Question and Answer plugin

Plugin is installed on this community In the composer you can post a topic as a question thread:

Or, you can convert it to a question from thread tools:

Mark your question as solved via thread tools:

And here is how it looks like in the category view, recent, popular, etc:

A navigation route is available, so you can see the most recent unsolved threads. Just activate it in ACP -> General -> Navigation:

Tested on Vanilla, Lavender, and Persona on latest 0.7-dev.

Fork it on GitHub

Was this removed from this site? I just tried to create a question and I don't see the option anywhere.

Should be still there:

@psychobunny You can see it because you are an admin. The option is only available for admins and mods. "Ask a question" should be available for everyone?

Ah, well that would explain it.

psychobunny

Seems legit. I think it must have been working at some point though...

psychobunny

Okay, should be fixed on latest persona/vanilla & updated on this community

KingCat

@psychobunny Yea, it used to work here thats why I was surprised it suddenly disappeared.

@psychobunny "Ask as Question" button is appearing on an editor, but not appearing in Topic Tools.

Hello, Is there anyway to get the ASK A QUESTION option in the dropdown when posting a topic to show as the default instead of Submit? Also if this is possible is there a way to make it default for just certain categories? Thanks

@whitts Both of those features should be available on the latest version of Q&A plugin once the pull requests are merged in

Thanks for the info.. So we just have to wait for @psychobunny to merge them in?

whitts

@psychobunny has this been merged yet? Can i just fork it if not and do the merges? Thanks (ive never used github before for stuff like this)

julian

@whitts the changes have been merged in.

whitts

@julian thanks

julian

just needed a little nudging

Hmm... I just updated and i can now see the option but it doesnt seem to allow you to select multiple categories - either all categories have it by default or just one.. I have a category with around 15 sub categories and i needed this option in all of them ...
Can we set the dropdown in the admin settings to multiselect and then store the category ids as an array to the settings:question-and-answer object? Then when you query the settings:question-and-answer object loop through the array to get the category ids that should be set to default?

Thanks

Hi Julian.. i just started using the unsolved / solved routes and noticed that the solved route is showing all topics (whether they were asked as a question or not / answered or not answered) Where as the unsolved route shows just the unsolved.. Can some one confirm if this is just on my end? Thanks
