Hi all,
This is my debut on article writing on CP. I have sketched out a small one describing the usage and the points to keep in mind the usage of @font-face of CSS3, titled "Using custom fonts in your webpage by leveraging modern CSS3".
My question is, is this an article or a tip? And how should it be tagged?
Please help.
|
|

|

Sounds like a tip to me. I'd tag it with CSS.
|
|
|
|
|
It's totally an introduction of the CSS3 @font-face rule...
Anyways, i'll post it under tips and tricks soon.
Thank you 
|

Good for you. I look forward to reading it.

I posted an article regarding web service .. could any body tell me why its not yet approved..?
|
|
|
|

you appear to have posted it only 3 hours ago as I view this, I'm in GMT+10. It is the weekend, for most of the world, CP doesnt have full time staff around the clock, looking to approve (or not) articles.
SO most people, will be out getting a life
Since you asked about your article, I went and had a look - there's some minor formatting flaws, but, what sh*ts me, the font you used is atrocious.. so maybe you'd prefer I didnt go back and post a comment after all, and wait patiently for others to view it

Hello, I'd like to ask a questions about deleted articles.
in particular that one:
Handling OS Events in Windows XP and Vista[^]
it was very informative, interesting and very helpfull article. But now this article is unavailable. I'd like to ask - is there any possibility to read this article one more time
|
|
|
|
|
I believe the author may have deleted it themselves. In these cases we cannot resurrect articles that have crossed over. It's too dangerous.
Thanks,

In such case, maybe my question will be silly, but... how can I wrote a message to the author. I clicked in his account but didn't see there nothing like: "mail to author, contact, etc." Does this site provide such possibility?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I normally wouldn't advocate this, but you could always post an off topic question on his other article[^]

Why was my article (DragonSharq Web Browser: Safe Browsing / Source Viewing[^] ) considered a tip/trick? I included code and explained how it works and everything. I even explained some extended issues with debugging threaded code.
It took me many hours to write the code and then write the article and it is a bit of a let down.
Also, I use an RSS reader and my article shows up as a new item there, but it doesn't show up on the main page? Why is that? It is because it is a tip/trick?

I've changed it to be an article

Having a real difficulty getting my code sample pasted into my article. Using Google Chrome browser as editor. Have done this before and it worked.
I paste the code as expected from notepad -- plain text. The trouble occurs when I choose the "formatted" option to format the selection as code.
I'm editing this message to let you know, I am running on Windows 7. I don't know what that apple-tab-span thing is.
It ends up giving me this (below) (from preview mode): (please help) thanks
private void GetWebSource()
{
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>string strUri = urlComboBox.Text;
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">
</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>if (strUri.Length == 0)
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>return;
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>// Call helper method to insure that the URL is valid -- check it starts with http:// or https://
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>strUri = CheckForUrlPrefix(strUri);
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">
</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>urlComboBox.Text = strUri;
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">
</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>bool isAdded = visitedUrls.TryAdd(strUri.ToUpper(),strUri);
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>// If the url hasn't already been added to the drop list navigation add it so user can select it again later
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>if (isAdded)
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>{
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>

Ok. Quick update. I tried various ways to get it to work and multiple tries at copy / paste. I was finally successful only because I was able to paste into the sample code area that the default article template gives you. I believe this is still a valid problem though.

It's due to this issue[^]. What version of Chrome are you using?
I'll put in a hack to clean it out.

Sorry I forgot to provide the version of Chrome I'm using. Probably doesn't matter now, but it is version Version 26.0.1410.64 m.

I am trying to post a new article. When I copy some text from Notepad and paste the text to CodeProject article editor, all the current text inside the editor is shrinked to one single big paragraph.
For example, if following is the current text inside the editor:
Line 1 in paragraph 1; line 2.
Line 2 in paragraph 2.
Line 3.
Now if I paste the text abcd to be after Line3, the editor will become this:
Line 1 in paragraph 1; line 2.Line 2 in paragraph 2.Line 3.abcd
I have posted a few articles before and never had this problem. Is there any setting I have missed?

Which browser?
Also, are you pasting into design (WYSIWYG) mode or in HTML view mode?

Internet Explorer, both version 9 and 10.
I am pasting into design mode.
What do you mean by HTML view mode? Do you mean the HTML editor? Yes, I can modify the raw HTML text, but that is soooo painful.

The raw HTML.
So you paste something like
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Into the WYSIWYG editor and it comes out as
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
Is that right?

I have found a workaround for this problem: use FireFox not IE.

When it's working on IE11/Win8.1, I get the HTML formatting that you mentioned above, and while that's a little annoying (because it's hard to find stuff when going into HTML view), I can live with that.
But to me, the "copy/paste doesn't work" line actually means that sometimes (read: very frequently) when I copy/paste into WYSIWYG/design view, the paste action crashes IE and on restarting IE, I have lost all of my edits since the last save. That made using design-view impossible, and HTML view just doesn't fly for a long article. This is why I decided to write my article in Expression Web and then send CP the file when it was done.
Not sure if this belongs here or in the Site Bugs forum... ?

Hi,
Recently I have posed an article but its status is showing as closed. Feedback I received is quality is poor. Can admins please send me the detailed feedback so that I can keep in mind while writing the next article as this was my first time writing an article.
Be a good professional who shares programming secrets with others.

Hi Mohammed,
I have re-opened your tip and I can see you got some helpful tips. The user is correct, primarily you are sharing a link, which is not quite the design we had in mind for Tips and Tricks. We appreciate you trying to help out the development community (it's what we're all about) but in this case it might be best to re-think your idea and start fresh. I will send you some great articles to get you started on writing for CodeProject.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington
