Question and Answer plugin

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

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

Confirmed working. Thanks

@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

[whitts]

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

[julian]

Could be a bug, can you report it against the repo and link to it here? @whitts

I cannot reproduce this bug on my local installation with the Q&A plugin.

@julian Thanks for checking - i just upgraded to the latest version hoping that it might fix this issue but now i cant mark posts as answered without nodebb crashing:

Newest version crashing nodebb 0.9.3 when marking post as answered · Issue #28 · NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer

I just upgraded to the latest version and when marking a topic as answered, nodebb crashes with the following error: 17/3 11:43 [18316] - error: TypeError: topics.deleteTopicField is not a function at C:\Apps\nodebb\node_modules\nodebb-p...

Thanks,

@whitts latest version doesn't work with NodeBB v0.9.x. You need NodeBB v1.0

[pichalite]

@whitts anyway you can't expect the plugin to be fixed for NodeBB v0.9.3 even if it doesn't work for that version. you will need to upgrade NodeBB

Is it possible to set a category ID so it's only Q&A and in other categories it is not possible to make it as question?
