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

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.
I'd appreciate some more guidance or help with how to achieve this for those of us without much knowledge of php.
Here is my code. If you go to "Plugin Manager" in your control panel, then find and Edit Plugin "Answer Forums - Show answered/notanswered In Forum" You can replace it with this and your own image links of course!
Code:
if($vbulletin->options['g_answer_forum_show_forumdisplay']){
// Set cutoff date if once is applied
$af_cutoff = $vbulletin->options['answers_forums_cutoff_date'];
if($foruminfo['g_answer_forum'] AND THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' AND ($thread[dateline] > $af_cutoff OR $thread['g_answer_forum_answer'] != '0')){
if(!$thread['g_answer_forum_answer']){
$thread['movedprefix'] = '<img src="/forum/images/icons/exclamation.png" border="0" title="Not Answered">' . $thread['movedprefix'];
} else {
$thread['movedprefix'] = '<img src="/forum/images/icons/accept.png" border="0" title="Answered">' . $thread['movedprefix'];
}
}
}
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
Is this something that you will add to either the light or premium version?
Having both threads with and without answer functionality in the same forums, is a must for me. Please be so kind to add this.
request :
to add donation icon for select usergroup that answer questions .(that way people could donate to those people)
Global search for all un-answer questions.
automation add reputation to select answer
pm send from person that click for best answer not by user that make the question if he did not click for best answer .
personal answer stats in postbit .
also make it when you check for new post in navlink search page show you answer and un-answer prefix to make it easy for member and staff find post .
