Answers Forum
Ever wanted to enable the ability to specify a certain forum as an "answer" forum, where members can post questions and select the best answer given by the community? This is similar to yahoo answers, a very effective website where users can post questions and seek answers from registered users. Answering questions can get to be a mess, keep it organized and save yourself a bit of hassle when dealing with Q&A's. As a webmaster, you already have enough on your hands to have to worry about answering questions sometimes, and need an effective way to do this! Or maybe, you just want to let your community do it for you ;)

How do you designate a forum to be an "answer forum"?

Can you copy and paste the example of the url which is being generated for marking the answers, as well as the a link to the thread it's being generated for? Also, what version of php are you running?

valdet

wow, thats a great one,

Just like Yahoo Answers, Can you make an add-on product about which user has posted most best answers and so on..?

very nice one mate! I like it!
Installed and nominated!

Works just sm00th on VB 3.7.3 ;-)

//Suggestion
- Would be nice to see a "Answered" also in the Threads-Overview, maybe next the "rating" on the left.
That way we can see which threads already have received a proper answer. ^^

Would like to have the option to disallow thread starter from choosing self as best answer.

I was thinking about it, but figured the only reason a member would have for doing that would be if my any chance he was able to get an answer from another source, at which point a link would probably be provided. However, i will consider the option of restricting this.

It would be interesting to give users the option to designate a thread as a question in any forum rather than setting any one particular forum as a Q&A forum. That way we could have regular threads in all of the forums, and those that are question-based could benefit from Q&A layout that this hack gives us.

Sorry about that guys, had to make a couple of fixes for those running php4 still and to include the table prefix.

Also, you can now enable/disable the question status on forum display page ;)

You can do this by drawing a conditional based off of TIMENOW (get the number that gives you via php "echo TIMENOW;") and then create a conditional based off of it.

PHP Code:


		
			
if($thread['dateline'] > 'X'){


}

Take this conditional and use it to wrap the necessary plugins. If you have knowledge of php, that would be the quickest fix atm. Will try and see if i can provide an add-on or something for you guys soon if anything.

Thanks, but i think only the Thread Starter who could choose Mark As Best Answer, now this everyone can choose, even choose the question, not the answer for the Best Answer lol "Install" but still waiting for your update.

Many thanks for creating my request. I am sure many will enjoy it.

Please add this functionality: A 'Is this a question that you want an answer to Yes/No' Radio button on newthread.
If the thread creator selects Yes, then the thread will have Answer functionality.
If the thread creator selects No, then the thread will have no Answer functionality.

This way, the answer functionality does not have to be confined to dedicated forums.

Adding functionality for vbexperience points for answers will make it easy to give an award to members who posted the most answers.

Sorry, had to make that post on-the-run.

For those of you running through un-installation errors. Edit your product and replace the uninstall code with the following.

PHP Code:


		
			
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX. "forum DROP COLUMN g_answer_forum");

$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX. "thread DROP COLUMN g_answer_forum_answer");

Zip updated :up:

ps. I second the idea that integration with one of the various point systems would be INCRECIBLE as well. :)
