Email notification are ok since you are in control over the email format . Email reply integration can get messy since email formating is pretty loose. Maybe a plugin for various email clients can be created to post an answer or a commend based on email notifications...

I would like to create a faq page that explains the importantance of karma/reputation number and what options are unlocked at various karma levels.

I remember that in OSQA there were some placeholders that could be used in the FAQ page and osqa would replace them with the value defined in the admin page.

I see there are some similar strings in the translation PO file, but I don't know how to use them.

Is such option available in askbot?

Thanks!

Is there an option to load the content of about and faq page from a static file... mabye use markdown.

Right now in the admin section I can only see some textareas, but editing text in there is not easy. Right now I will have to copy the text in a text editor, edit, copy it back and save.

Thanks for the answer. The django_authopenid was not removed... not sure what was the problem. It was still in testing so I just done a clean reinstall. I have also tested a new update and this time it was ok (but i think that no DB migration were required).

Adi, have you done python manage.py flush some time before the upgrade?

If so - then the migration history was erased from the database and the only way to recover is to "fake"-migrate the apps to the pre-upgrade stage. And then run the actual upgrade the command is:

python manage.py migrate <the_app> <schema_version> --fake

But you need to know to what schema version to go, for example:

python manage.py migrate django_authopenid 0005 --fake

Secondly - might have you accidentally removed app django_authopenid from the list of installed apps?

Thanks for you comment! It looks like „django_authopenid” is listed and has 5 revisions. I am just following the documentation and information available at http://askbot.org/en/question/310/how-do-you-manage-askbot-and-upgrades.

I am trying to migrate askbot to the latest version available in devel branch and running : python manage.py migrate i got the following error:

Also if I drop all tables and try to do a new install following the documentation, I got the following error:

$ python manage.py migrate django_authopenid
The app 'django_authopenid' does not appear to use migrations. ./manage.py migrate [appname] [migrationname|zero] [--all] [--list] [--skip] [--merge] [--no-initial-data] [--fake] [--db-dry-run] [--database=dbalias]

Uh... Thanks for the answer. I only did `python manage.py migrate` as in your other answer there was no notes about `python manage.py migrate askbot`

Hi,

I am trying the git branch and I got the following error. Does anyone has any clue of what might go wrong ... or what should I do to fix it. The version installed using pip is working.

I have upgrade askbot based on this information: http://askbot.org/en/question/310/how-do-you-manage-askbot-and-upgrades

It looks like it is related to the database upgrade... droping all tables and recreating the database solved this problem...

Put

STATIC_URL = '/path_to_your_statics'

and

STATIC_ROOT = '/'

in your settings.py

Adi, I've checked carefully now, the django-staticfiles is not used, so please remove it from the list of installed apps.

OK. But what and where are my 'statics' ... I have no prior Django knowledge, just the information available in the documentation

Thans! Since your answer is a comment it looks like I can not mark this question as answered.

I tried to follow the installation steps from here http://askbot.org/doc/initialize-database-tables.html, but when I try to start the webserver I got the following error:

Are there any hints about how to configure static files?

$ python manage.py runserver `hostname -i`:8000
...
.py", line 3, in <module>
    settings = StaticfilesSettings("STATICFILES")

    raise ImproperlyConfigured("You're using the staticfiles app "
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the required STATIC_URL setting.

Where should I report a bug?

I have installed askbot using pip and it looks like django-staticfiles dependecy was left out.
