2015-10-05 10:58:41 -0500 marked best answer How to keep the Askbot database and it's contents in sync using GIT

I have setup a git repository and cloned askbot code from github to start development. I committed the codebase in our repository. I now have customized askbot using live settings and added few users and posts.

I want to commit this change as well so that my teammate can check out and we have same settings and database throughout.

I want to sync our databases so that not only the schema but its contents is same throughout. How do I do this?

Thanks
2015-10-05 10:58:41 -0500 marked best answer Is it possible to get a theme like answers.ros.org

I really like the ros.org theme. How difficult it is to get a theme like that. Is there already settings for that? Is it also possible to reduce the size of the font in main page like how they have done?

What does it take to customize the "look and feel" of the entire askbot driven site

2013-12-16 02:57:36 -0500 marked best answer How do I start understanding how Askbot works?

I have downloaded and set-up Askbot project in Ubuntu. I am using Sublime Text as my editor. I want to understand the flow of how things work. How do I do that?

Where is the MVC model in the code? Where can I find Views and Templates and Model?

I started looking for some familiar patters but I couldn't find it. For example, I was looking for "Hi there!" string to see the template.

Is there a way to see which portion of the code is getting executed in the browser? i.e without adding checkpoints
2013-12-14 12:07:08 -0500 asked a question How to extract email after google login?

I tried the official google API website but most of the work is already done. I know after user grants permission, we send a request and get their contact. Where is this present in the code?

I would like to auto fill the email address. Any clue as to where I should be looking in the code? I tried looking in deps/django_authopenid/util.py and deps/django_authopenid/forms.py.

It would be great if I could get pointers for facebook as well.

2013-12-12 07:45:28 -0500 commented answer How do I update Askbot if I have changed the Git origin?

Hi Fitoria, I just followed the steps mentioned above and was able to upgrade to the latest. But when I did git status, it showed only the changes I had done. I want to upload the newer version of askbot to my local repo. How do I do this? Thanks
2013-12-11 14:30:47 -0500 commented question Search bar does not work correctly

Yes. I want to try to improve it. Where do I start? The end result should be more like Quora where rapidly provides results as you start typing (It even drops down for a single character) Also, another question I had is what is need for Haystack or other such programs over current implemention of Askbot's search? Why would one want to use that when Askbot already provides a solution?
2013-12-11 14:23:26 -0500 commented question Search bar does not work correctly

Great, thanks! Just curious though, how come it doesn't start searching until 4 characters are entered ? Is this configurable? By searching I mean, we see the loading symbol and a drop down appears
2013-12-11 13:41:21 -0500 commented question Search bar does not work correctly

2013-12-10 12:43:57 -0500 asked a question Question regarding skin customization document

I want a deeper customization for my website using Askbot and according to the document,

Deeper customization by editing default skin

Since the default skin still will change (a major redesign is expected), the best method for deeper customization is via use git revision control on a clone of the askbot master repository. It does require some knowledge of git system.

Some questions:

  1. Is it okay modifying 3rd party app even though it is just the templates and skin?
  2. Is it better to modify only templates but create a separate skin directory which consists only of media folder but not templates?
  3. If am doing this way, is it better to use Zurb foundation instead of Bootstrap since Askbot is going to be moved to Zurb anyway?
