The article editor already corrects broken HTML. The problem is that it can't read minds so that the way it makes corrections and the way you may want the corrections made can be two very different things

OK - so let's extend this idea to allow the editor to pick up corrections by telepathy.

I've been looking for plug-ins that will do that but none of them are free. As if I'm going to pay good money for something that should be so simple...

Have you considered making the forums themselves all XML based? I'm not suggesting you store the messages in XML format, but perhaps you could create a web service/internal class that allows you to request a certain page or something like that and then the class creates an XML document with the required data.
This was once you have it working interface changes should be a lot easier to do and it may also make it more reliable.
Also one final benefit could possibly be an expansion of CP use (like a desktop version).

Is there anything specific you could think of that would help the end experience if internally we went from Database -> XML -> HTML?
If you're after an XML feed of the message boards then we will have that in form of an RSS feed.

Well for a few reasons:
Reliability, The HTML generator will do a lot better deciphering this sort of thing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<messages>
<message>
<indent>3</indent> <!-- For replies where the original post is not on the same page -->
<poster>XxXxXxX</poster>
<posterid>445343443</posterid>
<date>03:44 3/4/07</date>
<rating>5.0</rating>
<subject>Testing 1234....</testing>
<content> This is a message >b<this is bold<. This &gt; is a less than sign >br /<</content>
<replies>
<poster>XxXxXxX</poster>
<posterid>445343443</posterid>
<date>03:44 3/4/07</date>
<rating>5.0</rating>
<subject>Testing 1234....</testing>
<content> This is a message >b<this is bold >/b<. This &gt; is a less than sign >br/<</content>
<relpies />
</relpies>
</message>
</messages> Also you could create an API so that we could request a certain pat of the forum and the server could send it down to us.
I was thinking of a little side project that would benefit greatly from this, but more about that later.

In Spanish:
He Notado que CodeProject publica una infinidad de artículos muy buenos, pero todos en inglés. No es malo que todo sea en inglés (es más es el lenguaje universal), pero debería haber artículos en español tambien, en varios idiomas.
CodeProject ya debe globalizarse.

|
|

With 15,000 articles it's almost impossible to translate all to other languages, and even harder to keep them synched up when updates are made. We have no plans to extend CodeProject to other languages because we simply do not have the resources.

Could you not have a voluntary translation project and then link to translated version when available?

We did this at CodeGuru and it was a logistical nightmare. It sounds great but it truly sapped the life out me trying to keep things organised.
Maybe in the future when I have spare resources and can dedicate some serious thinking to this, but at the moment we just cannot make it happen in a reliable, organised and consistent way.

I would offer to head this up for you but you seem so damn stubborn about using ASP..... but yeah if you would like me to give you a few hours per week working on this I would be happy to help.

We've been working non-stop on a full, ground up rewrite in ASP.NET for about 5 months now. There's no love of ASP here.

a) People are clever enough to find such services all by them selves
b) The translations those engines give are in general good for a laugh only (on a side note, the translations can be hilarious sometimes  )
c) What about copyright implications?
d) What's the real benefit?

Something I think would be invaluable would be to have a section in each article that shows what other articles refer to it.
A situation I have often come across is I have searched for an topic, been directed to a particular article and read the article. Sometimes the articles are dated and have been updated in subsequent related articles by the same or another author. Other times, a different author will use one article as a starting point and expand on a topic.
Usually when that happens the author refers to the previous article in their own article. It would be handy to have a listing of all articles that refer to the current one so you could see related content without having to search repeatedly.
Just an idea.
Love the site! And the newsletters!

I think it would actually even be _valuable_! I'd value it priceless.
Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you?
public object moo<br />
{<br />
__get { return moo; }<br />
__set { moo = value; }<br />
}

Ah, the English language, so precise!
in·val·u·a·ble
–adjective beyond calculable or appraisable value; of inestimable worth; priceless: an invaluable art collection; her invaluable assistance
No wonder it's listed as a class 5 language! But the feature would indeed be valuable, however we define it!
Cheers,
Bob

OK. I post a message where I'm being ironic and somebody treats it as serious and gets seriously put out about it. Could we please expand the smileys to have an ironic smiley?

What would it look like?
And would we have to explain irony to everyone? (I just keep think of that annoyingly incorrect song by Alinis Morriset)
