I already selected a subsection for it (Hardware). I don't know why it's still in the Unedited section, given that it's marked as "Edited".

It shows as unedited - both the article and also in the listing.

When I go to edit the article, the Status field says "Edited".

I believe that when you originally submitted this article you didn't have rights to directly choose a sub-section. Later on Chris gave you those rights and thus your newer articles don't have this issue.
During the last update of the article system, something changed so that now there seems to be an edited-flag that's only accessible to CP editors. So for this particular article, one of the editors will have to switch that flag for you.

Not sure about that - maybe he didn't pick a sub-section for it.

Yep - "Hardware". Could be a site bug (or one that was around when I originally posted the article).

Is there any functionality on CP that allows us to share files privately between users?

maybe you could create a collaborative unfinished article, and upload/download some ZIP files to/from it? I'd expect all co-authors would be able to access the files.

Yeah - that worked well the last time I tried it.

but this time I added a little twist: you name the team members explicitly, by making them co-authors. I've never done that, but if it doesn't do what you want, how could people co-author an article at all?

That might work, but then I'd have another article that I can't delete.

I just remembered, there is also a "collaborative group" account, which I would guess is a single account shared by several people. You'd have to create one for each combination of people you're interested in. Again, not from my own experience.
BTW: don't modify your regular account, I remember some problems were reported when you change its type.
PS: If you care for an experiment, I'm willing to help out.

There is the 'Uploads' system that is in place for platinum members (see top right, next to 'Sign out' - if it's not there then I can open that up a little)

Can other users download from your uploads?

I uploaded a kitten image the other day, see here[^].
And I just uploaded a ZIP for your experimental purposes, see here: "/script/Membership/Uploads/648011/JSOPtest.zip"
BTW: as these are my uploads I expect you can download/read/use them (assuming you know the exact URL), but not modify/delete them. So it may not be the perfect solution for real collaboration.

|

Yes. the purpose of uploads is specifically to give you a place to share files.

Is that supposed to be all platinum members or only those who are platinum in on topic areas? I've only got it for debater/organizer.

I don't know, I suddenly had an "Uploads" menu (in between "My Articles" and "Sign Out"). I don't know what triggered it, my best guess is Golden Authorship. I wish CP would make such things public, the rep FAQ would be a nice place to collect descriptions of the rep color consequences.

It's for authors only at the moment.
It's an old, oooold system that was never designed for mass use. However, there's a need, so I'm going to add a general improvement item to the TODO.

Hi Chris,
I was browing the site and came across this article:
Write Templates for Visual Studio 2010[^]
At first glance the article appears to be complete garbage. But after watching the videos I realized there was alot of useful information within the article in video format. It would be great if I could watch those videos without having to leave the site. You guys are way behind on this and should upgrade the website to include embedded flash video options for authors.
I did a little research and came across this:
Add Silverlight video to your articles[^]
Unfortunately I could not find any information regarding embedding Flash videos... which is currently dominating vector animation/media delivery in the browser market. Is this something you guys have considered?
Anyway... HTML5 will be standardized in a few years and will include a <video> tag. I am hoping to be able to watch videos in future codeproject.com articles.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Yes, we definitely encourage Flash videos in our articles. In the article editor, 2nd row, 2nd icon, is a 'movie' button that allows you to enter Flash movies into your articles.
It's not currently working for Silverlight, but we have that as a known bug and will fix it as soon as we can get to it.
