Excluding Special Users from Posting Restrictions

Sun, 04 Jul 2021 17:44:44 +0000

Is there a good way we can allow special users (Editors, Moderators, Admins) to do posting overriding the site settings like minimum post length etc?

Content gets lost when submitted

Sun, 17 Jan 2016 08:37:57 +0000

Just wanted to let you know that some of my users are reporting that their content gets lost.

I have checked their posts and indeed it is EMPTY. Empty string!

It confuses me because I thought this would not be possible - posting with 0 letters should be prevented. Any clue?

Note:
1. The question title is transferred, the tags too.
2. I am using SCeditor.
3. no error_log

---

Update: I converted a question with empty content to a comment, then I got:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: content in qa-include/qa-theme-base.php on line 2328 - should an empty content not be caught?

Q2A BUG ? $extravalue seems not working while using external app-post-create.php

Fri, 18 Sep 2015 07:18:05 +0000

I'm using this example http://www.question2answer.org/external.php everything seems good, but when i using $extravalue, additional field doesn't show up in question. What i did wrong ?

$type='Q'; // question
   $parentid=null; // does not follow another answer
   $title='Why do birds sing?';
   $content='And why do they fall in love?';
   $extravalue='test field info';
   $format=''; // plain text
   $categoryid=null; // assume no category
   $tags=array('birds', 'sing', 'love');
   $userid=qa_get_logged_in_userid();

   qa_post_create($type, $parentid, $title, $content, $format, $categoryid, $tags, $userid, $extravalue);

Is it bug in q2a ?

How to make users register after posting an answer or question on the site?

Fri, 23 May 2014 05:06:57 +0000

I know there's option to make only registered members post questions/answers/comments but I would like to make some changes where the answer / question form is shown to the user at first and once he submits it, if he's not logged in the site asks him to register/ login to post the same.

How to acheieve this without loosing the form contents and posting after he register / logs in?

Customizing the way posts are listed and post submission/moderation

Sun, 23 Feb 2014 11:09:39 +0000

Is it possible to customize Q2A so that it looks something like http://www.facebookstories.com/ ? I wanted to have the posts listed as pictures instead of titles. Also, I wanted a custom post submission page that would also allow users to link videos and images from other websites.

I was thinking that I'd have two viewer modules, one for the post listings and one for the actual post itself. Then I would make an editor module for the custom post submission. However, I'm not sure how I'd add the additional fields for the linked videos and images to the database. Additionally, I'm not sure if viewer modules would allow me to customize the pages to that extent.

Additionally, I am currently sending every post to the wait list for itpa to be moderated. Is there any way for me to let moderators edit the posts? Also, is there any option for sorting in the moderation menu? Would a viewer for the moderation menu allow me to customize it?

Would it be easier to just create a couple of new, independent pages altogether and just borrow the database structure and user registration from Q2A?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Adding a moderation page to filter posts

Fri, 21 Feb 2014 02:05:09 +0000

I wanted to add a feature to the site where all posts in a certain section would have to be reviewed by a moderator before showing up to the viewer. The moderator would have a special page where he/she could view all the posts and then either reject or accept them. Accepted posts would be added to the list of viewable posts and rejected posts would be deleted. I was wondering if something like this already existed. If not, could somebody tell me the simplest way to create a feature like this? If I have to modify the database structure, then is there also a way to modify the install sequence to include the creation of this additional column in the table for posts?

posting with android device: line breaks not saved for Q A

Mon, 21 Oct 2013 18:47:43 +0000

As i wrote yesterday, line breaks work with comments but not with question and answer fields. Now i am with my Android phone posting this question. I expect that my 3 empty lines get removed after submitting the form. Let's see. If so then we have definitely a bug in q2a. Kai

Voting on questions registered users with email confirmed setting

Hi,

But someone has just answered a question and on their profile it shows their email address and - "Not yet confirmed (only shown to admins)"

Is this a bug or any idea how this could have happened?

Thanks in advance

Bug: Posting plain text with disabled javascript (wysiwyg) will post text without line-breaks

Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:58:01 +0000

I guess this is a bug? Happens in question post, answer post, comment post:

1. Have the wysiwyg editor enabled by default.

2. load your page with javascript disabled, so that not the wysiwyg appears but the textarea

3. post content with line breaks

The result: The text content gets posted in one line. All line breaks get removed.

Where is the problem?

This problem occured with one of my user. She said she has a bad internet connection and the editor did not load. Then she posted content which got a one-liner. This happens to her frequently, she said.

Send question by email to q2a system?

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:20:50 +0000

Got a user request if this would be possible.

E.g. email subject → question title, email body → question body.

Any chance to implement this? I saw that blogger.com is offering such a feature, btw.

// this is not an important feature, but wanted to note it down :)

Only problem I see is setting the tags by email, which are mandatory in my system.

Too slow posting cause send mail

Wed, 12 Dec 2012 06:08:11 +0000

Send mail make slow Q2A system.

if in admin pannel > emails checked Email this address when a question is posted

Case

Someone posting a questions. (send mail to Admin )
comment ( send mail owner )
select answer ( send mail answerer)
etc

I tested both use default php mail() function and smtp with gmail server. Both is too slow.
default php mail() function delay almost 7~10sec. smtp with gmail, too

if unselected notification, all is fast

So I think, to solve this problem AJAX send mail is needed.

Help me ;p

Avoid Spam: Limits per day instead of per hour possible?

Sat, 23 Jun 2012 04:48:32 +0000

To avoid spam I need to control postings, votings etc. using >Admin >Spam controls.

What I need, though, is the option to limit per day.

Who is with me?

User wants to post first comment - msg: "Too many comments received"

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:42:07 +0000

Hi, I have a dummy user that I am using to post questions. Within one hour about 20 questions.

Weird: Now I'd like to post the first comment, but cannot as I get the error message: "Too many comments received - please try again in an hour"

I posted no comment yet, so is this message also related to the number of posts? or is this a bug in q2a or am I missing a setting?

Update: Created new user, tried to comment, same message!?

Before proceeding

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:37:57 +0000

"Before proceeding, please check your question was not asked already"

How do I activate this feature?

Is it possible to add preview before posting question? (pluging tip!?)

Sat, 17 Dec 2011 20:08:47 +0000

I'm using the Syntax Highlighter Plugin by Ernest Mikolajczyk to highlight code like php etc. For this instance it would be handy if people would see a preview of their question before submitting it, like you have on some forums also.
