Displaying full sized Image

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.

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 Big Grin | :-D

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,

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.

Updating an article submitted via the RSS feed

Hi,

first thanks for making CodeProject the great platform it is. Smile | :)

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)" Smile | :)

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. Smile | :)

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.

Sean Ewington8-Mar-13 10:23

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 Wink | ;)

Hi Sean,

thanks for the update, it's perfect! Smile | :)

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.

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.

That is correct.

Provided you give the article enough context and detail, that should bring it back into the remit of CodeProject.

Sadly, this is true.

Good luck.

Is my published article. However there is a video link at the top. It is not embedding the video. Rather, only "Video" is coming. Can somebody please fix that to a video window where user can play the video?
