Bugs and Suggestions

Re: 2 comment blocks for article

Yes, for new versions of existing articles a new forum, specifically to cater to comments on changes of the article is added. There is an explanation above each discussion board that should make this clear, but if the explanation isn't there (or isn't clear) let me know.

Source code is cut-off in article although it is fine in editor

Hi,

I have a problem with the following article ASP.NET MVC3 Razor With JQuery For Beginners[^]. In the edit section, the second code listing (above the picture is cut-off). If you open this link in the edit section you can see that this part of code ends with

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =>

there is a code after this statement but it is not generated here. When I go to the article and edit is this code is not cut-off. It seems to me that this > causes some problem where and ends the code on this position.
I have tried to remove this => and replace it with just = . In that case code is continued to the next =>.

This is very strange because I have other parts of code where I have used => but it is now cut-off there.

If you need any additional info let me know.

Thanks,
Jovan

Hi Jovan,

Did you already fix this on your own? It seems OK to me now. Please let me know if all is well. I suspect it was an angle bracket that was like this: >

instead of this: >

Inside pre blocks our article editor requires the latter.

Our syntax colouriser is getting scared and confused by the lambda notation inside the HTML.

I'll talk to it and calm it down.

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if Code Project could support pictures, like display them in posts, that would be nice, I mean if people abuse them, there's always that "report the person and let administration ban them from Code Project or take care of it", is it a memory/storage problem for the web masters, I was wondering if any of you'll had ideas like this...

Regards,
Brandon T. H.

They were supported some time ago, and removed for the very reason you mentioned. Too much trouble, I guess.

I believe CP only supports photos and videos in articles. You can post links to pictures or videos in other forums.

[edit] If we allowed pictures in CP then anyone could post anything, offensive or not. I'm talking about elephants dancing in the sunshine, if you know what I mean. Smile | :)

Chris,

Check out my comments at the bottom of this article; Introducing Visual Studio LightSwitch[^]

Basically, if the video is playing, and your browser client space is less than ~1260px then the right hand Tower ad is over the top of the video, and doesn't go behind like the rest of the text. don't know if you can tweak the zOrder.

Cheers,

Dave

Could I suggest that maybe 1280 is a little too big? Wink | ;)

Not only from a screensize perspective, but also from the point that a smaller screensize will dramatically help member bandwidth issues in downloading the video

I updated my article and removed a few files that are no longer necessary. While the new version hasn't been released, the old article still points to these files and now no longer works.

Perhaps, it would be best to copy all files over to the working, delete the files in the working, and, once the article is approved, move everything over to the 'production'.

I just recently used the new editor (which totally rocks) to upload a new version of my article.

After doing such, I found I was able to go and approve my own article. I would assume this isn't a desired behavior. I mean, who wouldn't approve something they just submitted. Poke tongue | ;-P

Currently we have no problem with you doing this but we are going to change this so you can't approve your own articles.

the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for
security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on
the local server machine.

            <b>Details:</b> To enable the details of this specific error
 message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a
