We have had some database issues over the weekend, which have been mitigated. As a result, you may have gotten a 404 when requesting your article. As someone below pointed out, the browser may cache the 404 response, so it may be necessary to clear the your browser cache.

I can see you article fine, and will be having a read later.

Thanks for all the great articles.

Missing images after publish, codeproject bug/feature?

I have a similar issue to this person: https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/392656/Missing-images-from-my-tip-tricks-published-today

I am not smart enough to figure this out by myself so please figure this out for me. In short images are visible during edit and preview but are not visible after publish.

All my images hase a src like this in the markup:
src="swagger.JPG"

But when published they are getting stored using totally different URLs, like for example the markup above for the image swagger.jpg ends up like this (not working):
https://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/5278879/Working/swagger.JPG

But an image further down (src="visual_studio_solution_view.JPG") in the article ends up like this (working):
https://www.codeproject.com/KB/Articles/5278879/Working/visual_studio_solution_view.JPG

Why is it that the first image ending up under /aspnet/ and the second image ending up under /Articles/?

Please someone enlight me in regards to what I am doing wrong. If this is not a bug then I think something needs to be seriously wrong with the UX design of the platform, or I need some brain surgery myself.

Two things

Ad blockers tend to interfere with them displaying for some reason

And something I've noticed is the first time I publish an article the images don't show up for me. If I go to edit the article again and then simply repost it they seem to work. That's what I've been doing.

In my case this does not help. I have published the article like 10 times and recreated it from scratch once. But, thanks for replying, I pushed it once again this morning just to make sure and the issue is still the same.

Anyone else with a suggestion?

I think this is most likely a technical issue and I hope someone that has encountered this before, and fixed it, can reply to me.

Be patient. I am sure that @Sean-Ewington or any other from the staff will have a look and sort it out.

Just stop trying it yourself, because you overwrote a revision done by @Chris-Maunder (I suppose without noticing it). To your defense, that revision didn't have all images either.

Hi,

The article titled:

Nimbus SDK: A Tiny Framework for C++ Real-Time Volumetric Cloud Rendering,
Animation and Morphing

does not work. A suggestive error message says: Do not try and find the page. That’s impossible. Instead only try to realise the truth.

Please, I encourage the admins to solve it.

Thank you in advance.

What I have tried:

I have tried to reload the page several days but it still not working.

I was navigating without problems, then I started to get the error in the pic for a while. Getting back and trying another link was getting error again.

Restart Firefox and clear cache helped (or maybe was a timing issue, I don't know for sure).

It just spent five minutes or so doing that to me as well - on Chrome, not FF.

Have tried the same on FF, Chrome and Safari. Pretty much got the same result (error page) throughout the day.

A niggling little annoyance.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to find this irritating, but when I copy and paste code into a message, if I use the auto system to provide a code block I get this:

<pre>            for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
                {
                myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
                }
</pre>

Which looks like this when rendered:

for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
    {
    myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
    }

OK, I can add the language myself to get the syntax highlighter to work:

<pre lang="cs">            for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
                {
                myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
                }
</pre>

for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
    {
    myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
    }

But ... if I paste the same code "as is" and add the code block afterwards:

            for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
                {
                myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
                }

The initial pre tag goes in the wrong place:

            <pre lang="c#">for (int i = 0; i &lt; myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
                {
                myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
                }</pre>

Which means the first line is unindented to the margin, but the rest isn't.

for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
                {
                myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
                }

It's easy enough to fix, but ... it niggles, every time! Big Grin | :-D

Not 100% sure what you mean.

You past the code as-is (so it doesn't do any processing - just pastes text). You should see

            for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
                {
                myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
                }

in the text box as you type.

"add the code block afterwards"

You mean add the PRE tag like:

<pre lang="cs">
            for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
                {
                myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
                }
</pre>

(which would render

for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
    {
    myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
    }

I don't think that's what you mean though.

(You've probably worked out years ago that we outdent the text to make it as flush-left as possible)

Paste a block of code, select "as is"
The code appears indented:

Highlight it, and use the "code" widget to select the language: text will do the same as c#:

Notice that the pre tag is flushed right to the first non-space character.
Then when it's posted (and in the preview)it looks like this image:

Because all the "loose spaces" to the left of the pre tag are (correctly) swallowed leaving the rest of the text "orphaned" with their original indentation.

What should happen is that the code widget should put the pre tag flushed left, not right, then the auto formatter will left justify the indentation correctly:

for (int i = 0; i < myDataTable.Columns.Count; i++)
    {
    myDataGridView.Columns[i].HeaderText = myDataTable.Columns[i].Caption;
    }

Does that make sense?
