Do you really want to trawl through three months worth of XML looking for some particular article, when you can download it yourself any time you like?

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately I cannot download article from CodeProject any time I like due to limited internet access.

If Code Project team plans to provide regular data dump of articles or other contents for offline browsing, I would expect an offline browser as well.

FYI, Stack Overflow provides Stackdump, an offline browser trawling through off-line XML data :

Richard,

My previous reply was not clear enough. Sorry for the confusion.

My internet access is only limited when I need to work in areas where no internet access is available.

At home, I can download data dumps without problem.

I hope this answers your question.

Then download all the articles you want or need to have when you are at home, and then use them in you work or wherever you are.

Codeproject is not wikipedia.

Here a simple tip to save your download-GBs. Don't save the article in normal view. Use the Print icon in the article, it loads only the article content(removes unnecessary things like ads, etc.,) & now save as page. See this sample article,

Given the number of bloggers who seem to rip off CodeProject articles but leave the images hosted on the CodeProject domain, would it be a good idea to block image hotlinking?

Moderation - How to view past comments?

thatraja18-Dec-13 23:11

18-Dec-13 23:11

Is there anyway to view my past comments for pending articles?

I have checked revisions of articles but not able to see my comments there @ bottom. For example, I have posted a comment for the below article. And Author did some changes(but not complete), re-submitted & it's on pending queue, but still my previous comment is valid for current revision(still formatting is not good).
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=105783&aid=697807[^]

So please provide an option to view previous comments. In past, I have posted suggestions like bunch of list(around 10 items). We could type suggestions again but sometime it's hard to remember all. So copy-paste needed Blush | :O

And again I admit that I'm a lazy one

If you go through your events history, can you land in that "draft version", or searching in forum messages per author name?

in your example:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?aid=697807&av=1027976&msg=4724421#xx4724421xx[^]

found in:
http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx?q=author%3a+thatraja&doctypeid=6[^] message title "formatting" in the description it shows the name of the article where it was written

I appreciate your alternative way, already I tried that but the thing is I can't view those messages(messages @ previous revisions) though it loads the appropriate article(s).

Android month

I know that you can only choose from the articles that are submitted, but there looks like a heavy Intel bias in the feature articles list for Android month, considering the overwhelming use of ARM in mobile devices.

Pete O'Hanlon18-Dec-13 23:05

So write some articles that don't target Intel articles. The team cannot conjure up articles that are not there, so it's up to us - the community - to provide the things that are missing.

Did you miss the bit where I said: "I know that you can only choose from the articles that are submitted..."?

It was less a criticism than an observation I made when I went there to learn about programming for Android. Considering that CPU-agnostic Java is Android's main development platform, and ARM is by far the most common mobile CPU, so many articles about Android on Intel looked odd.

I wish I had the time to become familiar enough with Android development to write an article! Smile | :)

No I didn't miss it. It just seemed to me that this thread doesn't add anything to knowing this. We know there aren't many none-Intel articles in there, but it's up to us to write the missing articles.

There are many people who want to learn about Android, so even having articles that describe a beginners journey in Android programming would provide great benefit if the article was well written. Not all articles have to be about how to use the most obscure, difficult features of a platform/language, so this is your opportunity to help address that gap.
