Hi guys,
I am currently working on a project which will make dev's life easier if it comes out as it is supposed to be (Currently, it is not even close to working, neither to be even compiled).
To present the basic ideas of the project, I wrote this little Tip/Trick[^]. My question is now: Can this already be submitted as Tip/Trick or should I wait until I got the whole thing finished and publish it as a full-featured article?

I reckon that's up to you but from the look of it I would have said there's a full article in there.
I find one of the most valuable things about writing a CP article is that it makes you no only get the implementation correct but push on all the way to a reasonably polished item.
I'm a problem solver so once the algorithmic or technical problem is solved to my satisfaction it's hard to raise the motivation to go on working on the same thing. Getting to the point of being able to publish gives me that extra push to make something useful rather than just proving a point.

I know, the full article will be published anyways, I am working on the implementation and 70 % of the class code is written...
I am more the kinda guy who first finishes the code and then present the code polished in an article to the community. I want to share the basic idea of what I do in the Tip/Trick and make kind of a series out of it (first comes the idea presented in the Tip/Trick and afterwards I present the polished and well-descripted code in an article).

That may not be the way Tips and Articles were intended to be used but I don't think it's abuse of the site or anything. Maybe you'll even start a trend. I could do part 3 of my QOR series in a number of ways if I do it all and one of them would be as a series of Tips. I have a bigger dilemma with it though as to whether to go ahead at all or whether to try and get funding to do a Phd based on the ideas but that's another story.

Hi,
I created an article that has been published but I have not recieved the points yet. Can you help me what could be the problem?
Appreciate your help,
Thanks!

It does look like you're right. Have you examined your recent reputation points list to confirm no entry when the article was published? Click on your current points displayed near right at the top of most pages to go straight to this list.

It seems that now the overal points has this 100 included. Still not appearing on the reputation history list but I guess it is not a problem.
Thanks for your support!

Correct. This is one of those cases where your overall reputation doesn't quite match your recent reputation. Chris is looking at reputation right now and I'll pass this along.
Thanks,

How do I display a full sized image as an option to the currently displayed smaller Image?
Here is partial html code. I did not display all the code here. It starts with img
src="img src="BlackBeautyMP3PlayerwithPlaylistOption640x480.png" width="640" height="480" .
Lets imagine that this code is displaying an image of a mp3 player. The image seems small
for code project article. I want to in-large the image on another page to its full size.
How do I do this? I am using coffeecup html editor and not the code project's article wizard.
Thankx in advance for any correct answer

Hi rspercy65,
Typically what we do is put a full size option clickable within the smaller one. So like this:
<a href="BlackBeautyMP3PlayerwithPlaylistOption1200x800.png"><img src="BlackBeautyMP3PlayerwithPlaylistOption640x480.png" width="640" height="480" border="0"/></a>
You could also put a comment below if you wanted to direct the reader, like
<div class="Caption">Click to see larger image</div>
Please let me know if you have further questions or need help with this.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

I'm sorry, but you have asked this question in the wrong forum. This forum is for questions about writing articles.

Pete is right.
You may want to ask your question in the Web development forums[^].
Please read the forum list on the left, there is more than one web development forum. Which one is appropriate depends on which technology you are using.

Hi,
first thanks for making CodeProject the great platform it is.
I'm currently feeding some of my articles from my blog (pragmateek.com) to CodeProject using the "Blog Feeds" feature (brilliant stuff by the way).
I've submitted an article named "Using C# from native C++ with the help of C++/CLI" on march 4th, but later discovered a flaw in it so I've deleted it, made a new fixed and enhanced version named, well ... "Using C# from native C++ with the help of C++/CLI (fixed and enhanced)" that I've published today (march 7th): http://pragmateek.com/using-c-from-native-c-with-the-help-of-ccli-v2/[^].
I've changed the date and in the RSS feed I can see: "<pubDate>Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:30:13 +0000</pubDate>"
I've even changed the URL of the article (appending a "-v2")
But, while I see that my feed has been scanned some hours ago, the article has not been added to CodeProject.
So I guess the bot does some clever analysis and detect that it is the "same" article and does not add it.
How can I make the updated article available to CodeProject?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Pragmateek,
I'd be happy to update the deleted article using your updated blog post, then restore the blog post. Would that be OK?
Thanks,

Hi Sean,
thanks for your help.
I've republished the article, so you can update it.
Thanks a lot.
PS: will you automate such a process in the future?
What would be perfect: "continuous" update from the source; instead of freezing the article it could evolve as the source evolve.

Hi Pragmateek,
No problem, I have updated the article with your existing blog entry.
As for continuous update ... that is currently not in the cards. But it's worth thinking about

Hi Sean,
thanks for the update, it's perfect!
Sorry for the inconvenience.
By "continuous" I mean once a day would already be great.

Does anyone know why the fancy tabloid type iPad app picks a random part from the center of your article when you share an article through linkedin?
Is there anyway to manipulate the html (e.g. use section/article) to make it use the first part of the text.
The website just uses you first paragraph.

An article of mine "Those Magnificent Men, a game for Windows"
[^] has been closed stating "This post is spam, abusive or otherwise inappropriate."
But I don't believe the article is either spam, abusive nor inappropriate. Can someone provide some clarification, or advice about how to improve the article so that it can be re-opened? Does it need some code samples(the original competition stated that we didn't need to provide any code samples)? Does it need more clarification on the choice of language, platform, etc.?
I have put a lot of effort into my project and have been working very hard on it for the past 5 months to move it forward. It is quite hurtful for someone to just close the article without leaving any suggestions on how to rectify the situation.
Thanks,
Ched

Ched, I am aware that there has been some conversation about this article. While you are correct that you originally submitted this against the AppInnovation contest, the concern that people had raised was that there were updates to this article that happened long after the competition closed, but which didn't show any code - in fact, the only thing other than screenshots, was a link to the indiedb site. It's certainly a bit cheeky of you not to be linking to the AppUp store, after all the competition was for entries in the AppUp store.

|

ah .. I had replied to him, not having seen the previous conversation - I did wonder about the 'commercial links'
I've since deleted my reply

Thanks for replying Pete,
I am aware that the competition is closed, but I would still like to finish my project and keep the code-project article up-to-date. Do you think I should move the article since the competition is over?
As I stated above, there was no specific requirement, originally to show code, although when I return home I will update the article with some example code, if this is what is needed to re-open the article.
The IndieDB link was provided for the Demo/Beta versions for users to access and possibly provide me with comments/suggestions while the project is evolving. I fully intend to submit the final version to the AppUp site. The IndieDB authorisation is quicker (released within 6-12 hrs) while the AppUp authorisation is slow (2 weeks I believe) and so it makes more sense at this stage of the project for the game to be hosted on IndieDB.
