Re: Could not publish XML processing instructions in the article editor

Not sure what you mean. I've checked your article and it looks like the formatting was messed up with the XML part - I've fixed the formatting by correctly HTML encoding the XML as well as removing the extra SPAN tags you had in there.

But when is a Professional profile a 'completed Professional profile'?

Go to "My Settings", the second tab has been renamed to "Professional Profile", fill out all the fields marked with *. Voilà.

It was a little unclear to me if we are supposed to enter our home address or the address where we work. I went with my work address.

[EDIT]Oooh, I have a shiny, new icon. I filled out my profile before I went to bed and did not even notice the new icon until now.[/EDIT]

You are welcome.

Now, where is this Research Library that is mentioned? I guess it is one of those new features they are getting ready to launch. :excited: :eagerlywaiting:

Hi,

When I try to login to RootAdmin, I get this message:

Something bad happened

We're not sure what, but we have a few guesses.
Problem: Name
Ticket: 216095
Server: RA-Web2

I know it's better to post this bug in the "Bugs & Suggestions" forum on RootAdmin, but that's not possible because I can't sign in.

A bad update, and an alert system that failed. I've asked Vince to see what happened with the alert system, but I've fixed the app and it's all back

baffled, as I peruse CP articles, to see in the Status Bar "waiting for FaceBook"

BillWoodruff29-Mar-13 5:06

Tonight, I was reading several CP articles, and readers' comment threads.

I was puzzled by observing, many times, on page re-load, a delay, while the Status Bar showed: "waiting for FaceBook."

On my computer, I have FaceBook completely blocked, as I do Twitter, LinkedIn, and a few thousand other sites.

I personally regard FaceBook, and Twitter, et. al., as modern equivalents of "the Black Death," in terms of their destruction of the collective intelligence of the human species:

"One citizen avoided another, hardly any neighbour troubled about others, relatives never or hardly ever visited each other. Moreover, such terror was struck into the hearts of men and women by this calamity, that brother abandoned brother, and the uncle his nephew, and the sister her brother, and very often the wife her husband. What is even worse and nearly incredible is that fathers and mothers refused to see and tend their children, as if they had not been theirs." Giovanni Boccaccio, describing the Black Death in Florence: Introduction to "The Decameron," Vol. 1., 1348 CE., translated by Richard Aldington, 1930 CE

Is CP doing something with FaceBook: oh, please, let the answer be: "no."

shakily, Bill

“Beginning, middle, and end of birth, growth, and perfection we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action, reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, order.”

Giordano Bruno, cosmologist, philosopher, burned at the stake for heresy on February 17, 1600. When condemned, he said to his Inquisitors: “Perhaps you pronounce this verdict against me with greater fear than I receive it.”

I believe CodeProject now has a federated authentication support with Facebook and Twitter, which might be causing those requests. When I use a Fiddler, after I logon I do not see those requests. Without logging on to CP, I see following requests:

It's just the "Like" button.

Some people dislike Facebook. Some people like to use it to share what they find. Both are fine in my book.

Hi Chris,

That there should be like buttons, or whatever, for FB, Twit, etc., doesn't bother me in the least.

However, seeing page-loads delay because they are "waiting for FaceBook" bothers me, and makes me curious: if all that's happening is loading an IMG tag with a small FB logo with an associated Click event, and a page URL, shouldn't the graphic get load once and then get cached, and never need loading again, since the only thing changing per page would be the URL associated with the IMG's Click event ?

thanks, Bill

Defamatory content in CodeProject

Vasudevan Deepak Kumar29-Mar-13 3:57

29-Mar-13 3:57

The article (PHP Security[^]) has an introductory text like " It may appear that most PHP scripts aren't sensitive to security concerns; this is mainly due to the large number of inexperienced programmers working in the language. " which is kind of a derogatoary and disgusting comment besides being defamatory in nature against the PHP application.

Hardly defamatory, and given the many samples of poorly written, and downright dangerous code presented by posters here, it is more than likely true.

Use the best guess

I admit that the thought carried by the body of the article is true but the introductory (opening) text is very dis-heartening and not expected from the profile of a person who is supposedly leading an organization. At least that offending text can be removed off.

Please give due respect to authors. We have no buisness to get involved in his/her private life. If we find such things can be improved, we can always have a word with the author to correct the statements. Even I agree whatever statments the author has made on PHP security about "inexperienced programmers working in the language" is not correct.
