Click on the categories compulsary before "Ask a Question"

Question

I would my user click to any category before asking a question.

As I see that after clicking to a category the "Ask a Question" url is added with ask?cat=xyz.   xyz is the category number.

Now what I want to do is when anyone click the "Ask a Question" without this category number than it should always transfer the page to the category page so that the user can select the category from posting a new question.

I hope it meight me done by something as

if (cat=0) redirect the page to url/categories

I am not confirmed with it.

Can anyone help me.

Answer 1

It's possible with a redirect as you say, but there is a category selector on the 'Ask a Question' page, so why would you want to do this? You can also use the 'Category' options under admin to insist that every question has a chosen category.
