Question2Answer Q&A - Recent questions tagged tagging

FAO anyone using my Tagging Tools plugin...

I just fixed a significant bug that appeared in Q2A 1.5.4.

If you have it set to prevent low-rep users creating new tags, then it added an onclick attribute to the ask question button. However, Q2A 1.5.4 also added an event to the same button, creating a major bug where low-rep users could not ask questions.

My code has been updated to use unobtrusive Javascript which solves the problem. So make sure to update your code! Github repo is here.

Tip: Force users to add tags!

I could not find this option in the admin panel (and no plugin for that), so I used jquery to not let the user send his question if there are NO tags.

use this jquery code:

// user must give at least 2 tags
if ($("#tags").length > 0){
   var regForm = $(".qa-form-tall-table").parent();
   regForm.submit(function(e) {
       var tagsN = 0;
       // count nr of tags
       var matches = $("#tags").val().match(/\b/g);
       if(matches) { tagsN = matches.length*0.5; }
       if(tagsN<2) {
           e.preventDefault();
           $("#tags").focus();
           $("#tags").css("background-color","#FFFFAA");
           alert("Please give 2 tags related to your question!");
           return false;
       }
       return true;
   });
}

Feature suggestion: Points for question tagging

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:02:05 +0000

Again a feature suggestion regarding tagging.

Many users dont tag their questions as long as admin sets a minimum like now available in 1.2

I thought it could be helpful if other users would have the ability to tag a question, lets say up to a number set by the admin.
If the user could receive points for that, all questions without tags would be tagged quite fast.

The asking user and the admin would be the only people to edit these tags afterwards.

Its an idea only, would be interested in other opinions as well.

Best regards
