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


Difference Between Answer Forum Light & Answer Forums Premium
* Enable a questions forum Lite/Premium
* Allow users to choose best answer Lite/Premium
* Question Statistics on forumdisplay Premium Only
* Top Helpers on forumdisplay Premium Only
* Recently Answered on forumdisplay Premium Only
* View Answered Topics Premium Only
* View Unanswered Topics Premium Only
* Answered Topics in postbit Premium Only
* Private Message user who's answer was chosen Premium Only
* Private Message answer provider if the answer is reset Premium Only
* Control user's ability to reset their own topic's answer Premium Only
* Allow usergroups to reset any topic's answer Premium Only
* Allow usergroups to select any topic's answer Premium Only *new
* Integrates with vbplaza (reward answer providers) Lite/Premium
* Integrates with vbcredits (reward answer providers) Premium Only

One Question:

I have a problem with one Hack that should be Overwriting the Plugin (Answer Forums - Show answered/notanswered In Forum), that Edits the Threadbit to Include the "Answered" and "Unanswered" Prefix, so is only being displayed for the Moved Threads and for the other ones isn't being Displayed.

(You Can See It Here: http://inciarco.com/foros/forumdisplay.php?f=332)

(On my Test Forum they're being Displayed Ok, but on that Test Forum I only have 5 Hacks Installed, included this one; inside the Thread on it's First Post Title the Prefix is Displayed without any Problem).

Could you Please share with me/us the Code that I/we can Include in the Threadbit Template to Include the Prefixes, and the Place I should Include them (Before/After what Code)?? (The Idea is to Disable the Specific Plugin (Answer Forums - Show answered/notanswered In Forum) and to Manually Edit the Template to Obtain the Prefixes).

This Code can also be useful to Include Flags on the Threadbit Template to Visually Indicate the Status of the Answers (Green Flag or Red Flag), so it will be very useful for all the Users of this Mod.

I Appreciate Your Help.

My Best Regards, and Again Congratulations for this Useful Mod. :up:

Great :up::up:

Hm. Not sure exactly what the issue is but it looks like it's including itself in the threads with prefixes as well on your forum just fine? Can you elaborate a bit?

Also, this should help you in the threadbit template, if you want to add it manually:
PHP Code:
<if condition="$thread['g_answer_forum_answer']">Answered text<else />Unanswered text</if>

Worked Fine, Thank You Very Much.

I'd like to Document it more in Detail, in case someone has the same Situation:

Step 1:

In threadbit Template:

Find

Code:
$thread[movedprefix]
Before Add

Code:
<if condition="$thread['g_answer_forum_answer']">$vbphrase[g_answers_forum_answered]<else />$vbphrase[g_answers_forum_unanswered]</if>
Step 2:

In Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager

Unselect (Deselect) Active Status for Plugin: Answer Forums - Show answered/notanswered In Forum

Click on "Save Active Status" to Save that Change.

(This Avoid Duplication of Text in case where Plugin Displays it).

That's it. Ir worked Fine on vB373.

My Best Regards.

For information on the premium products, visit the following url:
http://www.giologist.com/vb/index.php?&do=products

Try to refer to the first post as much as possible for the url guys, really trying to avoid bad publicity as far as mods possibly accusing me of "advertising" (they haven't yet, just would rather keep it that way ). Trying to keep a clean slate around here heh

Thanks, we can see the features of the premium version at the url you specified, but what myself and the previous poster are asking is:

What is the DIFFERENCE between the free and the paid version, I can see all the premium features, but I don't know what any of the lite features are, they are not listed anywhere.

So could you please make a list, something like this incomplete list:

Enable a questions forum Lite/Premium
Allow users to choose best answer Lite/Premium
Question Statistics on forumdisplay Premium Only

The above is only a guess, but I'm sure you can update this with the correct information?
