Sign in via oauth2 I'm trying to give Askbot support for signing in via API. I guess it'd be via oauth2. My take is that

Can both password and oauth2 be supported simultaneously? I wonder if 'password' and oauth2 can be supported simultaneou

@Evgeny Is there any plan to support Python 3?

Hi

In models.post, there's the following:

    #must add revision before saving the answer
    self.add_revision(
        author = edited_by,
        revised_at = edited_at,
        text = text,
        comment = comment,
        by_email = by_email
    )

How come the revision has to be saved before the answer?

Thanks

A similar question was asked before in 2011 http://askbot.org/en/question/3249/how-scalable-is-askbot/ and it seems back then caching support was rather weak. Has the caching support been improved since then? Can Askbot handle 40 pageviews per second now?

I'm trying to follow someone on askbot.org, but clicking on 'follow X' doesn't give a response. The user doesn't appear in my network either. Is user-following supposed to work here?

Thanks

I see that this site supports user-following. Is a new feature in 0.7.39? Was it available in 0.7.22?

Thanks

Hi

If I amend the code, can I remove from the footer "Powered by Askbot version 0.7.39" and the license message?

Thanks

Hi

How come Askbot uses South? Would it be better off without it?

Thanks!

Hi

I'm somewhat confused about the naming scheme for instance creation. In ThreadManager, create() raises NotImplementedError whereas there's a method create_new() which creates a new thread. In TagManager, there's create() but no create_new(). So what are the intended differences between create() and create_new()?

Thanks

I believe this feature was talked about some years ago, but is it available currently? If so, is it enabled here?

Thanks

Hi

I see that Celery is used to handle slow tasks, but BROKER_URL doesn't seem to be set in settings.py. Does anyone know what is the default broker? There's a variable called DOMAIN_NAME in settings.py, but what is its purpose? Is it related to Celery?

Thanks

I've figured out the problem: TransactionMiddleware is enabled, which makes each view function commit_on_response. Basically, nothing gets committed if a response is not created. I think the task should only be fired off after a response.

This comes from the non-modified version of askbot-devel's master branch. I can't quite see why the post matching ID doesn't exist though. The "post_updated" signal is sent after post.parse_and_save() in models.post, so the post ID should already exists by the time the task kicks off.

Hi

The task record_post_update_celery_task always gives a MaybeEncodingError when RabbitMQ is used. It seems to work fine for djkombu though. Is it potentially a problem with race conditions? Here's my celery.log:

Could anyone reproduce it? The problem arises whether it's a question or an answer that is submitted.

Thanks. I agree that it all works, and works brilliantly. However, just for education, since the post object already exists, the comment "#must add revision before saving the answer" above the call is too strong though. There's no reason for it to not work if the revision is added after saving the answer, as the post object already exists. Just for education. :)

Sure. Thanks for the pointers. So does that mean that comment in the edit function doesn't actually hold?
