Another idea I had is to have an article to PDF conversion so people can download articles for future use. Is there any chance that something like this could be implemented in CP articles?

Thanks.

Although it would be nice if CP did this automatically have you tried using the "Print Article" link to remove ads and then use a printer like CutePDF to print to a pdf file.

Not as nice I know but workable all the same, I've done this in the past to save articles.

I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

Yes, but I just thought that an automatic PDF creator would be nice.

I agree, maybe if someone put together an article with it then it might be implemented... Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Forum Ideas

I was thinking, how about having a CodeProject Technology and/or Electronics forum? That way people can discuss problems with they're electronics or just general technology problems (software, drivers etc.)

Does anyone else think that this would be a good idea?

That's a great idea! Maybe a Perl/PHP forum.

*Opens book of generic excuses given to me by Chris*
"The Code Project is orientated more towards Microsoft technologies, we try to stay focused" (Lame excuse! I could moderate the forum and do all the focusing)

And also Perl is a waste of a forum.

Yeah, the Soapbox stays really focused! Poke tongue | ;-P

And besides, you could just get rid of the Web Development forum (HTML, CSS and Javascript really aren't THAT hard), and just have a PHP forum.

Not if it's merged with another subject (i.e. PHP). And since AJAX is getting bigger, what about an AJAX forum?

What I would like to see are the following forums:

Client Web Design - HMTL, CSS, JavaScript, Flash(gasp), JAVA, XML/XSLT and so on
PHP/Perl(sacrilege) - PHP, Perl

I think this would bring a huge amount of new members to the site....

I agree. But I guess Chris doesn't want any new members.

He is having enough trouble with the ones he has. Big Grin | :-D

But I really think that a PHP forum would be a great idea. Maybe I could offer some services to the site in exchange for it....

Vertical Order Logon To CodeProject

True. I think CP Team can consider creating a PHP forum.

Hi,

I would suggest if it is feasible, to have a vertical order logon in the side navigation for CodeProject rather than having at the top. By vertical order, I mean, username, password fields follow each other in next next lines rather than falling in the same line horizontally.

When we have a vertical order, we can control the 'Remember Me' checkbox by keyboard (TabIndex). This would also be in sync with most other logon screens.

Particularly, when we check and logon to CP from shared computers and Internet cafes, I think this should be very useful security measure.
