Re: Today I've published an article but files enclosed to the article are missing from the CodeProject.com servers. Arthur V. Ratz30-Apr-16 15:46 Arthur V. Ratz 30-Apr-16 15:46  Thanks, Chris. I've already checked. The files uploaded to my article's page are now downloadable. Thanks a lot. I can't just figure out what the option "Work in progress: don't publish" under the article writing page is actually needed for? Arthur V. Ratz26-Apr-16 1:51 Arthur V. Ratz 26-Apr-16 1:51  Hi. I can't just figure out what the option "Work in progress: don't publish" under the article writing page is actually needed for? Normally, the contents of an article either pasted to or typed in that page are automatically saved each time within a several seconds. So please, can you tell me what is this option is needed for. As far as I can understand this option tells moderators not to approve an article immediately, right away an article has been posted, but approve and publish it at the time specified by an author. Is that true ? Here's a screenshot of what I actually mean: [^] Thanks, Arthur. modified 26-Apr-16 7:58am.

Pete O'Hanlon26-Apr-16 1:59 Pete O'Hanlon 26-Apr-16 1:59  It means you can leave the article and come back to it later - it will still be in draft and won't be published. And while there is an automatic save, there's no guarantee that it happens between you typing some text and leaving the page.

Ratz 26-Apr-16 2:05  Pete, thanks a lot for your reply. In my plans to contribute an article to CodeProject May 1st and I'd like to know how to make so that my article would be published (I mean uploaded into the CodeProject.com) probably today or tomorrow, but will be approved and become available not prior May 1st, 2016 ?? Thanks, Arthur. Re: I can't just figure out what the option "Work in progress: don't publish" under the article writing page is actually needed for? Pete O'Hanlon26-Apr-16 2:21 Pete O'Hanlon 26-Apr-16 2:21  You can't guarantee when it will be approved. If there are things that need fixing, that will slow the approval process down. Remember that the approvers are generally busy people who give their time for free, so they will review as and when they can.

Ratz 26-Apr-16 2:27  Clear. But if I would post an article today or tomorrow, can I ask to feed it into the approval queue not earlier than May 1st, 2016 ? Thanks, Arthur.

It can be painful. If you'd like, you could send me the HTML and I can try tackling it for you. I can't make guarantees, though. The article editor is ornery. Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Re: Adding my own styles #realJSOP13-Apr-16 5:49 #realJSOP 13-Apr-16 5:49  Sean Ewington wrote: You could try adding it to the specific element you're using That's what I was trying to avoid, because it's a "pain in the ass"(tm). I'll go ahead and edit my article to do that, but... If this is just "the way it is", I think changing the article editor to allow you to upload a css file would be a nice feature. The way I see it working is that the style sheet gets renamed to the article title and is simply added to the articles head section. If no css file is uploaded, an empty file with the appropriate name is created to avoid the inevitable "file not found" exception. Of course, the file should be parsed to make sure it's a valid/appropriate css file. Just a thought.

I'm already in there. I'll speak to Chris about the CSS possibility. We try and generally make every article look the same, but perhaps we could add something for certain member reputation levels or something like that. Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Re: Adding my own styles #realJSOP13-Apr-16 6:09 #realJSOP 13-Apr-16 6:09  Depending on how much work you guys think this warrants, here are some suggestions: Assuming someone is of a sufficient rep level to upload their own CSS: 0) Remove any override of the standard styles in the css file (like page, html, h1, h2, etc) 1) Remove any style override in the article body of those same styles 2) If the css file or article body was changed to normalize the styles, send an email to the author informing him of said changes. I think that would mitigate most of the chaos.

Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Latex formatting Kenneth Haugland12-Apr-16 8:42 Kenneth Haugland 12-Apr-16 8:42  I just published an article using a lot of LaTex: Octave bands and auditory filters in acoustics[^] The formulas seem to be fine: HTML <div class="math">$f_{sometext} = f_h \cdot 5 $</div> But if I try the inline code: HTML $f_{sometext} = f_h \cdot 5 $ It wont show up properly. What Am I doing wrong here? Re: Latex formatting Sean Ewington12-Apr-16 8:45 Sean Ewington 12-Apr-16 8:45  Try: <span class="math">(f_{sometext} = f_h \cdot 5 )</span> Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Re: Latex formatting Kenneth Haugland12-Apr-16 8:50 Kenneth Haugland 12-Apr-16 8:50  Ah, I did in the article, but it shows up wrong: HTML 20 \mu Pa Re: Latex formatting Sean Ewington12-Apr-16 8:57 Sean Ewington 12-Apr-16 8:57  Hmmm. Perhaps it isn't working properly then. Could I trouble you to make a Site Bugs post about it? I'm curious to see if it's a problem for anyone else. Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Re: Latex formatting Kenneth Haugland12-Apr-16 9:03 Kenneth Haugland 12-Apr-16 9:03  Sure, I posted it.
