I want to create an interactive home page using Askbot. Is this possible?
The main page has bunch of questions which has a dump of data that cannot be modified. I would like to change this for my website. (Make it more like Quora)
These are the changes I am trying to make.
- Allow viewing the details of the question for each question.
- Allow answering of questions in the main page.
- Allow voting the questions and answers in the main page.
- Allow viewing answers in the main page.
I started looking at the code and the template: main_page/questions_loop.html loops through thread object and the function in models/question.py update_summary_html renders a template to widgets/question_summary.html.
I have made modifications to the function such that it renders to widgets/my_post_summary.html and it added more context like questions and answers.
The main page now displays the information I need. Is this how the its supposed to be done?
Am i doing this in a right way? Is there a better way to do it. Any advice regarding this would be greatly appreciated. FYI, I am aware of risks of modifying 3rd part app.
Edit: I am having trouble registering the control buttons in the main page. i,e Vote.init() register function doesn't have the information required to regsiter the vote up/down buttons. ie I am not able to send POST commands from main page. What should be done?
