How to get code to show under "Browse Code" tab?

[TLHobbes]

Hi, I've created an article via the Submission Wizard. I've zipped my source code, uploaded it, and added a link in the article to the zip via the wizards "Add selected zip files to the article" link. However, I do not see anything in the wizard, nor the preview mode pertaining to the "Browse Code" tab. And after submitting an article, the browse code tab says "No downloads associated with this content". I would simply like to have my code show up under the "Browse Code" tab. Can this be done via the Submission Wizard? If so, how? If not, how can I achieve this? Thanks!

Have you published the article yet? (if so could you please give me a link) Once you do I can take a peek.

Yes, it is published here: OptionLock, a KeePass 2.x Plugin keeps UI disabled while KeePass is Locked[^] Thanks.

All fixed. The downloads were lost in the machinery.

Hi Chris, it seems there is a nasty bug with first time activation of articles, see the discussion under the thread above: "Please could you support me to make download working? [modified]". I added an answer to that thread too to make it clear what happened in my case. The effect of this bug is that newly created articles don't have working downloads, and the images are also not working. Not nice when you get negative remarks and points about something you have no control over.. I think this bug also causes the problem described in this thread "How to get code to show under 'Browse Code' tab" where I'm now answering. Because when there's no downloads, it's logical that the "browse code" tab isn't working either.

We've taken further steps to ensure this issue is resolved. We've tested the daylights out of this and cannot get it to fail in our dev or live environment, yet occasionally there are issues. It's incredibly frustrating, but we think the latest fix should sort it out.
