Modifying qa_db_blob_create() ?

Thu, 17 May 2012 00:38:19 +0000

Does somebody know how to modify the function qa_db_blob_create() in qa-db-blobs.php that way that it stores the original image under same blobid name with imageextension as well to a folder ? (Received from qa-wysiwig-upload.php line 110 )

If at least that is possible, one can get hands on that image through the id and use any tool to modify it.

That would help as long there is no complete plugin to store images in the filesystem or plugin for advanced image handling and as it still would be as well in the database there wouldnt be problems to upgrade once a plugin is available.

Thanks in any case...

Tags also does not work

Wed, 16 May 2012 18:23:48 +0000

By commenting out qa_register_module('search', 'qa-search-basic.php', 'qa_search_basic',

Tags also does not work. So, is it right to assume that search module should be enabled if we need tags for classification

New plugin: "Widget Anywhere" (beta, help suggest new positions)

Wed, 16 May 2012 16:34:39 +0000

I noticed that a lot of questions get asked here by site owners how to add small bits of content to their site. The usual answer is to make an advanced theme, but that can be a bit much just to add a few modules here and there.

So I've made a new plugin that allows you to put any content anywhere (almost). You just click "add a new widget" then choose what position on the page it should go (e.g. header, sidebar, after the question text) and what pages it should be displayed on (e.g. question pages, recent questions, user pages etc). Then enter whatever HTML you want.

Download the plugin
Or view Github repo

It is currently beta so try it and let me know how it goes! Note, there aren't many page positions right now but I will expand them. Let me know if there are some more positions that you want!

Debug Mode - Setup, Control, View and Theme

Wed, 16 May 2012 11:18:26 +0000

what does Setup, Control, View and Theme indicate in debug mode.

In my installation 67% of the time is in setup. Also performance marginally increased when I deleted plugins including WYSIWIG editor. Some of the modules that are not being used were commented in qa-base.php

Email notification on ANY event?

Wed, 16 May 2012 01:53:57 +0000

Is there a way to be notified when events related to new questions, comments, edits?

In particular, I have anonymous questions/answers sitting there waiting for a moderator to CHECK to see if something is pending.

Ideas?

IP block not working?

Tue, 15 May 2012 18:40:50 +0000

Even though I appear to be blocking an IP, they still are posting "comments". This IP address appears in the email sent to me when comment is posted. Maybe it's fake?

Thanks,

Is there any way to escape square brackets when using the Syntax Highlighting plugin?

Tue, 15 May 2012 18:01:53 +0000

With the Syntax Highlight plugin in use, I cannot add text like [code] to my questions, answers or content because it will be interpreted by the plugin and converted. It seems a silly request but since I installed the plugin, I wanted to give the users reading about the plugin on the site a simple example of using it to format their code and it keeps getting interpreted by the plugin, making it impossible.

Using output buffering to modify the output

Tue, 15 May 2012 11:15:30 +0000

Hi,

I want to make some custom changes to part of the output. Will be too complicated to do it by a plugin because there are many changes and as well, I need to directly overwrite some of the functions which can't be overwrited by a plugin.

My idea is to overwrite the output by using ob_start and ob_end_flush.

I see some occurences of ob_start in 1.5.2 code as well. Should be any interference if I add my own ob_start and ob_end_flush on index.php?

Oauth social login? And integration with Wordpress

Tue, 15 May 2012 03:08:14 +0000

Hi. As in the subject of this note, how can I enable oauth social login also, as on stackoverflow, and also make it seamlessly integrate with Wordpress's own login? I want one place for the user to login and manage their info.

Thanks!

@gidgreen : Image resize and storing

Mon, 14 May 2012 19:28:55 +0000

Its again about real imageresizing while using ckeditor and storing the images in the filesystem instead of database (if necessary).

The approach is having large images resized to lets say 100k/200k max and presetting an image width (proportional). And/or having thumbnails stored somewhere to use them instead of the blobs.

Several approaches have been discussed, like timthumb, plupload and css resizing but there is no solution which makes pageloading with big images fast enough to avoid users run away.

As I cant go on with my work and understand that You are limited in Your time for special features I feel the need to ask You if You can at least recommend a paid developer who can resolve that issue, not exclusively for my needs, but for everyone here.

Depending on the quote I´ll pay it or at least a good part of it.

Thank You in advance

Is there a way to overwrite the core functions without creating a plugin?

Mon, 14 May 2012 15:27:32 +0000

I would like to overrule some core functions using e.g. qa_register_plugin_overrides(), but it seems like I can only call this from a plugin.

I don't really like the idea of these core functions being overruled in a plugin, since in my case it is not a set of function doing one thing (like a plugin), but a collection of function overwrites that has no combined usage at all. Is it possible to load the overruled functions via an other way?

Suggestions for New Version: Please Fix User Page

Mon, 14 May 2012 13:41:11 +0000

Please fix the layout of the user page for the next version. Just use the same layout as popularized by StackOverflow. The current user page is basically impossible to style (unless you want to hack away at the core code, which is foolish) in any customizable manner, due to the use of a table layout structure (use CSS instead) and poor design principles (no use of tabbed layouts, using jquery, for different sections?). Please fix this. User pages are very important to any Q&A website and one major drawback to Questions2Answer is the poor layout of user pages. Thanks.

Q2A multisite problem, Not showing users in navigation of sub sites.

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:26:56 +0000

I imported database from my site, and changed it so it can be set up on local host. it worked well. (update: it doesm't work with clean install either)

I installed Q2A and then installed a second Q2a script inside it and set QA_MYSQL_USERS_PREFIX of second instalation as first one's prefix.(I set prefixes inside config file before installing script)

now I went to Users navigation inside sub instalation and there is: "No active users found" message. but when I click on "Special users" and "Blocked users" I see all special and blocked users as it should be(when I asked a question in second site it showed up in user's list).

also when I am loged in with "Admin" user in parrent site I can log out on secund site and log in with a different user.

points system error? two users with same IP, points for best answer and email incorrect

Sun, 13 May 2012 16:09:55 +0000

If i have two different users, working with the same IP adress:

user A >-login-> asks a question->logoff

user B ->login->answers the question->logoff

user A->login->selects answer from user B as the best

The points for best answer are going to user A, not to user B. And user A gets an email that his answer is the best. It sounds weird, but i need this functionality.
