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

hi gio~logist

i have problem, i can select the post to be the best answer and its showing as Answered, but the best post choosed is not showing after first post

there is no "Best Answer - Posted by Gio~Logist" part showing like in this thread http://www.giologist.com/vb/showthread.php?t=45



i have customizable showthread and postbit template before, not default template anymore, maybe thats what causing it?


what should i do, maybe i need to add the code in showthread or postbit template manually



NB. i have purchase the premium hack too, but the choosed answer still not showing after first post

i am using vb 3.6.8

Hm, not sure what you mean. What areas of this would you like to limit and for what purpose? Just trying to see if it's something worth including in the general release or a matter of you just needing further customization.

Shoot me over a private message with the contents of your postbit template

This is an excellent product and just in time. I was starting to get asked by members for something along these lines. I'm looking forward to the upgrades you're planning. Don't put this bugger on the back burner! Good work!

:up: Thanks for the kind comments. I've been getting great feedback and only plan to make this even better for you all

[nroe]

thanks man!!!

Great mod, paid for the Premium version.

Question, is there any documentation on how to re-style components?

For example. I don't like the way the best answer post is displayed after it's been selected. Where do I play with that?

Also, I want to create a button for "Mark As Best Answer" instead of the text link. Where do I change the code?

And last, the "Answered / Unanswered" prefixes are only being displayed when viewing the forumdisplay of the selected forum. How do you change it so that these prefixes show up when people search, specifically when using the "Todays New Posts" search.

Thank you

[Gio~Logist]

Glad you like it! :up:

Hope this helps:
"Mark as best answer" is phrased, and the answer is currently in template "showthread_answer"


Any other questions, just let me know.

Someone here replied before that he made some changes to his mod. I think it was a 4x4 jeep forum. I bought the paid version but i like what that guy did with the nice icons of posts that are answered.
