Hi Chris,
what do you think of putting all contents of the CodeGuru on a CD-ROM which regular update cycles, e.g. 3 month ?
I know there is a lot of stuff behind the scenes you might want to hide from the public, but it would be a realy great thing to have a CD, setting one or two DSNs, maybay registering some DLLs and then be able with one's own PWS/IIS surfing "offline" the CodeProject.
Is this something you can think about ?
Greetings from Germany, Tom

Is there any way to get the AspForum.dll source? Or a copy of AspForum.dll that works on MS SQLServer.
I am trying to convert the forums to use SQL Server instead of Access, but have a problem with the ReadArticles Method seems to have some "#" in it for use with dates in Access. Well that doesn't work for SQL Server, instead I need to replace them with "'". Of course I can't do that without the source code. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Levi

An SQLServer version is certainly in the works.
|
|
|
|

Great I am anxiously looking forward to it.
Oh, and BTW I am SQL Server DBA so if you need any help let me know.

Hi Oz,
We already have this - if it's not working for you then can you send me a note letting me know what browser and OS you are using?
Thanks,
Chris

I Love this site but when I do searches for
keywords via AltaVista, Excite, and Google I
notice that I don't seem to get any hits on
CodeProject. I only get that "other"
Code???? site.
For example, do a search on:
+CGridCtrl +maunder
Only Google has one fairly relevant match.

here some of them (sorry i not listed in all items into this discussion, see next why):
- why after any item expanding it must (re)load about 35kB? (without pictures!)
- in (next) message setting/creating remembers my name and mail but not remembers my password
- why is not possible to see list of (more) discussions i'm intetrested in one? sometimes he same can be in general, sometimes in vc++
- is possible to add passoword for layer modify own message in discussion, what about article?
- more expanded items/subtree in one click, at once (personal option)
- keeping message and replyes at one page (not at prev/next, little bit ignoring message per page)
- another already sent to webmaster directly (personal profiles, mail notifications about whole sub-trees and not to my messages only, ...)

1) Uwe and I have been talking about ways of reducing the time it takes to view messages. Leave this with us.
2) We store info in cookies (at present). There is no way I will risk our readers' security by storing passwords in cookies.
3)-4) Not sure what you are asking here...
5) This is an option we've been talking about
6) Tricky
7) Yep - got this list and will add these new items to it 
Thanks Tibor!

ad 2)
is not possible f.e. to rememmber password in memmory untill browsers end?
ad 3)
you have more discussions, i want to check (into my pesonal profile) i'm interested in general and vc++
i will see it as a one discussion so i do not need to browse thru two ones (when i do not want)
ad 4)
i know how to modify my discussion message but i did not found how to do the same with own-articles
(maybe i looked wrongly)
ad 6)
but now you can have reply at another page than question
(maybe parameter main messages per page or similar (or ignore this comment))

Hello,
great job your doing! But I've said this already once I guess. One more suggestion I have: I think it would be practical to offer a version of an article description in text format for printing / saving.
Just a thought.

I've already added a "View Printable version" tag in each article (see the bottom right hand corner of article headers). If anyone knows a quick and easy way to filter out HTML tags to produce plain text then part two of your suggestion is easy.
- Chris
|
|
|
|
|
To strip out HTML tags, off the top of my head...
perl -p -e 's/<\/?[a-z]+.*?>//goi'
I'm a newbie Perl programmer, so please debug this before putting it into production. 
|
|
|
|
|
Stripping tags is easy - it's the formatted text output that is the trick. For instance,
<h1>Heading</h1>This is a paragraph
Should come out:
Heading
This is a paragraph
but by stripping tags we'd get
Heading This is a paragraph
I'll check out the DOM as per Eriks suggestion
|
|
|
|
|
Hmm... The DOM does that for us, why create a needless server side program or use Perl?
hmm. I'd attach a sample file if I could, but I guess I can just type it in here.
<SCRIPT langauge="javaScript">
function WithoutTags()
{
var wnd = window.open("");
wnd.document.all(3).innerText = window.document.all.withtags.innerText;
}
</SCRIPT>
<SPAN ID="withtags">
<IMG SRC="http://www.codeproject.com/images/cplogo.gif">
<BR>
<B>Hello</B>
<BR>Would you like to see more?
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="RED">This is more colored text in tags</FONT>
</SPAN>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="View Without Tags" onclick="return WithoutTags();">
I have tested this and it works. just don't F5 in the new window and you are safe. Then file/saveas and save as a text file. Done, no server hit and it's painless to do in the client.
-Erik

How about Update/Change article wizard?

>How about Update/Change article wizard?
It's coming!
|
|
|
|
|
Ok. But how I can modify article that I have posted to non useritems section?
|
|
|
|
|
The same old way unfortunately. Send it to submit@codeproject.com and we'll take care of it from our end.
|
|

Each article posted on this site has a comments section that follows. It would be nice if there is a way to view the article and ALL comments at once. At present, one has to click on each comment to expand it. A simple expand-all button preceding the comment block would be nice.
Keep up the good work with this site. It is a wonderful job that you guys are doing.

Ok my 2 cents
1.
I enjoy Discussion Boards but
I hate Mouse clicks or Tabbing to go from one thread to another,
So the development of a less interactive GUI for discussion boards that gets me the info I desire is my request.
How about when I visit a board the ability to checkmark all the threads I wish to read, and then post the info to the server to reply with all the threads I requested opened !
2.
I like answering questions on certain topics, (sure a lot of topics I don't even understand the question).
How about incorporating an e-mail alert when a new thread is started on a topic that I have added to my keywords in my profiles preferences.
I realise these are large requests, But I would like to see codeproject.com with the best developer discussion boards in existence. Actually I haven't seen either of these feature anywhere,
Anyhow I'ts a great site already
Best Wishes

Thanks for the ideas. We are constantly working on the boards and are looking for ways to make them easier to use, and to provide you with the info you need in a more efficient manner.
I'll talk to Uwe and see what we can come up with!
cheers,
Chris

To 2.):
When we first made the ability to store user-profiles, there are myriads of possibilities what to do with these profiles, surely on is to add e-mail alerts for notifications.
Just be a little more patient

Any chance of a MFC forum in the near future?
