Hello,
I have added a new article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/SolarCalculator.aspx and I was wondering why it the status is still pending. Are the reviewers busy or did I do something wrong and should I change something?
Thanks for the feedback,

you're very impatient, aren't you? You did publish on a Sunday, most members may have been doing other stuff...

|

No, I don't think so  . Just wanted to make sure that I didn't missed anything
Thanks!

Hi there,
I'm working on my very first article for CodeProject and I'd like to embed a video of the demo application I'm building in the article. I'd like to have a Silverlight player to do so.
I'm using Expression Web 3 to edit the HTML of the article. How can I embed the video player to make it compatible with CodeProject ?
Regards,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
Unfortunately we cannot embed video at this time
Some day we hope to!

Im working on an article and its getting really big, on this article I address more than one subject, and the subjects depend on previous subjects. Instead of posting one big article, Can I split the article in multiple parts?
|
|
|
|

of course you can, it has been done many times. Here[^] is one example.
There may be some tricky things about it, such as providing a download for each of the parts (you can't expect to have only one download, with the last part); and providing an overall table of contents (more content increases the need for a TOC). And it helps when you know how many parts there's going to be, so you can title them "ZZZ (part X of Y)".
So most of the time I expect it boils down to writing all parts before publishing any of them. But even that is not a must.

Using Code Rocket's Flowchart and Pseudocode Tool Support[^]
The post smelled bad to me so I googled dude's name and coderocket and he has been plugging this commercial product everywhere in the guise of an enthusiastic user.
Something about that just chaps my hide. Kind of like the 'news' story with the small print 'advertisement' disclaimer or the infomercial posing as a news story.
Anyway - that's just my opinion, but I am not alone judging from the comments.

Some members posted some suggestions as alternates on one of my tips.
I am going to implement the suggestion and am guessing that 'accept alternate' is an appropriate action but what happens when I do so.

Your tip will merge with their changes. There is versioning so you can always revert if you're unhappy

Thanks.
An error was reported when it tried to merge. I am guessing that is because the alternate is just a sentence describing an improvement. In any case, I will just upvote and credit the guy.

I have seen this post up as Editors Choice for more than 8 weeks, not necessarily consecutive. As if someone has decided that it really needs a lot of exposure and keeps placing it.
?!?
Aside from the fact that it makes it clear that there is no one responsible for ensuring that interesting and new content is linked on the landing page, the code itself is novelty and not entirely practical.
I used to be proud when one of my posts made it to editor's choice, now not so much.
Is anyone running the joint?

Articles are picked when an Editor sees an article they really like. There's no schedule, and no quota. An editor might see a string of C# articles and pick 10 in a week, or they may not see a Java article that blows them away for a month. Each category (C++, C#, etc) will display whatever the latest editor's choice article can be found within that given category.
If you're not proud to have your article chosen then I don't know what to say, other than it saddens me.

Thanks for the response.
I hope I am not being petty, but with the number of high quality and useful posts you receive and number of page views the landing page gets I would hope that front page exposure would be kept fresh and interesting.
Dude, I live for the moment I see my name on the front page! That is what brought this issue to my attention. Tag Cloud was up for a few intervals and then I made it for a few days and then Tag Cloud went back up and stayed for over a month. I noticed this. Don't misunderstand me, I am not jealous or complaining about not staying on the front page, just wondering at the seemingly capricious nature of the Editor's Choice.
Cheers.

Wait no longer.
I thought I'd selected one of blog entries as an Editor's Choice before. I show your blog entries to bloggers who need guidance.

Yes, several of my posts have been selected, and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Hi,
I have been doing MFC C++ and have an idea for an article
what is the process for submission etc...
thankx
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
there are some guidelines here[^]; close to the top of that page is the link to the Article Submission Wizard.
It may be worthwhile to look at some of the articles already on CodeProject. You could also ask for a mentor, who would guide you. Not sure how exactly that works.
|
|
|
|
|
How about I tell you about my idea and you tell me if its worhwhile
here its
"Making a Modless Dialog a Main Window"
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
I haven't done any MFC myself the last ten years, so I can't really comment. I suggest you expand that title to a first paragraph, you know the one that people read to decide whether to read on or not; and then wait for a few people here to react.
