13 years ago | commented answer | What is the state of documentation for askbot project? I'd rather have askbot be self-evident, than documented. That said the installation procedure and documentation are neither. |

13 years ago | commented answer | Bug: SocketServer.py timed out errors on console I get it everywhere I run askbot. It appears in the console or on the command line that started askbot -- not the askbot logs. |

13 years ago | asked a question | Bug: Maximum length of tag If I use the defaults and enter a long tag I get error: each tag must be shorter than 20 characters
If I change the setting "Maximum length of tag (number of characters)" to 30, and enter a long tag I get: each tag must be shorter than 22 characters
Where did the 22 come from? |
13 years ago | answered a question | What to improve in the askbot theme? Make it fluid instead of fixed width. Everything else could be fixed width, but make the actual Q&A flow properly no matter the text size. |

13 years ago | commented answer | Need step by step installation procedure in WebFaction I think askbot-setup does that. It's all pretty dang confusing: i wish the askbot setup script did less, it would make setup less confusing. The paths end up all wacky. |
13 years ago | commented question | why is mysql required? [fixed] FYI: I'm using askbot on Django 1.3 without trouble, as of now. |
13 years ago | commented question | customize askbot I did this by adding a separate directory below manage.py (after laboriously moving askbot to that level), and adding a models.py there. It worked. Askbot's install script makes this all a bit harder though. |
13 years ago | commented answer | Karma thresholds always reset to default when edited Do you need to add a cache-control header there to keep this from happening? |
13 years ago | asked a question | Bug: wmd editor blows it on bullets Aghg. I thought it was my browser, but it seems pretty universal: buullets don't work right in wmd (the wysiwyg editing tool askbot uses for text areas); I enter three rows: Row one
Row two
Row three
And press "bullets" and they all collapse together:
Manually entering the table is needed, though even then the spacing is large:

13 years ago | asked a question | Karma thresholds always reset to default when edited If I visit the admin page askbot/settings/MIN_REP/ on my own site, I see the Karma thresholds. But if I change a number and resubmit, the page refreshes with the defaults. Is there trick to getting this to work? Karma thresholds

13 years ago | asked a question | Bug: title disappears if your tag is rejected. [patch] Bug: title disappears if your tag is rejected. If one of your tags fails the "use-these-chars-in-tags" check, the title of your question gets erased. 1) Ask question
2) Write a title
3) Put "&" or "%" in a tag name
4) Submit, observe error "use-these-chars-in-tags".
5) Observe title is now blank
(I used preformatted text, because on Chrome, number and bullet lists are broken) |

13 years ago | answered a question | Need step by step installation procedure in WebFaction This answers the same question as in http://askbot.org/en/question/445/how-to-install-askbot-on-webfaction Here's what I did on WebFaction: In webfaction control panel installed app "Python 2.7/Django 1.3" as askbot_webapp
In webfaction control panel created postgres database and remembered password
cd ~/webapps/askbot_webapp
git clone git://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git myaskbot
cd myaskbot/
ls
python-2.7 setup.py develop
askbot-setup
Where deploy the forum (directory)? askbot2
Edit myproject.wsgi to point to 'myaskbot2.settings'
Create a second webapp for the static files
Attach this to /m within your domain.
Soft link askbot/skins/common and askbot/skins/default into the static files directory
Login: the first user to create and account becomes superuser.
Please edit this answer if you have more to add, or find something I missed. |

13 years ago | answered a question | How to install askbot on webfaction? This is a duplicate of http://askbot.org/en/question/686/need-step-by-step-installation-procedure-in Someone could contribute a setup script. WebFaction offers a series of such scripts: https://wiki.webfaction.com/wiki/InstallScripts There a script present for osqa, but none for webfaction. With webfaction you have 1 click setup for django of any flavor you like (e.g. you select the python version and the django version). |
