How to fix bad download links in my article?

I recently updated my article at:
ExpTreeLib Version 3 - Explorer-like Navigation and Operation for your Forms[^]
The major parts of the update were new versions of the article Source and Demo downloads.
I obviously did not understand how to upload new versions of these zips. I uploaded the new zips with new names (indicating the version differences). In my note to the editor, I pointed out that I had new versions of the zips, but that does not seem to enough.
The article text has changed, but the download links are still pointing to the old versions of the zips.
How can I fix this?

Hi Jim,

I think I saw the updated files and have changed them, please let me know if those are the correct ones.

Thanks,

Thanks, that has accomplished almost all of what is needed.
The almost part is that the Fourth download link should be removed since it points to the older version of the Demo download.
The line/link to remove reads "Download demo Project - 81.5 KB".

Thanks for the fixup. All is good now Smile | :)

I do have a question though.
If I want to update the download files, how do I do it correctly using the Wizard?
I rather suspect that my problem was caused by "Add Files" when my new files did not have the same name as the files they were to replace. Is this a correct suspicion?
I am inclined to think that there is some virtue in having different versions have a version marker in the name to distinguish them from the old, but if that causes problems, then I could (probably) live with it.

If you update them by the same name, the old files should be replaced after you hit "Publish." If you use a new file name, I would recommend deleting the existing files from the HTML (you can from the article too if you want) and upload the new files, hit the "Add selected zip files to article". If you didn't delete the files from the article you will have to remove the entries you don't want from the HTML. This little entry may help:

Hi there,

Is it allowed to post an article containing a video ?
This could be an a youtube-hosted video that should show on a rectangular area, not an hypertext link.

Thanks.

You won't be able to put a link in your YouTube video in an article yourself. But I'd be happy to review the article and the YouTube link if you email them to me. (I can put them YouTube videos into articles for you)

Place the keyword CodeProject within the <category> element that is the direct child of <channel>. This marks all items within the channel as consumable.

For a blogspot blog the best route might be to use a Rel-Tag per post as described here: Code Project Technical Blog FAQ[^]

If you have any questions or run into any problems please let me know and I'd be happy to help.

Major article review: better a new article?

Wasp.NET13-Nov-12 4:28

Hello

A few months ago I wrote this:

ElmahR = ELMAH + SignalR

The article is quickly getting obsolete because the project kept on evolving, I'm keeping its content updated only in the "History" section, but basically I'm planning to rewrite it from scratch in order to reflect the project status. What would you recommend in this case? Do the rewrite in place, releasing an updated version of the same article, or writing a new one with a new title on the same topic (but with pretty different content)?

Thanks

Wasp

I would update the article in-place. The revision history is available for those curious as to what went on before.

Technical blog not polling

It says on my Technical Blog Feeds page that blogs are polled for new content every hour, yet it hasn't polled the one I posted three days ago (Friday 9 November), though it is tagged "CodeProject" as per instructions, and is on top of the feed[^].

The previous article, posted October 17th, also went unnoticed for many days. Neither then nor now did clicking on the the "Update now" graphic do anything.

Would be grateful to know if polling frequency has been turned way down, or if there is somethign I can do to speed things up.

Cheers,
Orjan

You have posted this in the wrong forum. This forum is for people who are writing articles. As for your question, if people haven't answered it, it generally means one of the following:

Your question is so badly worded that no one understands it.
You have asked about something that is specific to a particular vendor.
The right people haven't seen it.
No one knows the answer.

The people who answer questions do so voluntarily. Give it time.

Someone downvoted all user comments under my article

Someone has downvoted almost all user comments on my article[^]. And this is really annoying for me and for the users that wrote comment under my article. (Example: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4421275/Re-My-vote-of-5.aspx[^])
Can we find who downvoted comments for no reason? I want to learn his problem. He have to be banned I think...

Non-Article Really Just a Link to an Off-Site Article... Is That Allowed?

I noticed A deeper look at the Intel IvyBridge Ultrabook is really just a few sentences and link to an off-site article. Looks like it got edited/approved by Smitha Vijayan. Does Code Project really allow "articles" that are just links to off-site articles? I know that blogs can be imported, but that's not the case here... it's really just a link to another article.

We’ve run a series of Ultrabook reviews and in general, they are OK. But we’ve spoken to the author about this one - either beefing it up or changing it. Hope to get it updated ASAP.

Weird behaviour trying to comment on article.

I have been trying to comment on this article[^], but there seem to be multiple versions bouncing around, and my comments are getting out of sync. Is it me or something at your end?

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

He put his article up and then made changes to it immediately. And then it looks like he updated it again, so there's probably a few versions you've seen/been commenting on.
