Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Sean Ewington13-Jan-17 7:59 Sean Ewington 13-Jan-17 7:59  Of those the only ones that have successfully pulled recently and are current have a CodeProject category. Can you please try adding that as well? <category><![CDATA[CodeProject]]></category> Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Anton Angelov13-Jan-17 8:09 Anton Angelov 13-Jan-17 8:09  It seems that for WordPress this category tag is added once you set a new tag. So I have done it for my last article. <title>CodeProject Statistics Calculator Using WebDriver</title> <link>https://automatetheplanet.com/codeproject-statistics-calculator/</link> <comments>https://automatetheplanet.com/codeproject-statistics-calculator/#respond</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 05 Jan 2017 20:41:50 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Anton Angelov]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[AutomationTools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[.NET]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Automation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[C#]]></category> <category><![CDATA[CodeProject]]></category> <category><![CDATA[QA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WebDriver]]></category> Maybe now it will work? Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Sean Ewington13-Jan-17 8:18 Sean Ewington 13-Jan-17 8:18  Still Error. I've consulted a higher power. Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Anton Angelov13-Jan-17 8:21 Anton Angelov 13-Jan-17 8:21  Thank you, for the help. Please, update me as soon as you have any news. Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Sean Ewington13-Jan-17 8:52 Sean Ewington 13-Jan-17 8:52  The higher powers say we’re getting an error 403 "Forbidden" when we try and download your blog. Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Anton Angelov14-Jan-17 0:38 Anton Angelov 14-Jan-17 0:38  Hmm, I see. I immediately wrote to my high powers. And to fix the problem need the following info: do you use some kind of scraper or just read the RSS to fetch the info? What is the user-agent string? I think my high powers need the info the configure the security settings of the site correctly. Thanks. Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Chris Maunder14-Jan-17 8:38 Chris Maunder 14-Jan-17 8:38  We read the RSS directly. We don't pass a UserAgent but can pass whatever's needed if that helps. cheers Chris Maunder Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Anton Angelov15-Jan-17 21:49 Anton Angelov 15-Jan-17 21:49  I discussed the problem with my developer. He turned off all new security settings for the new site. Can you try to download the RSS now to see how it goes? Thanks! Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Sean Ewington16-Jan-17 3:13 Sean Ewington 16-Jan-17 3:13  Error Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Anton Angelov18-Jan-17 11:02 Anton Angelov 18-Jan-17 11:02  I built a C# app to reproduce the problem. My developer was able to find the problem. It was that there was a security check to block all get requests that don't provide user agent because it marks them as bots. To fix the problem, we stop the check, and my blog was consumed. Thank you for all of the help! Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Chris Maunder18-Jan-17 17:00 Chris Maunder 18-Jan-17 17:00  How about we add a UserAgent string so you can put back the bot check? It's only fair cheers Chris Maunder Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Anton Angelov19-Jan-17 7:06 Anton Angelov 19-Jan-17 7:06  Yeah, this will be great! Thanks. Re: Can you check what is the problem with polled status of my site feed Chris Maunder19-Jan-17 8:16 Chris Maunder 19-Jan-17 8:16  Easy fix. It'll be live in a day or so cheers Chris Maunder Weighted reputation for article downloads Thomas Daniels11-Jan-17 19:43 Thomas Daniels 11-Jan-17 19:43  Apparently I got 8 points for a single download on one of my articles. Looks like the downloads are weighted, even though that isn't specified by the "Member Reputation System" page, so it's probably a bug. The quick brown ProgramFOX jumps right over the Lazy<Dog>. Not Receiving Forum Notifications for 2017 .dan.g.11-Jan-17 15:02 .dan.g. 11-Jan-17 15:02  Hi CP I've received no email notifications for new posts in 2017. On the other hand I have received notifications for replies to my posts. Is it me or is it you? ps. I have checked my spam folder and they are not there. pps. I have been receiving Daily Build emails just fine. .dan.g.

Andreas Gieriet10-Jan-17 11:53 Andreas Gieriet 10-Jan-17 11:53  I was not active on CP for quite some while. Now that I looked into some of my articles/tips, I noticed that some a bit "advanced" formatting got completely screwed up in the last two years or so. E.g. highlighting, line numbering, background/foreground color got corrupt. See Invent your own Dynamic LINQ parser[^] at the end of the first pre-block (span...highlight is verbatim instead of html/css directive). I also have on several places used the foreground/background colors to emulate console output with black background and white text. See the same article above in the pre-block after "The output is:". The feature of line numbering of code snippets also got silently removed. Why? I some times refer in the text to these lines. Basically all my articles/tips are affected since I took benefit of these features those days when they were functional... Any remedy in sight? Thanks Andi Re: Article formatting screwed up (sine a long time?) Sean Ewington11-Jan-17 3:01 Sean Ewington 11-Jan-17 3:01  Try as I might, I can't seem to get highlighting back into that pre block. It used to be there though, correct? Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject Re: Article formatting screwed up (sine a long time?) Wendelius11-Jan-17 4:04 Wendelius 11-Jan-17 4:04  Indeed the highlight (yellowish background) seems to cause this. The same defect is seen in version 2+ code blocks where I've tried to highlight the changes compared to previous versions: Properly executing database operations Re: Article formatting screwed up (sine a long time?) Chris Maunder11-Jan-17 7:23 Chris Maunder 11-Jan-17 7:23  Found and fixed and will deploy once I've finished testing cheers Chris Maunder Re: Article formatting screwed up (sine a long time?) Andreas Gieriet11-Jan-17 17:44 Andreas Gieriet 11-Jan-17 17:44  Thanks! Looking forward! Cheers Andi Re: Article formatting screwed up (sine a long time?) Wendelius11-Jan-17 20:35 Wendelius 11-Jan-17 20:35  Looks good now! Re: Article formatting screwed up (sine a long time?) Andreas Gieriet12-Jan-17 8:05 Andreas Gieriet 12-Jan-17 8:05  Hello Chris, the highlighting works at places where the article sources did not get screwed up themselves somehow. E.g. see Invent your own Dynamic LINQ parser[^] at the first pre-block. The source view shows that the embedded highlighting in the pre-block got converted over time into plain code... (likewise other highlighting in the same article and others of mine). The other similar issue is about background color. I did use to simulate console output by giving the foreground color white and the background color black in some pre-block. This used to work in the (distant?) past. Now, it looks like it's kind of filtered: the foreground color is still respected, the background got removed completely. You seem to have some stripping/processing/whatever machinery that processes ***existing*** articles once in a while (my interpretation of the situation). E.g. see Escaping in C#: characters, strings, string formats, keywords, identifiers[^], the pre-block after "results in" used to be started like <pre lang="text" style="background:black;color:white;">... but now is truncated to <pre lang="text" style="color: white">. Finally, the pre-block attributes countlines and countstart got stripped off somehow from the sources... E.g. see my History section, V1.2 comment in Invent your own Dynamic LINQ parser[^]. Are these any deprecated features? Regards Andi Re: Article formatting screwed up (sine a long time?) Chris Maunder12-Jan-17 17:22 Chris Maunder 12-Jan-17 17:22  Looks like lots of your &span> tags were being HTML encoded. I've fixed these. Background colour should be set using background-color, not background. We don't allow background because it's too difficult to sanitise safely. With regards to countlines: these were being stripped out but I've added them back to the "allow" list. Which blocks do you want to have with line counts? cheers Chris Maunder
