Help with a book export plugin?

Question

I've created a plugin to export an HTML book.  It's here now:

https://github.com/NoahY/q2a-book

But it's still quite experimental.  It displays the book alright, default is at yoursite/book, but the css will have to be tweaked a bit as well as the templates.  It's fully customizable, anyway, so hopefully someone can come up with a better css file and add that.

There are a few options, not sure if they all work as they should in all situations:

- sort by categories

- include only q's with sel answer, min votes, etc.

- sort by date or votes

etc.

Feedback would be helpful!

Is there a way I can contribute to this plugin? I'm currently working on it.

Answer 1

I think this has great potential, it would make a great free gift to offer a incentive for joining my site so thank you for doing this.

I am getting an error with the user name of the answerer. The user name is displayed as 'name' and  the hyperlink is pointing to 'file://C|User...

Also, would it be possible to include the name of the user that asked the question.

I noticed that the username is only displayed as 'name' for users other than 'Registered User'. i.e Expert, Administrator etc.

Also, another great feature would be able to restrict questions\answers by a date range. So it would be easy to produce say a book of all questions & answers for a given month.

Answer 2

Great plugin. Here are some things I noticed -

* Inside the pdf generated, it says "/q2a/book" URL not found with a apache error message. Whereas the book.html is generated fine with the questions etc under same URL. The pdf is generated but the pdf has one page with the apache error message "The requested URL /q2a/book/ was not found on this server.". But the URL does work.

 

* Can we have in category template, the "category/subcategories" tree as the TOC, rather than each question there ?

I don't know... I don't have this problem.

Answer 3

There should be a way to reset to default any template textarea in the admin --> plugins page.

I think the admin plus plugin does this...

Answer 4

I just noticed that in the book.html, I get only the table of contents with the questions but on click of a question, no answers. Here is an example -
