[DBTech] Random Questions v2 (vB4)

Random Questions: What is it?

DragonByte Technologies is proud to present version 1.0 of [DBTech] Random Questions.

The Random Questions mod is intended to increase activity in your forum, attract back old members, and encourage members to form friendships (and thus stay).

It accomplishes this by allowing/encouraging users to answer random questions about each other. The questions are settable by the admin (5 included in the Lite XML as an example). The questions can be anything from ?What do you think {usernames} favourite game is?? to ?Do you think {username} Wants a pet dinosaur??. These questions usually serve to bring random people closer together, and have people communicate with each other who otherwise might not have. It's a great way to inspire closer bonds in your community (And, of course, having friends is one of the big reason people stay on forums).

That's not really the intention of the mod. Our plan with this was for it to be like the facebook application, a place where people can go to kill time.

I like this. Looks like a fun mod. Need to think of the best way to use it now

When I installed. Have the red X's for the avatars and My who's online went blank. Might be mix matching with one of the other mods. Anyways I like this mod but had to disable until update then try again. Sorry DragonByte Tech

Updated to 1.0.1:

All errors reported should now be fixed.

Please report any new issues should you have any.

Thanks,
David

I still get the red X where people that don't have an avatar. If they do the avatar shows.
After that good mod. Thanks

Tagged..looks great this does

Nope! When installed you can?t change your settings (options)n in the usercp because of this error:

This will be fixed in v1.1 expected to be released later today or tomorrow.

Is there a way to have only members that post show up? I have a lot of members that registered and never come back.. Then it always goes to them. How about an option like members with so many posts..
Just asking.. Works great for me but the red x for the avators when the people don't have one..

I had to disable this as it was breaking the Activity and Status Update tabs in users profiles.

I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence that it was these two tabs or if it would have broken any tabs placed after the Random Answer tab but it was causing them to be blank.

The other tabs displayed perfectly again after uninstalling this mod.

Hopefully it is something simple to fix :)

Yeah, the tabs will be working perfectly in the next update, which will be out ASAP :)

Fillip

I cant even access my forum now :(

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'D:\Hosting\6245095\html\forum/dbtech/random_questions/hooks/template_groups.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in D:\Hosting\6245095\html\forum\includes\adminfuncti ons_template.php(5231) : eval()'d code on line 6

Can you please check that that file exists in the location mentioned in the error?

Fillip

When I click teh Random Users from navbar a page can't be found error occurs. Do you have advice? THankshttp://www.site.com/community/dbt_rq.php?do=answer

Can you please verify that you have uploaded the files found inside the "upload" folder to your "community" folder on the site?

Fillip

Random Questions has been revamped and updated to v2.0, and now contains new features like rating answers and more options for deciding who to answer questions about etc.

We hope you enjoy this update :)

Forum NOT working~~~~~~ HELP!!!!!!!

Warning: require_once([path]/dbtech/random_questions/hooks/cache_templates.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(1269) : eval()'d code on line 188

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/celticway/thecelticway.net/forum/dbtech/random_questions/hooks/cache_templates.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear') in /home/celticway/thecelticway.net/forum/includes/class_bootstrap.php(1269) : eval()'d code on line 188

Not working for me either. Pressing submit does nothing. The skip button works though.

thanks for the help in getting this uploaded and fixed..... appears to be working ok but how do you configure it.... is it dependent on usergroups

I have installed the lite version and so far it looks pretty cool I do however have a few questions as I am interested in the pro version.

I would like to make this feature more visible for my members maybe you have add a feature in the admincp where we can set the random questions in various location such as postbit
near there member name so a member can just click and answer a question about this member.

I would also like to see a vbadvanced module to for this mod.

I also just noticed that when I choose random member and answer a question and click Submit it does nothing, but the skip question seems to work.

Also noticed that if I view my own profile and click "Request This User To Answer Questions About You. " and click Submit I get this error message "Invalid Action Specified."

Personally I think this is a glitch, you should not be able to go to your own profile and have this feature "Request This User To Answer Questions About You." doesnt make much sence

This means that you do not have all the files uploaded either at all or you have them in the wrong place. Please check you have all of them uploaded.

Yes, go to edit a usergroup and you will see a few options.

That is interesting. I could look at something like this in a future version.

The request feature was just something I forgot to take out. I'll release a fixed version soon.

Also for the bug you have, I will look into this right away.
