Hi
I think it is time to add "PHP" and "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" *See-Note-Below as article tags.
The CodeProject site provides article tags for all other languages and technologies (for both Microsoft and OpenSource), but not "PHP" nor "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" ?
PHP\LAMP articles are currently bunched under some very generic tag called "Web Development".
I have read the previous denials to add "PHP" nor "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" because:
- It is not Microsoft
- There are plenty of other resources outsite of CodeProject discussing PHP
Why the bias against PHP?
Believe me, PHP language has a strong presence in the Windows arena, or it would not have been included within "Microsoft Web Platform Installer 3.0".
I am requesting for these additional article tags:
- "PHP" as an "Language" Article Tag
- "LAMP" as an "Technology" Article Tag
There is not other site like CodeProject where one can post and share articles pertaining to code development. I have posted C# and C++ articles and prefer this forum for its openest and structure.
I would like to see PHP and LAMP articles be presented as an equal to all other languages and technologies as are given to C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, F#, JavaScript, etc..
NOTE:
LAMP - Linux Apache MySQL PHP stack
WASP - Windows Apache SQL-Server PHP stack
WIMP - Windows IIS MySQL PHP stack
WISP - Windows IIS SQL-Server PHP stack

WE have PHP, Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl and Python as tags. We also have PHP as a colourisation option in the language dropdown while creating articles in the WYSIWYG editor. Plus, we also have PHP, Linux, MySQL, and Perl forums. I'm not sure where you get the impression there's a bias against PHP and LAMP. We fully support and absolutely encourage articles and questions on this topic.
Articles should be posted in the correct section by Topic, not technology, unless the technology is itself the topic. For example, an article on writing a page using PHP will go under Web Development, but will be tagged PHP.
I hope this clarifies things.

Currently we may only vote once for an article. But some articles got updated several times, reflecting an effort by the author to improve the article, fix bugs, add new features.
Some of them, like for example Filter Edit by Ben Hanson or MFC Grid control  , have been updated regularly for years. I think we should be able to vote several times for those articles, another solution could be to vote for a supplementary special award when an article has been updated over a long period of time.

You can change your vote now. Try it with any article that you already voted for, it will say "You voted X for this article. Revote?" to the left of the voting buttons (X is the rating you gave).
Not sure if it works if you voted long ago, before the system was changed.
Never mind, misunderstood your meaning.

Thats not what the OP means. He wants to offer a 2nd or 3rd vote simply because the author has been consistently providing updates.
|
|
|
|
|
 I wasn't paying attention. That would make sense in a way, but the implementation and arguments over details will have the hamsters pulling out their fur...

Well the author could branch into a new article every time he releases a really major update. That way people who use it can give him a deserving vote once again. And the old versions remain archived too.
I've experienced this in my articles when I update them to a newer version of VS or .NET. Someone will mail me asking if I still have thd old version! So archiving older versions is not that bad an idea.

Sure, you sometimes need old versions - that is service too! But that way you are losing all the previous updates notes (after all this is your decision), and will the older versions contains all bug fix ? Even for you it is a difficult point.
Well, it is only a suggestion. Because I get fustrated when I have already given somebody a 5 and I think the article deserve more. Also I generally don't post kudos comments. Not that I don't want to cheer on authors but I prefer useful technical comments.

While I agree that sometimes I too want to give an author an 11, I feel the current system is the simplest and fairest.

Answered in the lounge:
If you can't remember your password, then if you sign out (or better just visit a different computer to do this) then there is a "Lost password" link to the right of the log in box at the TRHC of the screen.
If you click it, it takes you here: Code Project: Send password[^] and it should all be obvious from there!

this i have done and i have already recieved the temporary password. I am able to login using temporary password but when i want to change the password after that i am unable to do so...
|

When you log in using the temporary password, right click on your username in the TRHC of any page, and select "My Settings".
Enter your new, desired password in both the boxes "Password" and "Password confirm", then press the "Save my Settings" button at teh bottom of the screen. Should be job done!

I have done it and its not working....

I just tried it and it worked fine for me - can you try again, and note what happens at each stage?

I tried changing my password too but not working as well. I fill up the Password and Confirm Password text box then click on Save My Settings. It then redirect me to an error page.

... but the navigation links at the top of the lounge have a space missing. FirstPrev Next.
They still work fine, but next time someone is ferreting about in there?

Yeah, but that's only true on the first page. (And, in fact, the same for this forum). So it's sort of like a double indicator that First==Prev.

Never considered that.

I know this is the third thread about it, but they really do need to be put back into their own tabs again. I was perusing the latest "Articles" and went on a 1-voting spree because all of the "articles" were too short and had no source download. By the time I reached thabout the 20th "article by the same author, I realized they were *BLOG ENTRIES*! I had to go back and unvote on all of his stuff.
This really is a change for the worse, guys.

You found a way to unvote? I'd like to know how that goes... (in fact I would like to have a way to undo every voting, bookmarking, moderating, and maybe even reporting action).
PS: I agree.

Deleting your "Reason for my Vote of 1" message also deletes the vote itself (at least I think it does).
