7 days means that for 7 days the changes in css are kept in memory?

If I make changes within those 7 days, will the changes not be seen?

If so, is it better to define fewer days of cache?

Answered: How can users block each other from receive private messages?

Thu, 04 Jun 2020 21:34:00 +0000

Hi lipsmega,

I think JacksiroKe's Advanced Blocker Plugin might be useful for that; it says:

Blocked user can not view profile, wall or account of the person that blocked him/her

so blocked users can't send private messages to the one who blocked him.

esqeudero's PM Plus also has a similar feature:

Adds blocking/unblocking users from sending PM

These plugins also include other features that might or might not be useful; in any way, you can contact them to check how they work. They might be available for customization as well.

Unfortunately, I can't vouch for them; does somebody know if they're good for
this purpose? Your opinion is really important and might help lipsmega (and
other users as well) make a good decision.

Here are other suggestions:

If the project maintainer agrees with you on this topic, that feature might eventually be included in Q2A itself
Other community members have also worked on other anti-spam tools (see the Add-ons page), maybe they can give you a hand
Ask one of the service providers to help you on that (or send me a private message)

If you find a solution, please help other community members by sharing what it was.

I hope you find it useful. Have a nice day.

Answered: Is Q2A site compatible with MySQL 8 version of database?

Thu, 04 Jun 2020 20:01:14 +0000

Yes. I'm using it on Ubuntu 20.04. Only downside is no query cache which is used by Top Monthly Users plugin which needs a rewrite. Other than that there was no issue.

Answered: I have set "Recent Activities" as the homepage. Want to change its homepage title now?

Thu, 04 Jun 2020 17:06:29 +0000

Hello Md Belal,

There are two ways of updating this language phrase:

Method 1: If you're using a language pack, then update or add the language phrase 'recent_activity_title' to it; otherwise, the default value is defined in qa-include/lang/qa-lang-main.php:149.

Pros: Quick solution
Cons: It'll be lost after updating Q2A and/or your language pack

Method 2: Update the language phrase 'recent_activity_title' via plugin override, for example:

function qa_get_request_content()
{
    global $qa_phrases_full;

    // Load language file
    qa_lang('main/recent_activity_title');

    // Override 'recent_activity_title'
    $qa_phrases_full['main']['recent_activity_title'] = $qa_phrases_full['main']['recent_qs_as_title'];

    return qa_get_request_content_base();
}

Pros: It'll be preserved after updates
Cons: (1) It's a workaround; (2) it'll load that language file even when it isn't actually needed; (3) If updated with a string, instead of another language phrase, it'll show the same phrase, even after changing the language pack

As pointed out in this comment, it'll update both the page title and the page heading. However, if only the page title needs to get updated, a plugin layer will just do the trick:

<?php

class qa_html_theme_layer extends qa_html_theme_base
{
    public function head_title()
    {
        // Template name: 'activity'
        if ($this->template === 'activity' && empty($this->content['favorite'])) {
            $backup = $this->content['title'];
            
            // New title here
            $this->content['title'] = qa_lang_html('main/recent_qs_as_title');

            parent::head_title();
            $this->content['title'] = $backup;
        } else {
            parent::head_title();
        }
    }
}

Tidbit

This customization can also be applied to other pages shown in the top navigation; it's a matter of finding the right language phrase, for example:

'recent_qs_as_title' for 'Recent questions and answers'
'recent_qs_title' for 'Recent questions'
'hot_qs_title' for 'Hot questions'
'unanswered_qs_title' for 'Recent questions without answers'
'popular_tags' for 'Most popular tags'
'browse_categories' for 'Browse categories' (in 'misc' language file)
'highest_users' for 'Top scoring users'
'newest_users' for 'Newest users'
'special_users' for 'Special users' (in 'users' language file)
'blocked_users' for 'Blocked users' (in 'users' language file)

and/or finding the right template name:

'qa' for 'Recent questions and answers'
'questions' for 'Recent questions'
'hot' for 'Hot questions'
'unanswered' for 'Recent questions without answers'
'tags' for 'Most popular tags'
'categories' for 'Browse categories'
'users' for 'Top scoring users', 'Newest users', 'Special users', and 'Blocked users'

I hope this answer is helpful.

How to edit the ask text field, mean add less rows?

Amazing script. Will buy a beer to the dev soon.

No CSS as it's a td and need to edit it raw somehow.

Many thanks and much love! Best script ever, will push it further to develop.

New plugin ,that disables the right mouse click with pop-up alert

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 22:38:08 +0000

this is my first plugin ...so don't give me that hard XD

Enter in 2016

I have really admired q2a for what it offers and for many experiences.

It is not the one that plugin but getting to these bases deserves for me a great step because I am just beginning to crawl in what I would like to be able to contribute.

I bring this alert plugin in order to avoid that the right click is enabled on PC to inspect code or download images. This will generate an alert notice and will discourage in some way to stop copying css code or others.

in this experience it is quite frustrating to have to see others make merit in differentiation. at least this I think.

download here . and being simple as I said for me it is a small step and something I give to whoever needs it.

Thanks to Jair. For patience.

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 08:33:45 +0000

I am using BunnyCDN to deliver static content (JS, CSS, and Font files) on my website. Although the changes are very small, it took me a couple of hours to figure out the codes that I need to change. Thanks to the Github page of Q2A; finding the required codes became easier.

I have written all the steps here - https://www.discoverbits.in/post/how-to-use-cdn-for-static-content-javascript-css-font-files-in-question2answer-cms/

Unable to receive welcome/reset password email other than Admin email

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 05:55:46 +0000

Wondering if anyone can help with my issue?

New registered user can not receive email.

When I test sending email from admin page, the email can be sent.

And password reset function, only default admin account/email can receive the reset link, all other users can not receive email. (Email reset page shows that reset link was successfully sent).

Email me when there is new answer function also not working, encounter the same issue with above mentioned user.(only admin account can receive email when there is new answer of the question admin raised, but other user does not receive any email)

when checking error log, there is no error message as there were no error appeared on the webpage.

Really confused...

Thank you experts in advance.
