Hi, Community!
We've updated Developer Community (DC) portal and here are some good news.
Now you can insert in your post highlighted parts of code. It works with help of highlight.js library.
To illustrate it I took some code snippets from Fabian's article.
When I'm searching across the community I find lots of interesting questions sometimes with
excellent answers and suggestions. Quite often It's more than one solution.
Then I'm mostly missing an indication which solution worked or that nothing worked at all or the case was dropped.
I understand a community as partners working together, sharing experience and knowledge.
Many participants seem to have the same understanding and share their results.
Here in Community I use the WYSIWYG Text format control to answer questions and other quick text entries.
But for longer posts when I want formatting or if I am building incrementally over several days I use the Plain text (supports markdown) control because it's quicker and easier to post an article I have written offline. In this post I share my workflow and a set of tools to publish long read posts.
When posts are displayed on the DC homepage they only show the first part of each post. This part is known as the teaser, or the trimmed version. The DC software does its best, but without being given any hint by you it can sometimes produce teasers that are of limited value, e.g. "Hi!"
When composing your post, the Preview button lets you see what the teaser will look like. For example, here's the preview of an initial version of this post:
I'm very proud of the Worldwide Response Center - an excellent group of men and women - and I am interested to hear from you about your experience using the WRC. There are always better ways for us to serve you.
I'm also very excited about the Developer Community which we're bringing to you to give you an opportunity to connect with groups and individuals in the InterSystems community. Let us know what you think and how we can improve it in order to serve you better.
Hi, InterSystems Developer Community!
We are working to improve this site to make it comfortable to read, contribute, share and get answers from InterSystems Developer Community!
But while we haven't fixed some UI issues please find in this post some simple answers on how to deal with Developer Community.
How to add post?
Hi!
Here is small "How to" again.
Suppose you need to share something with source code. How can we manage it on DC?
Sharing code snippets
1. Add normal post (not Code Package).
2. Paste your code in the post and format it with highlighting as it is described here.
Here are the release notes for the release planned for Friday, March 25th.
We will be publishing another update to Developer Community tomorrow, March 17th with the following enhancements and fixes:
Before this Developer Community existed a Google Group named intersystems-public-cache was an active forum for people working with Caché and related products.
Hi, Community!
Hope you know and use the Developer Community Analytics page which build with InterSystems DeepSee and DeepSee Web.
We are playing with InterSystems iKnow analytics against Developer Community posts and introduced the new dashboard, which shows Top 60 concepts for all the posts:
Some new participants to DC failed to register with no clear feedback.
They received a mail like this:
DC has developed to a rich and useful and active platform for developers in the InterSystems world.
And has a big advantage: It is really embedded into InterSystems' customer interface.
The sad thing about is that it has a solid base of early adopters but related to the installed base
the growth rate of participants seems to me quite moderate and could be higher.
When I go to search Austrian members I call
https://community.intersystems.com/members
and enter .at as filter for email. Result = OK.
but the resultset is lager than the space in display and I get this box at bottom
On the homepage that we get when we go to https://community.intersystems.com/ there are three views, controlled by a set of buttons in the upper right:
Above is with the default view (the "house", i.e. the "home").
Hi, Community!
I’m sure you are using Developer Community analytics built with InterSystems Analytics technology DeepSee:
You can find DC analytics n InterSystems->Analytics menu.
DC Analytics shows interactive dashboards on key figures of DC entities: Posts, Comments, and Members.
Since the last week, this analytics project is available for everyone with source code and data on DC Github!

The topics will include:
Questions will be more than welcome! Hope to see you there!
And a big thanks to Evgeny Shvarov who made this possible!
Hi!
Sometimes you need to put formatted ObjectScript in a post.
To do that put the code into the editor, select it and click on ObjectScript button.
Once you save/preview the post the code will be highlighted as ObjectScript.
See the gif:
Hi!
You can insert an image in a post with via three ways:
1. Upload it from disk
Drag-n-drop image from your disk to a post and adjust the width after that.
2. Copy and paste from clipboard
Copy the image to a clipboard (Ctrl+C) e.g. from another web page or from any text editor and paste it into the post.
See how it works:
I used the Members option from the Community button to look up Evgeny's profile. Above the tabs ("View", "Mentions", "Posts (53)" etc) his name was displayed (correct).
Then I clicked on the "Posts (53)" tab. It showed his posts, but displayed my name above the tabs.
Hello developer community developers!
Thanks for all of features you create.
I encourage the one simple issue again and again when posting articles. Would be happy if it get fixed.
When publishing an article draft, the date of the post should be the date of publishing, but not the date when the draft was created.
Hi, Community!
The Second InterSystems Global Summit Contest finished yesterday, and we have a new winner!
John Murray has won the prize and showed very impressive contribution activity with the result:
The top of my Answers tab looks like this:
To get to the question, first I have to click on the "Answer:" text (which only gets the appearance of a hyperlink when I mouse over it).
That click takes me here:
I now need to click on "Back to question page" in order to get where I want to be.
We will soon be implementing a filter that will remove Developer Community feedback from the home page. Please keep the suggestions and comments coming.
You can still access the feedback from the "Browse by Group" section on the home page by clicking on the Developer Community Feedback link.

Go to My Content -> Collaborations and scroll down. After hitting the bottom of the page, the more results are loaded and the page becomes longer, but the view jumps back to the beginning of the page.
Expected behavior: the view stays where it was after loading more results.
I have just received an email digest for a post I submitted as someone has added an answer but it was not clear from the digest why I had received the digest or what had changed.
1) When reading the digest in Outlook it has poor layout and style
Main text is light green on white background - poor contrast
2) Not clear what has changed, ie what should I do as a result of getting this email
Would prefer something like
