Very often my users seem to write an answer or comment, then perform several edits in the next few minutes.

This generates a lot of alerts (both on-site, and instant emails when enabled), and can be very annoying.

Is there a way to say that edits within, say, 15 minutes, are not alerted again?

On my Askbot site, if I sign in with an OpenID provider, then sign out, then go to sign in page again, the page will be stuck in an infinite redirect loop.

Looking at Chrome's network tab, it looks like the site is trying to reach Facebook's OpenAuth, even though the Facebook module in Askbot is not enabled.

Signing out of Facebook solves the problem, but then if I log in on Facebook, and then go to my Askbot's sign in page again, the problem will still be there.

Hi, I'm running Askbot from git master, and all my URSs in email alerts are like this:

http://mysite.com//question/....

See the double slash after mysite.com.

This obviously results in a 404. I guess I misconfigured, but I can't find what might be causing this. Any tips? Thanks!

Hi, I want to run multiple Askbot sites (because of multiple languages, so I can keep the questions in different languages separated), using one Askbot installation and one database.

Using the same Askbot installation is obviously going to work, but what about the same database?

I wanted to use the same database so all the sites share the same users (who are coming from another site, not Askbot). But I think this is not going to work because all the questions will be mixed together, coming from the same database table.

What do you suggest?

Since I haven't launched my Askbot site yet, but I have thousands of users in my database, I want to change all their email alert frequency settings to the default values.

How can I do that with Django ORM or MySql?

Thanks!

The title says it all. Django has a superuser and staff role, in contrib.auth.models.User.

In my other app (running on the same db), I have some staff member because I need them to access a certain admin page, but I don't want them to receive Askbot's feedback emails :)

Hi, suddenly my list of tag suggestions, when autocompleting the "tags" field, contains entries like this:

_internal_username_1234

That is the word "_internal_", then a username, then the ID of that user.

I have thousands of users, so these tags will be suggested often.

Any idea what happened and how to fix this? I'm using Askbot's git master.

Hi, I just installed Askbot so that it shares the MySql db with another Django project which I wrote. This way people can login with their existing account on the main project.

However, I want to disable Askbot registration form, and just place a link to the main site's registration page instead.

Can I do this without forking and patching Askbot?

Thanks!

Hi, I installed 0.7.42 via pypy and configured it.

After I was happy, I decided I should upgrade to git master, so I:

1. Cloned askbot-devel
2. Installed it
3. Ran all the migrations
4. Collected static files

Everything seemed to be successful, besides the static files, as I mentioned in another question, but the settings are gone; and if I try to, say, change the skin, I get database errors because of duplicate keys.

Any idea?

Should I use current git master or should I stick to a release? I'm asking because I had a 6 month old fork lying around, and I started to use that in my tests.

I've got things working but decided to upgrade. And now things like bootstrap.css is linked in the /default/media/ directory, while the file really is in /bootstrap.

Am I doing something wrong, or is current git master simply not to be considered stable?

Hi, I'm running Askbot from git master on a new community. I've observed already in two instances that one ore more answers are not displayed in the question's page, even though the summary information in the questions list says "1 answer".

I checked out the site admin, and there I couldn't see any difference (except the text of the answer of course) between an answer that was showing and one that wasn't.

Moreover, one of these "hidden" answers suddenly started showing a few hours later.

Could it be a caching issue or what? Thanks!

Edit

The weirdest thing is happening. I'm sure it's got to be a server-side cache issue, because if I flush memcached then the answer appears, but I went through the code, and askbot/views/readers.py has hardcaded is_cacheable to False, so there isn't any caching going on there. But still! This is really puzzling, can anyone take a look?

Hi, In the past weeks, I've reported several bugs using this website, but that's obviously not optimal. Please enable issue tracking on your github so you can keep better track of bugs there!

I've created a pull request with this feature: https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/pull/115

As you can see from the paste above, I was at 0155. The problem has been since fixed, though (see my answer to my own question) and I have also upgraded AskBot to .48.

I didn't upgrade to a version. I was running on .43 and switched from MySQL to PostgreSQL. The command above (in this answer) fixed my problem.

I did this and it fixed it:

python manage.py init_postgresql_full_text_search

I read about it here.

These are my south migrations: http://dpaste.com/1016301/ And this is the output of that sql: http://dpaste.com/1016302/

Hi, I ran the SQL script for the search on Postgres, but I still get errors about missing columns on some table.

column askbot_thread.text_search_vector does not exist
LINE 1: ...estion'  AND "askbot_post"."deleted" = false  AND askbot_thr...

I read somewhere here that you guys run Postgres 8.4, but that's pretty old. Can you please figure out why it doesn't work on 9.1+?

Thanks!
