Can an admin mark question as answered?

We have a lot of new users who are not familiar with askbot and are not marking the questions as answered is there a way for an admin to mark a question as answered.

Hello, to get it done quickly - please change these two things:

(1) - function askbot.models.user_assert_can_unaccept_best_answer in the file askbot/models/__init__.py - this assertion is used for both accepting and unaccepting the best answer.

(2) - show icon "accept answer" to admins - around line 207 in askbot/skins/default/templates/question.html by changing it from

{% if request.user == question.author %}
       <img id="answer-img-accept-{{ answer.id }} ...

to

{% if request.user == question.author or request.user.is_administrator() %}
       <img id="answer-img-accept-{{ answer.id }} ...

Properly it would require adding a couple of settings to the configuration and updating test cases and fix the rep awarding.

Edit: one more thing -

change file askbot/skins/default/media/js/post.js around line 288

var bindEvents = function(){
        // accept answers
        if(true){//edit on this line: was questionAuthorId == currentUserId){
            var acceptedButtons = 'div.'+ voteContainerId +' img[id^='+ imgIdPrefixAccept +']';

that's a partial fix... the icon shows up and I made the edit to __init__.py but when I click on the accept icon nothing happens.. is there something I'm missing..

You are right, added another small change, seems to work then.

Not yet, need to write test cases, the changes in my quick answers are just hacks that may be unreliable and have side effects.
