Re: AutoBuild Installer is considered as a tip and not an article

If you read this[^] article, you should get an idea as to what a tip is. From this, you should be able to work out what you need to change to make your work an article. As I don't have a link to your tip, I can't comment with any more detail than that.

Hi Durgesh,

Your post would be considered a Tip because it is a brief, straightforward, step-by-step "how to." And I don't think you should change it, it's fine just the way it is.

Thanks,

Are there any info on when to consider an "article" as an article instead of a tip?

There is! Code Project Article FAQ[^]

This should probably be updated to include "step by step" posts which could also be Tips.

After uploading the files, select the zip files which you want to add to your article, and then click on the "Add selected zip files to article" link to add a link to the download file.

Is this really an article?

I just looked at the following article: Learning MVC - Part 1: Introduction to MVC Architecture and Separation of Concerns[^]

The first part doesn't really teach you anything other than what wikipedia says. All the other parts are also on his own blog, so it's more like he is using CodeProject to drive traffic to his blog.

I'm wondering why it got accepted?

I asked him about the blog part - he posted the blog after he posted the articles.

That's not what I'm saying.

1. Only part one is available at codeproject.
2. The first part itself is imho too short to be considered as an article

But if that's allowed I would love to short down my articles into "Parts" and put all but part one in my own blog. Great for my traffic, but not so great for codeproject.

Then why not say it to the author, rather than coming here and saying it?

The thing is - the other parts are available here. The author should be pointing to the CP versions, but he's not point to them in the initial entry. I've mentioned that to him.

You can find details here[^].

I'm thinking about writing an article for how to make a chrome app and another article on how to make a chrome extension, so I was wondering, if there is already some on this site, coz if there is there is not really a point of writing one is there?

I don't recall seeing any articles about Chrome apps, but there are some articles about Chrome extensions. I have provided a short list below, but you should really browse around for yourself.
I am pretty sure everyone will tell you to write an article if you feel you can make a good contribution.

Google Chrome Extension - CodeProject Template Items[^]

That really depends. If you bring something new to the table, or if the existing ones are of poor quality then there's always room for new articles.
