Thank you Kai. Right moment to do it :)

Hey Kai! Just glanced at the code. Probably I missed it but is the plugin performing the point update after changing owners?

Good point, no, it is not. We actually should use q2a-built-in-functions to do all those changes... feel free to help out :)

Answer 8

A widget for "my favourite tags" in a way you could search tags to add them to your favourite tags or delete tags in the widget.

Answer 9

Answer 10

User blocking user.

A user block another user from sending private messages, answer your questions or comment your answers.

Comments

Not a plugin but this allows blocking of a user to send private mesages to a specified user.

In qa-include/pages/message.php

//change this   
    if ($handle === $fromhandle) {
        // prevent users sending messages to themselves
        $qa_content['error'] = qa_lang_html('users/no_permission');
        return $qa_content;
    }
//to this   
    if ($handle === 'Bluegenel' AND $fromhandle === 'user' OR $handle === $fromhandle) {
        // prevent users sending messages to themselves
        $qa_content['error'] = qa_lang_html('users/no_permission');
        return $qa_content;
    }
   
$fromhandle 'user' is blocked from sending private messages to Bluegenel

change 'user' to the handle of an actual user.
