_head'); ?>
	<?php while( have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<category>CodeProject</category>
	<item>
...

The other file to change was wp-content/themes/win7blog/footer.php. I added one line at the end of the file to include a link to CodeProject blog:

...
	<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/BlogFeedList.aspx?amid=hjgode" 
	rel="tag">CodeProject</a>
  </p>

</div>

</div><!-- #wrapper .hfeed -->

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

You have to replace win7blog with the name of your wp theme in use.

Hopefully one finds a better solution

Regards

Josef

Actually this quick hack is one of the few successful attempts I've seen at modifying a Wordpress RSS feed.

What version of Wordpress are you using?
