Support query strings for user profile redirects

Sun, 23 Jun 2019 19:39:31 +0000

I think user profile redirect might be improved a bit. Now I'm facing the following problem:

In the latest version of Q2A, when I go to the URL
https://mysite/user
it should redirect to
https://mysite/user/my-username

Supposing I've installed the q2a-privileges plugin on my Q2A installation, the privileges tab will be available via http://mysite/user/my-username?tab=privileges. If I access the URL
https://mysite/user?tab=privileges

it should go to

https://mysite/user/my-username?tab=privileges

and so on for every URL query string.

I know that by accessing https://mysite/user, I get automatically redirected https://mysite/user/my-username. However, if I insert a URL query string, it will be lost during redirect.

So the questions are:

May query strings be kept when handling such redirects?
If it is not possible, does exist there an alternative to achieve such redirect, while keeping query strings (using only HTML)?

Is there a way to make the Expert rank still require reputation points to gain privileges?

Sun, 30 Dec 2018 18:07:40 +0000

Hello everyone,

for my Q2A site, I was thinking of making the "Expert" role an honorable role. That means, however, that the "Expert" user should only receive the privileges after reaching the number of points I've defined in privileges configuration. By default, Experts are automatically assigned all the privileges that require any number of reputation points.

Is there a way to adjust that so that Experts still need to reach the points thresholds set in the privileges config to receive privileges? I'm pretty much asking what is the level of effort to achieve this. Only a few code line changes in some files (which?) or a big refactor?

Thanks in advance

User groups needed

Tue, 06 Feb 2018 07:38:17 +0000

I need a user group functionality. Can somebody develop it/ direct me to the right source/ company

Test requirements

User groups can be added to the system.
1. Groups can be setup to automatically approve any user.
2. Only (system)admins can create groups.
Users can be assigned to one or multiple groups
1. Initial assignment should be done manually by user. This features is to be amended by SSO to check the appropriate groups for them.
2. Group assignment must be approved. (Either automatically or by admin of group)
Questions can be targeted to groups
1. this means they get a higher priority in listing (in searching priority is disabled). This is very similar to starring question in the “Featured question” plugin for Q2A.
Visibility of questions can be restricted to groups.

Go live requirements

Initial group assignment can be done automatically through the SSO system. This can follow from info student/employee, faculty, registered courses.
Every group has one or more group administrators.

Admin can add admins to groups
Admins assign and approve users to groups

Nice to haves

Anybody can create groups and becomes that groups admin.

notice at the top on user profile change event

Thu, 26 Sep 2013 07:22:49 +0000

Is it possible to have a notice at the top when the user has a new profile type ?

(eg, from "registered user" to "Expert"; I'm doing my test editing the user profile as an admin)

If yes, how ?

Does anyone have it in his/her qa site ?

I've also installed the "privileges" plugin, which should have this option, but I do not see any notice on top when the user transitions from a profile to another

Is closing and reopen questions unilateral in Q2A?

Sun, 22 Sep 2013 06:19:52 +0000

This is a follow up question of the discussion here

http://www.question2answer.org/qa/27502/editing-and-other-privileges

where it is stated the the priviledge to close (and reopen?) questions can be set for all registered users dependent on the points for example. This is good.

What I'd like to know now is this: is closing and reopening unilateral un Q2A, such that it needs only one user (admin / mod / high rep) to close / reopen a question immediately? Or is there a way to preset the number of close / reopen votes (say 5) by "normal" high rep users needed, before the action kicks in, as it is for example the case on Stack Exchange sites?

Editing and other privileges

Fri, 13 Sep 2013 06:05:11 +0000

I just wanted to ask:

1. Is closure and reopening limited to only moderators, or can users with at least a certain amount of reputation points vote to close and reopen ?

2. Is editing possible for non-moderators ?

Thanks.

EDIT: TEST EDIT.

Private category based on "users group" ?

Fri, 31 May 2013 17:14:54 +0000

Has any one set up a feature which would make some category private and only visible to some users (custom group of users or group of user based on privileges) ?

If so could you please share your experience ?

Whare can I get a list of the privileges based on points?

Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:03:01 +0000

I don´t know where can I get a list or table of the privileges that a user receives based on his points.

Or if there is a table on the database that I can check to see the values.

Thanks for your help.

How about a more advanced method of displaying user privileges? [new plugin]

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 03:20:47 +0000

Just thought it would be nice to show users the percentage amount for privileges they haven't yet gained, a la Stack Overflow. So, here's a plugin that does it:

https://github.com/NoahY/q2a-privileges

It even has a nifty css shading system, as shown in this screenshot:

I'm hoping to add a means of notifying users when they have gained a specific privilege, make it all translatable, and add title text for how many points is 100%.

For now, it's more proof-of-concept, but it does work, as long as you have some permissions set to "Registered users with enough points". Let me know what you think.

UPDATE: now shows notifications when a user acheives a new privilege:
