Call for improvement of qa_opt('site_url')

Thu, 11 Sep 2014 02:11:37 +0000

Developing the on-site-notifications plugin and others I got to know that a lot of users have not correctly specified their websites URL in the qa_opt('site_url'). This causes e.g. Ajax plugins not to work since we have another domain (already www.blabla.com is not the same as blabla.com). Check topic on "same domain policies".

The workaround is to use qa_path_html('') instead.

However, it would be nice to have it just working. Because many existing and new developers are writing their plugins depending on site_url.

One idea would be to warn within the admin panel that "site_url" does not match the current website URL and to have a button to update the "site_url". As easy as that.

What do you think?

Changing questions, answers path names to something else?

Sun, 01 Dec 2013 10:22:14 +0000

I want to change the name of these URLs

questions = posts
answers = comments

I have commenting disabled within the admin panel and want to use the answering as commenting by editing the language files.

I tried setting the following in the qa-config.php

$QA_CONST_PATH_MAP=array(

'questions' => 'posts',

'answers' => 'comments',

'categories' => 'categories',

'users' => 'members',

'user' => 'member',

'ask' => 'submit',

);

They work but, so do the old names would this be a protential problem with duplicate content?.

I also have an issue on the public profile page sub navigation, the names have not been changed.

/user/username/questions
/user/username/answers

I tried editing the qa_user_sub_navigation in qa-app-format.php

'questions' => array(

'label' => qa_lang_html('misc/nav_user_qs'),

'url' => qa_path_html('user/'.$handle.'/posts'),

),

'answers' => array(

'label' => qa_lang_html('misc/nav_user_as'),

'url' => qa_path_html('user/'.$handle.'/comments'),

),

Which does change the names but, /user/username/posts goes to a 404.

Any input would be great, thanks in advance :)

Getting the path to image file from qa_blob?

Fri, 01 Nov 2013 07:42:24 +0000

I am testing the new feature "save image to harddrive" instead of blob.

As I see there are folders created in my upload folder defined in QA_BLOBS_DIRECTORY. As it seems these are arbitrary numbers from 000 to 184.

Two questions:

1. What is the mechansim behind the folder numbers?
okay, while writing this post, I found the answer in: function qa_get_blob_directory()
(subdirectories are named by the first 3 digits of $blobid)

2. How can I retrieve the path to the file on the harddisk using qa_blobs table?
This is important as I would like to update my image manager plugin accordingly.

Okay, number 2 can also be solved regarding number 1.

But there is another question now:

3. Why is "849092891028879862.png" saved in folder "008" and not "849" ?

Here is the substring return from function qa_get_blob_directory:
rtrim(QA_BLOBS_DIRECTORY, '/').'/'.substr(str_pad($blobid, 20, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT), 0, 3);

But what is happening here? STR_PAD_LEFT fills zeros to the left, 0, 3 takes the first 3 digits.... ?

Thanks.

How do I change the path from which the css is linked

Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:29:52 +0000

I'm trying to add Q2A to my site. I've currently set it up as such that the Q2A install is in a sub folder but I want the functionality output in the layer above.

domain.com/questionsandanswers.php // this is the location of the Q2A and I just includet the qa-index.php file

domain.com/questions/ //this is the actual location of the Q2A install

Now this works find except it does not seem to be looking for the css/js files in the correct place. FireBug shows that it's trying to load them from domain.com/qa_content/ whereas it should be loading from domain.com/questions/qa_content/. I've changed the QA_BASE_DIR value before including qa-index.php and all the rest works fine - with a few exceptions but their minor.

Any ideas where I need to change the links to the css/js files?
