Issue with the right panel in QA

4-Jul-10 12:09

While using the Article Submission Wizard I got

There was a problem creating your article.

The article contains too much text from the article template. Please remove lines such as
"(Optional) Is there any background to this article that may be useful" etc. that were in the original template.

Now I know for a fact there wasn't a single sentence that matched the boiler-plate text. Not even a single word. Not even a single letter. Huh? Yeah, while my article is still in "composing" state, I'm taking care of meta-data before entering text. The textbox was empty. There was nothing in it. Not a single letter. Yet "too much text from the template"?

Confused | :confused:

PS: yes, occasionally I like to test the unexpected too.

PS/2: So I had to stuff some silly text in there in order to submit my meta-data changes!

Have a look at this[^] question.
The panel in the right side (with the Search, Filter, Tool etc. etc) is placed too high, so it goes above the banner and all the way to the white strip at the top, making it impossible to click the links there.

Happens on Firefox 3.6.6 (haven't checked on other browsers)

Well happens with me too... IE8
But only with this question... probably some HTML content in question or so.

I'm seeing this in the place of the top right and bottom page banner about half the time in opera. I haven't seen it happen in FF, but most of my browsing tonight's been in O.

This document had no style information.

  <head>
    <title/>

  <body style="margin:0px;">
    <script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript" src="/script/AdServe/JS/InsertFlash.js"/>
    <div id="flashcontent" style="width:728px;height:90px">

Sounds like a content-type issue. I've made a nip and tuck. Please let me know if you still see this issue.

Code Colorizer [Colouriser] for C# not case sensitive?

4-Jul-10 4:57

Could we have a page that shows all the ads all at once? that would:
- allow us to click on the one we are suddenly interested in, without having to wait for it to appear in the header accidentally.
- allow us (i.e. you) to monitor all ads so problems are noticed earlier, and identified more easily.

That would be a "feature" IMO.

I've just noticed in a Tip[^] I've just posted...

I have wrapped IntPtr and called the field intPtr and it's colored the same as the type.

Not a major issue but thought it was worth mentioning.

Hi Dave,

some languages need case-insensitive colorization, VB is a prime example. Most languages don't.

There are more anomalies; here is a forum example with lang="cs":

int double float char string IntPtr decimal myForm BigInteger
INT DOUBLE FLOAT CHAR STRING iNTpTR DECIMAL MYfORM bIGiNTEGER

(it looks similar in the T&T environment)

Why are double and float treated differently? or char and string?

Anyway, IntPtr isn't a keyword at all (see here[^]); it is a type, like BigInteger, with one distinction: it resides in System itself. But it isn't a shortcut, not in the way int stands for System.Int32, so I would expect it to be black.

Hi Luc,

Yeah, I assumed that specifying the language using lang="cs" would refelect the language specified Laugh | :laugh:

Again, yes I know, but CP seems to try to recognise all the common classes to make our posts look pretty which is cool Cool | :cool:

From the examples you have given, it seems it may need a little more attention when time allows.

Nice one Chris Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Is it possible to specify our own class names in a tip/article so they get the same treatment?

What's wrong with 'My Vote of 1'?

5-Jul-10 4:49

I'm not a web dev, strictly desktop for me though I've dabbled a little obviously. Perhaps a csv classes attribute in the pre tag?

<pre lang="cs" classes="MyCoolClass,AnotherBigBeastie,CodeProjectHelper">
public class MyCoolClass // <-- Pretty colour here
{
    //...
}
...
</pre>

There are 3 1-votes with NO "My Vote of 1" comment. Has it stopped working or is there some work around to skip it ?

reporting an article, in the new layout, does not yield any Organizer rep points apparently.

According to the FAQ, we're supposed to get 1 point for it, and there is no limit on how many times we can do it. I suspect it's a flaw somewhere, and that once fixed, we will once again experience an adjustment of the reputation points.
