Hi everybody,
I did ad-hoc code to modify question2answer, after few days hard worked, I almost get things i need. This is my site: http://www.tenkana.x10.mx
One more thing I want is a simple news module. I dont want to integrate with WP or any CMS for some reasons so I decided to use Xpression news (Xnews). This is a simple news software and it is said that integrating with existing website is very simple with Xnews. I tried to integrate Xnews module to Question2Answer for days but cannot make it done so I post my problem here for some help.
First, I describle what I have done to integrate Xnews with Question2Answer.
1. my QA site is located at localhost/qa. I extract Xnews into this directory and call it from question2answer.
2. in qa-include i create file named qa-page-news.php. Here are the code inside:
if (!defined('QA_VERSION')) { // don't allow this page to be requested directly from browser
header('Location: ../');
exit;
}
require_once QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'qa-app-format.php';
$template="Lite";
$qa_content=qa_content_prepare();
require_once 'xnews/news.php'; // code to extract content from xnews
$qa_content['custom'] = $xout;
return $qa_content;
3. Next, I modify a bit in qa-page.php:
- Add one more line in to $qa_routing array as below:
'feedback' => QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'qa-page-feedback.php',
'news' => QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'qa-page-news.php', // define new page for news
- Add pieces of code at 'include the appropriate PHP file for the page in the request' like this:
} elseif ( ($qa_request_lc_parts[0]=='user') && strlen(@$qa_request_parts[1]) ) {
$pass_handle=$qa_request_parts[1]; // effectively a parameter that is passed to file
$qa_template='user';
$qa_content=require QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'qa-page-user.php';
}
/*-- My code added here --*/
elseif ( ($qa_request_lc_parts[0]=='news') && strlen(@$qa_request_parts[1]) ) {
$pass_handle=$qa_request_parts[1]; // effectively a parameter that is passed to file
$qa_template='news';
$qa_content=require QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'qa-page-news.php';
}
That's enough for now to review what have been done. Everything seems to work well when i request http://localhost/qa/index.php?qa=news from browser. Here are the image of my news page:
But i got problem when I click on Xnews category of the news or comments link o any link on the news page. It is redirected me to home page of question2answer. I guess that I need to change something around
else {
$phpselfunescaped=strtr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], '+', ' '); // seems necessary, and plus does not work with this scheme
$indexpath='/index.php/';
$indexpos=strpos($phpselfunescaped, $indexpath);
if (is_numeric($indexpos)) {
$qa_used_url_format=QA_URL_FORMAT_INDEX;
$requestparts=explode('/', substr($phpselfunescaped, $indexpos+strlen($indexpath)));
$relativedepth=1+count($requestparts);
$rootpath=substr($phpselfunescaped, 0, $indexpos);
} else {
$qa_used_url_format=null; // at home page so can't identify path type
$requestparts=array();
}
}
in qa-index.php. However, I can not point out what i need to change and how. I tried hard someways couple of days, but I am stuck now.
Anybody can give me solution? or any clue?
I appreciate for any help. Thank you so much.
