Code samples in Technical BLOG got trashed

The Asp.Net web site where I originate by BLOG updated to Orchard CMS.

This caused 3 articles to be resubmitted to Code Project automatically. Someone approved them.

Now the code has the originally formatting which doesn't work here.

I couldn't find anyway to roll them back to the previous version. Is there a way to roll back to earlier versions?

Thanks.

Actually they are exact duplicates of their originals, so I simply deleted the duplicates (the new posts). Thank you kindly for reporting this!

There weren't exact duplicates, I used CopyAsHTML to format the code in the original BLOG. When they get moved to Code Project I painfully reformat the code. (The markup was different).

This one is still messed up:
CSS3 box-shadow and Visual Studio Features[^]

These two have the code correct but the images are gone.
Secret Covert Hush-Hush White Space in the DOM…EXPOSED![^]
Google and Bing Map APIs Compared[^]

I think the asp.net web site moved the images: That should be easy for me to fix.

Could I have deleted the new versions myself or is that an admin-only feature?

I've rescued the formatting on the one, and fixed the images on another. I can see you working away at the third.

And once your technical blog entry has been approved, you can then delete it.

Thanks Sean.

>>I can see you working away at the third.

Unfortunately, I was unable to fix the third article.

Secret Covert Hush-Hush White Space in the DOM…EXPOSED![^]

I tried editing the article directly and copying the HTML to notepad, working on that and then pasting it back in. In both cases the article gets corrupted. Apparently I am too stupid to use the Code Project editor. Or perhaps there is another explanation.

>> And once your technical blog entry has been approved, you can then delete it.

That doesn't make sense to me. Hopefully, you can also fix the third article.

Thanks again,

Steve Wellens

Look at my today's posted question : Click events of Dynamically generated Checkboxes[^]. Me and Tadit both seeing the text something like these : first and second and Even_the_comment_box.

Further, i didn't get any notification of comments to my question except first two.

As I told you in the question, I think that comes because a pair of <code></code> tags is not correctly matching. Or there is one <code> without a </code>

New editor copies html tags

Hello

I edited my article[^] by pasting html code in the new editor.
The preview had some problems:
. Some html comments appear in the previewed text.
. 'Span' tags appear in source code blocks.
. pictures does not display (wrong address ?).

I suggest to check these problems.

In the end, I have had to use the old editor, which worked fine.

Thank you.

I recall that I had to fix the span problem for you (in a previous version of the article), even though you have used the old editor back then. Can you provide us the information you see here[^]?

I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Thank you for the last version. This time no problem with the old editor, maybe it has been fixed meanwhile.

I use FireFox 29.0.1 on Windows. For more informations, please give me an email address (private reply is enable below).

The information you provided should be sufficient. I'm not a CodeProject staff member, but Sean will take care of the problem once you emailed him what you have pasted.

I noted that recently clicking on some of the links in my Reputation History item link me to this article

It may be intersting to note that this article that I was directed to has exceptional download figure in hundred of thousands, but the view figure is less than 20 thousands.

I was just going to write a similar post because I noticed the spike in the Reputation graph of the author of that article. There is definitely something wrong.

Articles opened from bookmark do not show "bookmark"

Hi Team,

I normally bookmark all interesting articles and sometimes while looking for references, I go to my bookmarks and open articles from there. Lately, I have observed that when I open a bookmarked article, the "star" representing the bookmark on the right hand side of the article does not appear as solid. As a result, I often get confused, as to whether the article has been opened from bookmarks or not. Can you please look into this issue?

Showing an indication that an article has been opened from a bookmark list (as opposed to from anywhere else) isn't a feature we've implemented, nor, if I'm to be honest, is it something high on our priorities.

Sorry - I just can't see it as a killer feature.

"About Article" summary seems to strip HTML entities

In my article: Considerations on Efficient use of LINQ Extension Methods[^] I tried to use < and > entities in the Summary ("1-line description") specifically:
IEnumerable<T>
but it ended up with just the IEnumerable
It appears as if the <T> was stripped.
Thoughts?
Or am I imagining the whole problem...
(I'm pretty sure I used the markup in that part of the submission wizard.)

A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.
