Questions about CodeBase

[Gerard Willia G J B M Dinh Sy]

Hello

Are you okay?

I have a few questions about publications in codebase

If I publish a code in codebase, is it subject to validation? 

These are not very technical codes, they are didactic codes for the youngest.

"if" accepted, how does it happen afterwards? 

I saw a forum dedicated to comments 

https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/art

Does it also work for codebase?

Thank you

Yes, it is subject to validation. But only to successfully compile.

You can update your code anytime, just make sure all your files have a proper #property version on them, so that the system can track your versions.

Alternatively, you could create a public shared project in ME, and publish that.

Also possible is the combination of those. Publish in code base your release versions and have the development branch in shared projects. And add that info to your code base publication.

Thanks a lot

Hello

Are you okay?

I can't post to codebase

I have an error message that is not clear enough

"Invalid file"

What is invalid? MQ5? The format of the images? Code formatting? The formatting of the message? One more thing?

My code is written with Metaeditor, does not include any errors or warnings

Thank you

[Gerard Willia G J B M Dinh Sy]

Here's the code. I don't think it's a bad formated

Hello

Are you okay?

I can't post to codebase

I have an error message that is not clear enough

"Invalid file"

What is invalid? MQ5? The format of the images? Code formatting? The formatting of the message? One more thing?

My code is written with Metaeditor, does not include any errors or warnings

Thank you

The problem is the PNG file.

You can only upload .zip, .mq4/5 and .mqh files.

If you want to upload anything else, use a .zip.

If you want the image to be displayed on code base, insert it into the description text.

[Gerard Willia G J B M Dinh Sy]

Thank you very much

I'm not sure I understood everything because he refused me once, but here it's good.

Here is the link for this tutorial so

https://www.mql5.com/en/code/46062

Nevertheless I do not understand this story of png.

This format is accepted it seems

How do I add a language for the long description?

[Gerard Willia G J B M Dinh Sy]

Good morning
Have a nice week end ?
I can see that in fact there are several codebases, one per language in fact
The english codebase for example

https: //www.mql5.com/en/code

How to post the same code with translation of the description in several codebases of the site?

I restart the code submission creation with the wizard in the language where I want to submit the code?

You don't have to! With a click on the triangle you can select your language:

Thank you for your answer

Alas, I cannot find these icons at all when I edit the code that I have already submitted.

I would love a little more help on this, Thanks

Hello

Everything's fine?

Still worries with the upload of a code 

I did like last time, but it does not pass he tells me that the main file is not found?

He's there??

What is he waiting for?
