Article Writing

I think the approach you're taking makes a lot of sense. You could combine the articles, but some people just need/want the background without a lot of project-specific examples.

Can you have a look at this: Can I add an RSS feed from a medium publication?[^] - you are more likely to know than anyone else!

I suppose it was because you just posted a couple of pictures and some links with very few or no explanations

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks very much for your message. I guess the first thing is that it seems some of your projects that were pulled in were in French. As we are a predominantly English speaking site, we ask that our content be in English.

The second thing is that sometimes Projects don't quite meet our article requirements. Although it's very understandable and easy for a Project from Github coming in to just share the project, our Project articles are meant to be the same as our regular articles. As such, CodeProject is more about code sharing rather than tool sharing. So we would ask you to make some changes to the article to discuss more how the tool works (showing and describing examples of that code) rather than telling us what it does.

CodeProject articles have a certain layout to follow, so that users can learn the most from them. Each article attempts to answer the following questions: What problem does this solution solve? How does this help someone else? How does the code actually work? What is going on inside the code snippets?

For tips on writing articles, please see this article:
A Guide To Writing Articles For Code Project[^]

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Thnaks to repond to me.
Documentation/Article is all in english only 3 videos are in frensh, i could delet them.
I checked the content uploaded from github to the one posted here, and i modified some sections to fit to codeproject's article.
" (showing and describing examples of that code) rather than telling us what it does"
well the wiki is huge, can't just past it here or past an example, it's not a small peace of code, it's an engine to draw things, initialization ..., i left a link to my wiki with 23 sections in my article :

Thanks very much for your response. I wouldn't say to to put the entire wiki in the article (though you could), but at the least to pick a few key components to discuss in detail would be ideal.

It seems that the admins explained you why they had to delete the article. Simply look through the message from the administration more attentively. I understand how much it upsets you, but this stuff happens sometimes. Cheer up!

Why does image added as Article Thumbnail not appear as thumbnail?

Re: Why does image added as Article Thumbnail not appear as thumbnail?

14-Oct-20 15:27

For my article "The Spiral TrackBar", I uploaded a thumbnail image (100x67 pixels) for the article using the Browse button under the Article Thumbnail section.

The image is currently listed with the Images as Thumbnail.jpg, but it is not being displayed as the thumbnail. The auto-generated "Thumbnail.png" is still being displayed.

How do I tell the Article Submission Wizard which image to use for a thumbnail?

Thanks,
Graham

Re: Why does image added as Article Thumbnail not appear as thumbnail?

I've also had problems setting the thumbnail. What seems to work is to do it as the absolute last thing before submitting the article. Under Article Thumbnail on the right, click on Browse... and navigate to the file (which you also uploaded previously). Select the thumbnail and then submit the article. Hope this works for you.

Question alert on article

Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually, adding the icon was all I did in that particular editing session.

But this morning, I noticed that the icon was correctly set. Not sure if it was a cache issue.

Download links not working in Preview mode

Re: Download links not working in Preview mode

12-Oct-20 4:38

I'm updating one of my old articles using the Article Submission Wizard. I've uploaded new downloads and updated the links in the article. But when I go to preview mode and test the downloads, for all of them I get "No download file was specified".

I've looked at the HTML source in the editor, and it does look reasonable.

The current (old) article is "The Spiral TrackBar Control" (https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/719643/The-Spiral-TrackBar-Control-2).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Graham

Re: Download links not working in Preview mode

To my knowledge, I don't believe you can download files from a preview. I think the article must be published.
