Re: Autoupdated Links ruining the article - Article Writing Discussion Boards

Thank you kindly. I have submitted it to the forum.

IMO if it is going to exceed two screenfulls, it is an article; if it fits on a single screen, it is a tip; and between 1 and 2, either add some or delete some content!

I posted this [[article]] a day back, after submission I can see all links for download being updated ie. "/Working" removed from the URL.
But as soon as link is updated, files are not available for download. I even lost the image uploaded.
Can somebody please suggest what to be done?

Hi perilbrain,

Your article should be good now.

Sincerely,
Elina Blank

Life is great!!! Enjoy every moment of it! Blush | :O

Thankyou Elina,
Could you suggest a way to reformat the XML file, I am afraid it will again strike off the download files.If you can help ... I am pasting the XML here.

Hi perilbrain,

I touched it up. How does that look?

Thanks,
Sean Ewington

ow,

pardon me, but you have touched the wrong place. Wink | ;)

basically the previous XML was for nasm.xml and you have replaced the code for nasm.targets which contained all the explanation. Its good no body yet shouted on me.
But could you please update that?
please replace this one

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><br />
<ProjectSchemaDefinitions xmlns="<a href="http://schemas.microsoft.com/build/2009/properties">http://schemas.microsoft.com/build/2009/properties</a />" >

with the previous XML I had messaged [its just above the TABLE] and please recover the old replaced XML for the nasm.targets as it has got the articles heart.

Is this some sort of bug?? if you format the XML, the code after a bad tag/attribute(not blaming MS Wink | ;)

) automatically gets stripped out of article !!!!!!!

Whoospie daisies. Apologies. I've made the changes correctly now, please take a peek and let me know.

very very thanks for your hard work, It really looks beautiful now. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

I've posted an alternative to a tip, but can't find that alternative in the respective tab. Even it says that there are five alternatives, only four are listed...
The links:

I'm pretty sure that I clicked on the "Add your alternative tip" button on the original tip to write mine. Maybe I did something wrong...

Can anyone please have a look at this?

Thanks
Andi

Thanks for pointing this out. Should be good now.

I just updated my article and after submission the source code download would not work. Clicking the link would display a blank page. I opened the submission wizard again and there were two copies of my zip file. I deleted them both and hand deleted the HTML relating to the link. I added the file back, uploaded the file, and added the file to my article. Now in preview mode clicking the link displays a page that says No download file was specified. Will it be there after submission?

A Complete Read Only ComboBox[^]

I took a stab at it and it seems to work now. Did you add the file to the article like this? Code Project Article FAQ[^]

Thanks,

I went back to the submission editor and refreshed the page. My changes to the article are lost and I'm back to two files, both from today. I'll try again after looking at the FAQ.

I removed both of the files, made my changes to the article, added the file back, clicked the insert link icon according to the FAQ and still when previewing I get "No download file was specified.". Here's the HTML of the link:

XML

<ul class="download">
<li><a href="CompleteReadOnlyComboBox.zip">Download source and test project</a></li></ul>

Not only do you steal your articles, you steal your answers as well.

You are a thief of other people's intellectual property.

he post the comment for me how dare to he say me like thief?. who give him right to write like this. is code project is Pete O'Hanlon's private property.

You may want to complain about me here[^]. And, as I said there, this was someone else's work - you stole their work and attempted to pass it off as your own. It's called copyright theft.

No, but I take that "Site protector" icon by my name very, very seriously, and I don't take kindly to anyone who could cause legal trouble for Code Project. I hate to say it bubba, but I don't think you're going to get much sympathy.

i am sorry. i have not read the cpol carefully my mistake forgive me. it's not my intension. but today i have already posted another articale which was stolen from same book next chapter. in excitment of artical post on site. please don't post this articale.

Ok, as long as you've learned the lesson, there's no hard feelings. Take the time to come up with your own articles - it's a whole lot more rewarding. You get a much better feeling when people praise you for your ideas than for someone else's.
