Question and Answer plugin

KnickKnack

Hi and thanks for the very helpful plugin.

Could it be possible to bring inside the Q&A page in ACP two fields to customize the state of a thread? By default these states are set to "solved" / "unsolved" but if needed that can be switched to other different values.

Cheers, KK

@psychobunny We are trying to limit this plugin to certain categories and subcategories only, but it looks like the limitation does not work in (nodebb 1.12.2 - persona theme). I have not used with previous versions or with other themes but it is active all over the forum although we limit on ACP.
Even with a regular user account. FYI.

Thanks, I'm able to reproduce this. I'll have a look

@psychobunny if one edits the first post of a topic "ask a question" becomes deactivated in "topic tools". i would call it a kind of unexpected behaviour.

psychobunny

@murcs agreed, the implementation isn't that great as this has been growing along as NodeBB has.

We're working on this again for a client and hoping to propagate fixes upstream to this plugin as the project goes

(On your note though, it should work as expected after refreshing the page after you edit at the very least?)

no. it doesn't. even after a refresh.

@murcs ah okay. Could you add a new issue here: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer/issues

If you have client side errors / server side logs to paste there + info regarding your NodeBB setup (version, theme, etc.) then that would make it a lot easier to reproduce and fix. Thanks!

the easiest would be to reproduce it here. just edit my first post!

@murcs thanks! https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer/issues/78

I didn't actually realize it was an issue here as well, doh! I think I know what the problem is, will look into it

"ahem"

running nodeBB v1.16.2 we are not able to load the current nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer v0.8.7 - we need a newer version of nodeBB first. did we miss a major upgrade of nodeBB??? =;^)

julian

@murcs No, not at all. v1.17.0 is still as yet unreleased, but it doesn't stop plugins from taking advantage of newer versions of NodeBB (and the features they provide).

nbbpm is set up so if you query for plugins, it will return the latest version the plugin author has declared safe to use for your version of NodeBB.

murcs

@julian /admin/extend/plugins#trending shows v0.8.7 as the newest version of nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer plus a green update button aside which is a bit confusing. /admin/extend/plugins#upgrade doesn't show anything.

julian

@murcs mm, that is a good point. The trending menu should verify versions before the data is sent back

julian

Trending plugins route returns plugin versions that may be incompatible with querying version of NodeBB · Issue #25 · NodeBB/nodebb-package-manager

e.g. 1.16.2 viewing trending has the latest q&a plugin advertised, even though the version it recommends is incompatible with 1.16.2

@julian thanks for the update.

I'm facing and issue and I dunno if it a know limitation.
Is it possible to have to plugin showing Solved/Unsolved labels correctly with the Slick Theme when browsing categories? The labels only appear when a thread is selected.

Cheers, R

@julian we could resolve this.

For the record, if someone else wants to have QnA labels on category view with slick theme: You need to add

{{{each topics.icons}}}{@value}{{{end}}}

Hi. I recently updated this to the latest version, and it crashed NodeBB. I removed the plug-in and installed it again, this time it worked. However, after posting I then get this error when trying to access the post I just created

Internal Error.
Oops! Looks like something went wrong!

Any ideas ?

Rolled back to [email protected] and the issue does not present itself. Seems there's an issue with 0.11.0

<baris>

Please open an issue with the stack trace on the plugin repo.
