Moving Questions To/from another system, is possible?

Question

Well, I am a staff member in a programming community with six years and about 20 000 members. And actualy we use SMF as the Forum system, and we are thinkin about integrating Q2A into our forum. As a separate application, but sharing the same user database. And we would also like to create a plugin for moving questions from the Q&A to the Forum and posts from the forum to the Q&A. I would like to know if that is possible to do with the actual plugin system. Our actual requirements are:

• Having a button in the question for moving the question
• Having a page where we could pass some parameters to configure the action before moving the question.
• Create a special question to redirect to the forum post

 

Thanks,

Scorch

Hi Scorch and welcome! With the plugin functionality coming in the 1.4 developer preview (hopefully next week), all of this will be possible. Your plugin code would need to manage a database table that maps questions to forum posts. The rest could be done with a theme layer and a page module.
