Uncertainty when updating...
-
Hi there, So I have recently been updating some of my articles, today my JavaScript Image Fader article. Now the publishing updates process works fairly well, it's just there is something that always confuses me. I often save draft version with "Work in progress check" and so when I view the new article it has the status "Composing" in yellow. This is fine. But then when I un-check the "Work in progress" box and click publish, there's nothing to tell me that it's actually in the approvals queue. The new article still says "Composing" in the corner, not "Pending" or something similar. I think it would be nice if the Status of the article could be shown as "Pending" or "Waiting Approval" after clicking publish on an update, just to make it clear that the article is in the pipeline and is not still "Composing", as it says at the moment. Thanks, Ed (P.s. If of course this is already supposed to happen then this becomes a bug report because it hasnt the past two times I've updated my articles ;P )

The status is meant to change to "Pending". Elina will take a look first thing Monday. Either it's a bug or you're seeing a cached version (which is still a bug IMO)

Thanks very much, I have refreshed my browser several times and even just deleted my cache and it still says composing so I don't think it is a caching issue. I'm using the latest version of Chrome - which usually does a proper refresh when you hit the refresh button anyway. Happy to help if you need me to try anything else out :) Ed

I've found chrome to historically be the worst with holding on to cached versions, but I'm hoping this has been fixed. Regardless, it sounds like the problem is at our end. Is there an article in particular I can dig into?

Yes I agree Chrome does hold on to a lot of cached pages but anyway... Yes there is a particular article at the moment, here the link: Currently Published version : JavaScript Image Fader[^] Link to view the new (as yet unpublished but I would like it to be) version : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=13931&aid=160902[^] Thanks once again as I appreciate the quick response. I'm always astounded how fast CodeProject is at dealing with things, Ed

Hi Ed, Thanks for reporting and sorry for the trouble. I logged in as you and changed the status of the article to pending. To change the status of the article you click on the "pencil" icon close to the status. You can go straight to available as well, if you want.
Sincerely, Elina Blank Life is great!!! Enjoy every moment of it! :-O

Wow that was a fast response! Thanks! Okay I understand how that works and will remember that in future. I presume I can only go straight to available because of my CP status is that correct? Or can anyone who's updating an article do that? Thanks once again, Ed

Hi again, If editor is updating your article, he/she can change article's status as well. And you can change article's status. I will make the required fix to be more obvious when un-checking the "work in progress", but can not promise that it will be done today. Thanks for your understanding

Okay thanks for the explanation, all makes sense :) Ed

Ok, now once you un-check the "work in progress" status of the article will become "Available". You still can change it to pending by clicking the "pencil" icon near available status if you want to. Hope it is now more intuitive and less confusing.
