Dear CodeProject's Team,
Today, I've made minor updates of my article Dockerize A Simple Web-Application Created By Using Python, Flask and PostgreSQL[^]. After that I still could not find Docker subsection under Web Development » Applications & Tools ». I've selected the different subsection. My article was successfully updated, *BUT*, not longer displayed in the list of Docker Contest entries.
Please help me to correct this.
Thanks in advance.

I think you'll be able to find the section now. Also, I see your article in the Entries now can you see it there?
Thanks,

Sean, Thanks a lot for your reply. Both, Docker section has become available and my article has appeared in the entries list again.
Thanks a lot for your assistance.

When one searches Code Project site for articles, the initial list is sorted by “Relevance”. What is the definition of Relevance? In other words what makes one article more relevant than another article?
|
|
|
|

We use Lucene.Net for our search engine. It determines the relevance based on the number of times the search terms are found in an item, the size of the item's content or searched field and a boost we calculate base on the item's type and popularity.
It can really get quite tricky to get good relevance, especially with programming oriented articles where you need to index tokens that aren't what would normal be considered words.
Lucene.Net is really fast. In fact, in most cases, it is faster than the equivalent search in SQL, and we have a monster of a SQL Server.

Thanks for your reply. I sometimes search using one word and it looks like the list is random list of articles. However, I noticed that I can change based on popularity.

The more words you include in the search, the narrow the list of items returned.
For example searching for C# Dependency Injection will only return items that contain all three terms.
Also, on the left are a number of filter you can use to further narrow the search.
Similarilarly, many of the fields in the returned result list can be clicked on to drill down, things like the Author, Tags, Categories, ...

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but I seem to be randomly missing links from the community menu. Which ones depends on where I am at that moment, tried on different browsers and clearing my cache just to make sure it wasn't something simple.
So from the home page, I've got:
- Who's Who
- Most Valuable Professionals
- The Lounge
- Where I Am: Member Photos
- The Weird & The Wonderful
- Press Releases
- Non-English Language >
From The Lounge, it includes all the same links plus one to The Insider News. However, if I open The Insider News, suddenly that link disappears. None of them include a link for the Soapbox (not that it is a HUGE loss, but still).
This happened before a couple weeks back and then suddenly fixed itself. Some examples of how it looks from each page so I can prove later on that I'm not (completely) crazy.
From home page, From The Lounge, and From The Insider News
Edit: ARG! When I edit this post all the links under the Community menu appear! Bugs/Suggs is the same list as The Lounge. Also went and checked the console, no errors being thrown except for some Cross-Origin blocking for ads. Did a search in the source for the missing menu items and couldn't find the text.

It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

If I open a Q&A item to edit it, and I click on "cancel" I land in the home page, instead of landing in the previous page.
Cancelling the edition of a message here, bring me back to the same page and to the item where I clicked "edit" (it doesn't matter if page 1 or page 5)

If I open CP with adblock on, the CSS is getting blocked for some reason. I tried it yesterday. Don't know if this has always been the case as I have CP in the "good site" list.

I often have to make manual edits to my imported blog posts.
I've recently started using GitHub Gists, which are script tags on my site and get replaced with empty p tags on CP.
The result is that my blogs on CP don't have any code initially.
They're also often in the wrong section (some IoT contest) and have wrong or incomplete tags.
So I almost always need to fix my imported blogs manually.
But they're published automatically, so my readers don't get the full experience if I'm not around to fix my post right away.
Especially missing code is troublesome as they can make an awesome post into a meh post.
Can it be an option to import blogs in a draft state?
That would be very nice

That's a lot of requests in one go!
1. Gists: We now support gists in articles. Not sure if this will work with the blog importer - I've not had a chance to check
2. Wrong section: Yep, this is a constant issue and something we've been discussing for a long time, and is sort of related to...
3. Tags. The only real option we have, apart from our auto-tag-extractor, is to give you a way of supplying tags yourself. Given that many blog engines won't let you customise the RSS output at all, I'm open to suggestions. Maybe some json+ld we could parse?
4. Importing to Draft. Interesting idea. We'd rather just make it work though, but I get your point.
cheers

Speaking about improving blogs...
There are blogs that get edited by staff or high rep members and end changed to article. I suppose this is because the editor defaults the type to the "article" and one should consciously change it back...
It would be better if the active "type" get already selected when opening a publication in edit mode.

Actually, it was just one question.
1. I hadn't considered this. It would be cool if it worked, but I simply assumed I'd have to edit my post to the CP standard (which is pre tags). It doesn't work with the blog importer, I assume because you guys don't import script tags because they could be malicious and Gists work with scripts.
2. I wasn't asking about this as I know you guys already know about this
3. See 2.
On a side-note here, WordPress does put categories and tags in the RSS feed, except it makes no distinction between the two.
<category><![CDATA[Azure]]></category>
<category><![CDATA[CodeProject]]></category>
<category><![CDATA[Programming]]></category>
<category><![CDATA[Software Development]]></category> Etc.
4. That was my actual question, I'd have this on by default even if points 1 to 3 were fixed, just for a quick review just in case

Before there was a counter "vXX" in the Q&A items. Where it could be checked what has changed between one version and the other one...
is that not possible anymore?

As far as I can see, it's still there. The only time it doesn't appear is if the item hasn't been edited.

An example: what is XCOPY I:\*.* F:\ /E /F /H ? is a question of 2013, and I wanted to check, who did the improvement and what was changed
But can't see the vXX Link or the name of the editor as I reported previously.
I don't know if it has something to do with being at work, but I can't see it (I will check it this afternoon at home)
[EDIT]
Weird... this other question below in the list... Generate popup using windows service does got it:

The Updated information applies to the whole thread and not only the question itself. The date of the XCOPY question has been updated because a new solution has been posted. Simple to recognise in this case but hard when the new solution has been removed meanwhile for being spam.

Jochen Arndt wrote: The date of the question has been updated because a new solution has been posted TBH that makes not really sense for me. The second example has come back to the beginning of the list due to a new solution too, but the timestamp of the question itself is the same as it was.

That has been AFAIK changed some time ago upon request:
When the solution is removed (as in the second example), the update timestamp is reset to the previous state.
However, I would expect it then to have the timestamp of the newest solution because that was after the last edit.

That's what I don't understand... why with one yes and with the other not
