Is it possible for my site visitors to make reports about mistakes in text, profanity, rude words?

Mon, 18 Dec 2017 15:53:39 +0000

Is it possible for my site visitors to make reports about mistakes in text, profanity, rude words (in questions or answers)?
For example, some sites have “report” plugins so site visitors can select text with mistake and click Ctrl+Enter.

It would be a very important plugin for q2a! Guys, who can create such plugin? :)

How to distribute Q2A plugins and themes?

Wed, 29 Jul 2015 00:27:22 +0000

I was wondering what was the appropriate way of distributing Q2A add-ons. In order to tackle this I thought about the following related questions that most developers might come up with:

Does the add-on need to be licensed?
Under what licenses can I distribute my add-ons?
How can I license my add-on under a license compatible with the core?
Can I license my add-ons with a proprietary license?
Can I charge for distributing my add-ons?
If I create an add-on do I have to make the code public?
Can users distribute the add-ons I sent them?
Can users claim the add-ons as if they were their own?
If someones distributes one of my add-ons,
1. Do I need to be notified?
2. Are they allowed to charge for that?
3. Can they change the copyright?
4. Can they change the code?
Is there any way in which I can distribute my add-on, get the money and make sure no one distributes it for free?
Is it appropriate/well-seen to distribute an add-on which I have received from a developer?
Can I distribute a non-GPL-Compatible add-on which I have not developed?

If you happen to have any question and a clear answer (ideally with a source linking to the Free Software Foundation site) feel free to add them.

How to mod Q2A to work as a quiz-contest site?

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:10:46 +0000

I'm thinking that Q2A would be perfect for a quiz or test site. Just one thing is needed for this to work. The person submitting the question would be able to specify the correct answer as they are posting the question (in the "correct answer" field). Only the correct answer that matches will be accepted. If a wrong answer is provided, a customizeable message says to the effect, "Sorry, that is incorrect. Please try again.". The first person to provide the correct answer is the winner of that particular question and would receive points. And the question would be automatically closed after correct answer is given, but people might still be able to comment on the winning answer. Obviously, this add-on is for types of questions that require short objective answers, like "What is the capital of Norway?" or "How many inches are there in a mile?". This would be a great way to give users incentive to participate. Any question that has a "one correct answer only" could have a special icon next to it in the title to indicate it's a quiz question. What do you guys think? It seems like a relatively simple plugin for an experienced coder to do. There is a plugin for Wordpress (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quiz/) that allows poster to create custom answers for captchas on any given post. It's workable, but not ideal, and a round about way of only accepting correct answers. Seems like a quiz-option functionality would open up Q2A to a whole new market (teachers, education, etc). Anyone have ideas or interest in a quiz mod/add-on for Q2A? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
