I've gotten reports of too many emails coming into users filtering based on tags. http://answers.ros.org/question/238/correct-settings-for-rosanswers-email

I get this error when running the manage.py send_email_alerts

/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/coffin/common.py:54: UserWarning: Cannot translate loader: askbot.skins.loaders.load_template_source warnings.warn('Cannot translate loader: %s' % loader)

The documentation is kind of light on this and I ran into problems with "environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined"

I am looking to install this on an Ubuntu machine, and would prefer to install django from apt instead of from easy install. However the installer requires exactly 1.2.2 of django before it will continue. This is too high for Lucid, which distributes django version 1.1.1. But Maverick comes with Django version 1.2.3.

Can I use django 1.2.3? If so how can I tell the pip installer to use the installed version?

I have a user who is not recieving emails despite having set his email address and subscribed to notifications. His profile inbox shows the notifications reaching him. However he does not get any email. Most people who have complained before have been getting the emails, but they were getting spam filtered. However in his case I do not see the emails in the mail.log on the server.

How can I debug where the notifications are getting lost before getting to the email?

Edit: I've checked their subscriptions settings are all set to instant. They are sending selected tags. And they have several active tags selected on the home screen.

I don't see any reference to his email in /var/log/mail.log

''' Please note - you can easily change how often you receive these notifications or unsubscribe. Thank you for your interest in our forum! '''

Hi I just found an interesting bug. If I put this line in a questions on my instance, it renders correctly in the preview, but doesn't render in the real version:

[ERROR] [1308109245.015874373]: Client [/rostopic_13899_1308109244719] wants topic /velodyne/rawscan to have datatype/md5sum [velodyne_common/RawScan/a36da642742ddd79774fbc755f9c5cdd], but our version has [velodyne_common/RawScan/d34cf5a37a401b668e53c57f6409eb76]. Dropping connection

Same issue here not visible below:

I know it is very close to the link markup, but the fact that it renders in the preview suggests that it can be handled.

It shows my questions and my answers, but it seems to have topped out at 100 answers. And it doesn't show more even as I answer questions.

I did the pip upgrade so as far as I know everything is exactly as from upstream, except for our theme which didn't change.

I can no longer clear tags from searches by pressing the x button next to them. The only way to remove them is to restart the search.

Now that I can, I closed an answer as duplicate. But it still appears on the unanswered list and in searches. Is there any way to make it less visible or should I just delete it?

I have media/js/live_search.js in my skin directory. Do I need to update my skin to include the livesearch? And thanks for the tip on the autocomplete.

Tested as fixed in 0.6.74

For clarity I'm talking about the dynamic window below the title and between the body which shows questions similar to the title.

It's running on askbot.org but I don't see an option to enable it in my settings.

Update:

I have tried adding this to MY_SKIN/templates/ask.html:

<script type='text/javascript'>
    var sortMethod = undefined;//need for live_search
    var minSearchWordLength = {{settings.MIN_SEARCH_WORD_LENGTH}};
</script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='{{"/js/live_search.js"|media}}'></script>

and I updated live_search.js from the default template.

I was considering installing using git, but couldn't find any tags to use.

Please give a shot to the latest version - available both at github and PyPi.

The getter function for the subscribers on instant notifications for the comments did not have a tag filter, added now.

Initial tests with 0.6.74 show that at least 1 correctly went through and one was correctly filtered out.
