README

Stack Overflow–style questions and answers for any Flarum 2 tag. Free and MIT.

A question with its accepted answer, comments and votes

Turn a tag into Q&A and its discussions become questions:

  • Answers sorted by votes, the accepted answer pinned on top, and a short comment thread under each answer, so answers stay answers.
  • Votes and reputation per tag ("Top helpers in Help"), on each member's profile, and beside names in threads.
  • Question states: Unanswered, Answered, Solved, Closed as duplicate (linked to the original), with a filter on the tag page and an Unanswered for you feed (tags you follow with FoF Follow Tags, or every Q&A tag).
  • "Is this your question?": similar solved questions appear while someone types a title.
  • Bounties in reputation, or in Money when antoinefr/money is installed. The accepted answer gets it; when time runs out, the top-voted answer posted during the bounty with 2+ votes gets half.
  • Community editing: trusted members improve answers, everyone else can suggest an edit. Every change is kept, with word-level diffs and roll back.
  • Review queue for low-quality answers, a member's first answer and suggested edits.

A Q&A tag: states, votes, answer counts and top helpers

The review queue: a suggested edit with its word-level diff

Install

composer require ernestdefoe/answers
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

Enable it, then edit a tag on the Tags page and switch on Questions and answers. Bounties close on Flarum's scheduler (php flarum schedule:run every minute).

Works with

  • FoF Best Answer: one click (or php flarum answers:import-best-answer) imports its Q&A tags and best answers as accepted answers. Its button steps aside on questions.
  • FoF Gamification: each vote is also cast there, so its points, ranks and leaderboard count it; its own vote buttons are hidden on questions.
  • Money (antoinefr/flarum-ext-money), FoF Follow Tags, Approval, GDPR.

Permissions (tag-scoped): vote, start bounties, suggest edits, edit others' answers, review, vote to close, and moderate questions. Editing others' answers, reviewing and voting to close also need reputation in the question's tag (1000 and 500 by default; moderators need none).

For other extensions: ErnestDefoe\Answers\Event\AnswerAccepted, AnswerUnaccepted, QuestionClosedAsDuplicate, BountyStarted, BountyAwarded and ReputationChanged, plus users.answers_accepted_count and answers_solved_count.
