Hey Chris, saving works now, thanks for fixing!

There still seems to be a problem though.
I just finished and published my article, it's even on the home page.
But whenever I click it (from the home page or my list of articles) I'm taken to the following page: Arrgh.js - Bringing LINQ to JavaScript[^]
- It seems to be some specific version that's not the latest version.
- There is even a box at the top of the article saying "This is an old version of the currently published article.", but when I click the "currently published" link I get taken to the exact same version.
- The title says "Composing | Arrgh.js - Bringing LINQ to JavaScript", and obviously the "Composing | " part did not come from me.
- And all images, that I added in the article editor from my computer, seem to be missing.

Maybe I'm just impatient, but at least I had not expected it to be public while it's still "composing".

Did you want the article to be live?

I can fix the images if you email them to me. I will beat the article editor into submission.

Yeah, I did want the article to be live.
I just notice the comment section also says "Comments are only available once an article is submitted for publishing."
It seems my article is in a limbo state between being edited and being published Frown | :(

I just tried editing it and unchecked the "Work in progress, don't publish" checkbox...
That couldn't have been checked when I published yesterday.

Only thing missing now is the images so I'll mail them to you.
Thanks.

I've edited the article to see what's happening. You should be able to edit it yourself and just drag and drop the images onto the file upload area of the wizard. Alternatively we (and by that I mean Sean) can fix it all manually if you email. Whatever works best for you.

cheers

Hi,

I'm trying to place a YouTube video at the top of my article:

XML

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ziwcTWFEY4U?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

When I save the article, it is changed to this:

XML

<div class="video-placeholder youtube" style="width: 560px; height: 315px"> </div>

How can I add a video to my article?

Regards,
Daniel

See the Code Project Article FAQ[^] on how to embed a video.
Note also this:

Unfortunately it doesn't work. When I place the following in my article, it's stripped out:

<iframe style="height:315px;width:560px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ziwcTWFEY4U?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0"></iframe>

Sorry to hear that. Probably something has been changed since writing the FAQ.

Maybe @Sean-Ewington can have a look (he will now be notified of this post).

Try putting it in as:

Hi Sean,

I tried it.
When I save my article it changes the iframe element to:

<div class="video-placeholder youtube" style="width: 560px; height: 315px"> </div>

If I preview the article, I see the video. But when I save the article, the iframe changes to the placeholder div.

Cheers,
Daniel

Let me dig in.

Where's that hammer...?

[Edit: is it this article[^]? Seems to be working.

Did you have to do anything special? Or was there something you had to not do to get it working? If there's still an issue I'll dig in further.

cheers

Hi Chris. I'm experiencing this issue. Video was showing up in preview but isn't showing after publishing: SignalChat: WPF & SignalR Chat Application

I've just had a chance to look at your video mate - I cannot wait to see the completed article. This looks great (and even has a touch of CP orange).

Why is there no list of existing tags when I try to submit a question?

I have just received an error message while submitting a question, telling me I cannot create new tags and must choose an existing one. Where do I find a list of the existing ones? Didn't they use to appear when you started typing in the 'Tags' box?

I am using Chrome on Windows 10.

Confused | :confused:

Thank you to anyone taking the time to read my posts.

I have just tested it and you are right: No autocomplete and no list popup.

As a workaround you might open a page that allows filtering for tags like Latest Updates[^]. When selecting the tag input field, a popup with existing tags is opened. However, these tags are related to articles instead of questions but they might be the same.
