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

Two things

1 - does this work on 3.7.2?

2 - it would be great if the best answerer gets some Icredit points???

Hey
I'm using postbit_legacy and didn't see any links for best answer with the mod.
Can this probably be a bug?

[bada_bing]

Sorry for the lame question but can you explain what this actually does? Currently I have a feedback forum which is designed for members to ask site related questions and the staff or other members can help answer the questions, what does this mod do in place of that???

Any now the $1 million dollar question is will this run on vb 3.5.x

Thanks

i'm interested in the premium version. when do you think you will have it?

[Pirat3]

great mod but can you make it so admins and mods can remove "best answers" to deal with abuse?

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:

i think i might have been doing something wrong :lol:

thank for the fix :up:

make it compatible with some kinda award or point system...
make a plugin to show members who answered most questions...

Adding the functionality to have vBExperience points for Answers, will be enough to give vBExperience awards to members.
I was not thinking about vbplaza.

Set a forum as answer forum -> Users threads are displayed as "Unanswered/Answered" depending on whether or not they've marked a post as the best answer.

Yes. I will be creating an option to reset the best answers. Since this is a universal add-on, i will make sure to include it in the light version as well for you guys

Hm, i actually tested this with postbit_legacy . I'm guessing you have a custom theme? Can you send me over your template via private message?

The premium version should be available within the next couple of days - a week (if it takes longer, i will let you guys know.) Trying not to overwhelm myself which too much support at once, or else it takes away from the quality of the support given

If this is added, it will be added within the next 2 weeks.
