it would also be nice to have a method for bulk subscribing people to tags.. for example tags associated with maintainers of specific software. Yes each user could do this but it would be faster and cleaner for us programmatically generate it and send it to askbot

do you have a tutorial for setting up Postgresql ?.. the reason we are using mysql is because there was a tutorial for it in the documentation...

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 +']';

thanks everything is now working :)

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..

any idea where in the code I should start looking to enable this feature.. basically I need to change the js to allow the icon to be shown when the admin is looking at a question

ya you probably shouldn't get karma but for now I needed a hack :)

To get this done I am thinking of having the following settings:

• minimum reputation to accept answer by person != original poster, with admins and mods exempt from the limit
• minimum days to wait to allow such acceptance (can be 0)
• enable/disable the feature

The "acceptor" does not earn reputation in such cases.

well i put in a hack in __init__.py on L241:

if self == answer.get_owner() and not self.is_administrator():

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.

Is there a setting that would allow users to respond to a question via email without going to the askbot site?

We have a use case where we'd like to seed our askbot with a lot of tags that reference packages in our main repository. This has two functions for us, our users will select the appropriate tags and our developers can sign up to get emails from the tags that are relevant to them so that we can answer questions as they come in without looking for them.

sounds good, can't wait to get the hack

great thanks

we can work around it by using two accounts but it would be nice to have the feature for admins. We're getting our Q&A forum up and running over the next week or so

Basically we want to seed a bunch of questions to our askbot forum and would like to allow a couple people to answer and accept answers to questions.
