Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Re: WTF Chris Maunder3-Mar-12 10:44 Chris Maunder 3-Mar-12 10:44  A case of a bad error message. The message had been marked as abuse in between you starting to post, and actually posting your reply. You can't reply to closed messages. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: WTF Luc Pattyn3-Mar-12 10:49 Luc Pattyn 3-Mar-12 10:49  Chris Maunder wrote: A case of a bad error message OK Chris Maunder wrote: The message had been marked as abuse... Are you sure? When it failed to accept my message, I reloaded the page and the ad message was still there, not removed yet. It was only then that I hit the "Remove" widget, which resulted in a score of 1 (3 votes).

The changes you have made to your alternative tip 'Could not find a part of the path while doing a File Copy' (http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/142949/Could-not-find-a-part-of-the-path-while-doing-a-Fi) have been approved and your article is now publicly available. I think a recent change to CP hosed it up, and it looks like it is now an original tip instead of being the alternative tip that it actually is. Luk voted it as if it was its own tiup, and left a comment, but I can't find the comment anywhere on CP.

I've fixed this, but the original tip has been deleted which means that all alternatives are also deleted. Doing this made sense in the old system, but I'll make a change so that even if the original article is nuked, the alternatives live on. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Something's Gone Sideways #realJSOP3-Mar-12 12:47 #realJSOP 3-Mar-12 12:47  But on its own, an alternative tip won't always make sense. I see two possible solutions: 0) Remove all alternatives when the original is deleted 1) When an original is "deleted", it becomes non-votable, non-editable, and the poster looses/gains points as appropriate. That way, the alternatives that remain have some context.

If they write them as something that can stand on its own, then there's less of a problem. When articles are deleted they are usually deleted because either they are spam, they are too poor to be displayed, or because the author really doesn't want it visible anymore. In all cases it doesn't make sense to still show the content. Kinda defeats the purpose of deleting something. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP add comment to tip Luc Pattyn3-Mar-12 3:43 Luc Pattyn 3-Mar-12 3:43  Having all kinds of articles (real and tiny ones) unified seems like a good idea. All isn't well yet though: I couldn't find a way to add a message to an existing tip (this one[^]) under the new presentation, I was hoping to find a "Add new message" button/widget but didn't see one. I was however capable of voting and typing some text in the tiny box one then gets (why does it have to be such a hobgoblin box anyway?). And then, I can't see the message that I hope I created??? [ADDED] I was rewarded one participant point for an "Add Comment" event, so the message probably exists [/ADDED] Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Re: add comment to tip thatraja3-Mar-12 4:13 thatraja 3-Mar-12 4:13  Yep, also existing comments/messages are missing in Alternate Tips/Tricks(Sample one - How to detect browser close when browser [X] is clicked ?[^]). thatraja FREE Code Conversion VB6 ASP VB.NET C# ASP.NET C++ JAVA PHP DELPHI ColdFusion HTML Marquee & its alternatives Nobody remains a virgin, Life screws everyone Re: add comment to tip #realJSOP3-Mar-12 5:39 #realJSOP 3-Mar-12 5:39  You made a comment on an alternative tip I made (I think it's the one you posted above) that appears to now be posted as it's own tip. Something Chris did is hosing things up a bit. (And I'm not sure a vote of 3 is applicable in that context - ).

And you're right about things currently being hosed up in T&T land. Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Re: add comment to tip Chris Maunder3-Mar-12 7:15 Chris Maunder 3-Mar-12 7:15  All fixed. A few stragglers were missing forums but they have been added.

Re: This is Odd Chris Maunder3-Mar-12 7:17 Chris Maunder 3-Mar-12 7:17  We moved a bunch of comments into forums as part of the UI update to tips and tricks. Since we moved them yesterday, that's when the rep points were awarded. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: This is Odd Chris Meech3-Mar-12 7:28 Chris Meech 3-Mar-12 7:28  Thanks Chris. Did the comments then get moved back? And wouldn't the points be removed if the comment was moved back out of a forum. What's confusing is that it isn't a forum message, but rather an article comment. It's not a big deal. Just my thick skull trying to understand. Chris Meech I am Canadian.

We actually have two comment systems: The original forum system, which is used to allow comments to be made to articles, and a lighter weight Comment system that is used for Quick Answers (and previously Tips). Tips used to have comments attached to them. We've ditched this and instead moved to having Forums attached to tips (same as articles) and so we've imported the comments attached to tips into the new forums we've created for each tip. I hope that, um, clears it up. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: This is Odd Chris Meech3-Mar-12 18:12 Chris Meech 3-Mar-12 18:12  Thanks Chris.

Issue #1. When I do so, I noticed that the "Tip" tab is highlighted, even though it's not the primary tip. Maybe add a dynamic tab "Alternate Tip" that only displays when viewing an alternate tip? I suspect this also applies to articles, though I haven't seen any alternate articles yet. Issue #2. When I visit the latest articles page, there are checkboxes for everything except for "Alternative Article". Thou mewling ill-breeding pignut! Re: Observations / Suggestions for Alternate Tips/Articles Chris Maunder5-Mar-12 7:24 Chris Maunder 5-Mar-12 7:24  Fixed, and will be fixed this afternoon. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Grab Article Titles Faster on Link Paste AspDotNetDev2-Mar-12 12:17 AspDotNetDev 2-Mar-12 12:17  When I paste a link to a Code Project article, the title is filled in for me. Looks like you probably use some AJAX to to ask the server for the title, which takes a second or two. You could probably avoid that AJAX call as follows... When I paste a link to an article, I typically have the article open in another window. That means you could drop a cookie when a user visits an article to associate the article ID (or even the full URL) with an article title. When a user pastes a link to that article, the cookie can be inspected to get the article title. As a fallback, you could still hit the server with some AJAX. Thou mewling ill-breeding pignut!
