How i can change question list shown at index page ?

Question

I want to display for example questions with most views (questions?sort=views) or unanswered questions in index (homepage) page how can do that ?

Answer 1

Assuming you're in Q2A 1.4, use $QA_CONST_PATH_MAP in qa-config.php to map the questions or unanswered page to the home page, for example:

$QA_CONST_PATH_MAP=array(

  'questions' => '',

);

 

Then, if necessary, you can change the default sort order in qa-page-questions.php by adding this line before switch ($sort):

 

if (!isset($sort)) $sort='views';

 

You'll also need to change qa_qs_sub_navigation() in qa-app-q-list.php to add an explicit sort parameter onto the 'recent' item, like in the other items.

I'm trying to do "/hot" page and tried to add 'questions' => 'hot', in QA_CONST_PATH_MAP but /question page just turns to hot page, but i need to display /hot content in index page. Thanks.

In that case you want to use this:
'hot' => '',

I think i'm don't understand something (or i'm not expressing my thoughts correctly in english), however i'm replaced all qa-page-default.php code with qa-page-hot.php code and i got exatly what i'm wanted. Is that action is not harmfull to anything, can couse something odd (code security or something other) ?

Yes, that should work too, until you upgrade Q2A.

This is so simple! :) I used that map just to renamed the links, didn't think of using it that way. Maybe you should put that in the method's comment Gidgreen! Works like a charm.
