How wants q2a tutorials / q2a guides (text or video), about usage or development?

Wed, 10 Jul 2013 01:37:51 +0000

Inspired by Scott's answer I wanted to ask you if you like to get tutorials on q2a.

1. question:

A - Tutorials on how to install and use

B - Tutorials how to program themes and plugins

2. question:

Do you like to get written tutorials or do you like to watch videos instead?

To note: I cannot promise to do many tutorials and to do it fast, but at least I want to give these q2a tutorials a kick start with my question :)

Also note that text has the advantage that it can be easily changed afterwards and will be found by search engines. If there are changes in q2a core later on, it is not possible to change a video that is uploaded to youtube...

How do I contribute to the (Q2A development) tutorials?

Tutorials and example plugin code was a great advantage to me (and numerous others) when learning the fundamentals of Q2A. I'd like to document the methods I've employed in theming in Q2A to help provide more learning material and help stimulate growth with new adoptors and those working more closely with the platform.

I presume I'd just write some HTML code and submit it to one of the main developers (Gidgreen?)

Feature suggestion: Closed questions for tips or tutorials or similar, is that possible ?

I am wondering if it would be possible to set up a kind of question which is posted by an author including a tutorial or similar in the content section, but closed to answers. Comments could be still open.

One would need an additional entry in the main menue like TUTORIALS / TIPS or similar. What already can be done. Tags and categories could be the same.

Then one would need an admin-option to show this kind of entry either on the Question- , Tag-, or Categories pages on top, or,easier only under the new TUTORIALS / Menue.

The search could throw out both, tutorials and questions. With TUTORIALS / TIPS first.

Then the ASK / TUTORIAL input form would need to be changed a bit.. So that one can choose question or tutorial. Like setting a parameter by a "choice button".

This function could be restricted to moderators or admins only..

I think it would be an excellent feature, q2a could be used as knowledge base as well. On tutorials still could be voted and may be they could be sorted by votes as well...

I hope my understanding of the script is not too far away from the reality, but if there is a place/table where a parameter could be stored, it seems to be not too complicated by changing an advanced theme..
