word press theme

Question

This may be the stupid question, so bare with me. I am new to all of this.

 

I want to create a question to answer site and I have already isntalled the question2answer.org open source on my server. I love it. I would like to change the theme and I notice that question2answer.org has a market place.

While I was searching for other themes, I came across these website. http://templatic.com/demos/?theme=answers and http://wp-answers.com/. I then noticed that you can integrate question2answer with wordpress. , Does these two question2answer sites relay on the question2answer.org ? Or is Wordpress a seperate questoin2answer site ? Why would people want to integrate the question2asnwer.org with word press anyways ? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Question2Answer ( known as Q2A ) is a different project than WordPress and there is no relation between them but Q2A provide feature to integeat with WordPress user database and so once you have integreated it with WordPress Q2A will use WordPress user information to authenticate by using and comaring WordPress user role and permission with Q2A user role and permission.

Technically there is no relation of WordPress theme with Q2A theme and both are independent to each other. But You can find similar WP theme as Q2A Snow theme here http://store.q2amarket.com/store/products/question2answer-wp-pack/ this pack includes Snow theme for WordPress and Widget, shortcode and function for WordPress to display some Q2A activities on WP website.

That is difficult to say any reason why people integreat Q2A with WP. But most comon reason is to integreat same user database/authentication which allows user to use same userid and password for both system Q2A and WP. Q2A also offers same Single Sign On for other CMS as well.

I hope you will get more answer from community members...
