While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

If you are having problems getting started at all, then this may help: How to Write Code to Solve a Problem, A Beginner's Guide[^]

Even if we did do your homework for you - which we don't - this would be very much the wrong place to post this!

May I Include ClipArt?

I'm writing an article and would like to include a ClipArt image to help illustrate a concept. If I purchase the rights to use the ClipArt, may I then include it in my article?

For example, I can purchase this ClipArt for $2:
Boom barrier, automatic, toll plaza, parking, boom gate, stop bar icon - Download on Iconfinder[^]
May I then use it in my article?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Article scope: IoT stuff, is it appropriate here? (see comment)

Absolutely!

I'm thinking of preparing an article here on unboxing and adopting the ESP32-S3 IoT widget which isn't in mass production yet.

I know hacks and tricks to get it to dance the Arduino dance in PlatformIO even though that isn't officially supported yet.

So it's kind of mixed hardware/software thing, and that's where I'm not sure if it would belong here or not.

This would be about getting the software development struts in place to support brand new hardware, but very hardware centric.

Should I post it somewhere else, or do you think it fits within the scope here at codeproject?

It might be a bit, as i have a lot more research to do on this board, but now I'll do that research with writing this article in mind.

Importing or replicating large scale documentation from Github

I'm rebooting The GFX Documentation[^] which used to be covered by GFX Forever: The Complete Guide to GFX for IoT[^] here at codeproject.

I can't just import from github because the documentation is too complicated and large to be a single readme. It needs a TOC and pages to keep it manageable.

I'm trying to think of the best way to - not exactly cross post it here, but create some kind of landing and introduction to GFX here that reflects documentation and integrates it, preferably.

I'm not sure how to go about it. This is kind of a brainstorming question as codeproject github import doesn't remotely support what would be necessary to make this work, nor should it.

But I want something here to replace the GFX Forever article. Or maybe I should just redo that one?

Any of you that have some time to evaluate those links, what would you do?

Thanks for your time!

Does CodeProject owns now article and code I published on it?

Re: Does CodeProject owns now article and code I published on it?

18-Mar-22 22:44

I was thinking… once I publish an article on CodeProject, does CodeProject own any copyright rights on that article and code?
Can I publish that article text or code in some other place as well? Use it in my presentation without mentioning CodeProject?
Also, Editor made some changes to the text… spelling, grammar, style changes. That is some work contributed to the article. Who owns copyright now to that version/revision?

Re: Pasting article from MS Word

18-Mar-22 4:53

I see that in article creation form there is a button "paste from Word". I tried it and it preserved/recognized Heading2 as Heading2 html tag and mapped Word paragraphs to <p> html paragraphs.
Is there a rule, which Word style would be mapped into <pre> tag, that is how to present source code in Word text so that it would be mapped into <pre> tag that is used for code in articles html?
I know there are other text editors and I am using Notepad++, but Word has better spell/grammar check....

Writing article that is not programming topic but technology overview

18-Mar-22 5:27

"Paste from Word" does its best, but unfortunately it is not perfect. If you are having trouble with any article editor issues, please save it in composing status and send it to submit@codeproject.com.

Re: Writing article that is not programming topic but technology overview

17-Mar-22 1:55

I am thinking of writing article that would not be programming topic, but more like a software technology overview of certain domain. With general concepts, definitions, pictures of applications in domain etc. But no code samples or similar. Would this site be a good place for that article, or maybe you can suggest some other place on the net to publish it.

Also, for another article, related to telecommunication wireless IP networking and some technology topics related to it like routing and application experience. Where would be proper place to publish it?

An article that discusses software from a high-level perspective should be OK. But I can only speak as a moderator, so I'll summon @sean-ewington so that you can follow up with him if you're planning an article that doesn't have much of a software angle.

Hi Mark,

Thanks very much for your inquiry and offer. However, I am not sure this topic would be aligned with CodeProject's guidelines. I'm afraid I can't think of a better place to post it. Medium perhaps?

Flood of SQL blog articles

17-Mar-22 7:13

Thank you for your replay. I looked at Medium and it looks very general ... broad topics oriented. I was thinking maybe some IT technology oriented website would be a better match.

Re: Flood of SQL blog articles

There must be at least 20 of them so far. And given the narrow focus of each one, there could be 100 more on the way. Some have formatting issues (images that are too wide), but I guess the central question is whether the site has a problem with this in general. @sean-ewington

Re: Flood of SQL blog articles

This user's blog feed was broken. Last week I helped them fix it and this was the result. Seems like the posts have stopped now. Less than a quarter of the ones that made it through went live. Save for the blog reference at the bottom of the page, none of them have links back to the blog, and all of the formatting issues have been fixed. If you find any entries leftover that you deem too narrow a focus, please feel free to report the article as unclear or incomplete, or extremely poor quality.

Re: Flood of SQL blog articles

Their focus is narrow because they often discuss individual SQL operators. I don't really have a problem with that if, in aggregate, the quality is good. But I don't know SQL, so can't assess that.
