Direct link to Q&A

[nimdanor]

We need to create the ability to create an LTI link directly to Q & A. And a link to a course that will limit questions and answers about the course using a key word equal to the course name.

But if there is the question is general, we should find it anyway.

This must be discussed in the monday breefing.

Are there more interfaces in the Q&A, is there a moderator view ?

[qcoumes]

Why do you mean by interfaces ?

Admin have the same view, but should be able to edit/delete any question/answer/comment without the need for reputation.

[nimdanor]

I need a dsicription of the possibilities of the installed software. I don't know the possibilites.

i would like to give administrtive privilege to people on a restricted part of the Q&A, How is tis possible with the software currently installed ?

It's simple Q&A where right are tied to a reputation system. Reputation gain for actions and reputation needed to do something are set in config.py, or if absent, use these fault :

# Ask's settings
# Reputation contains the points awarded
# Right contains the points needed for doing action, -1 to disable (do not apply for the owner)
QA_SETTINGS = {
    'qa_messages'            : True,
    'qa_description_optional': False,
    'reputation'             : {
        'CREATE_QUESTION'         : 10,
        'CREATE_ANSWER'           : 20,
        'CREATE_ANSWER_COMMENT'   : 2,
        'CREATE_QUESTION_COMMENT' : 2,
        'RECEIVE_QUESTION_COMMENT': 1,
        'RECEIVE_ANSWER_COMMENT'  : 1,
        'ANSWER_ACCEPTED'         : 20,  # Half for the acceptor
        'UPVOTE_QUESTION'         : 3,
        'UPVOTE_ANSWER'           : 3,
        'DOWNVOTE_QUESTION'       : -3,
        'DOWNVOTE_ANSWER'         : -3,
    },
    'right'                  : {
        'POST_QUESTION'  : 0,
        'POST_ANSWER'    : 0,
        'POST_COMMENT'   : 0,
        'EDIT_QUESTION'  : 500,
        'EDIT_ANSWER'    : 500,
        'EDIT_COMMENT'   : -1,
        'DELETE_QUESTION': 2000,
        'DELETE_ANSWER'  : 2000,
        'DELETE_COMMENT' : 2000,
    },
}

Meaning that, by default, anyone can ask a question, answer and post a comment.

Every questions, answers and comments are visible by everyone.

So it is not possible to have a restricted part on the current Q&A.

[nimdanor]

Are there a systeme of tags ? if there is we could allways associate a tag to question asked in a given course?

[nimdanor]

how can i be an q&a admin on the prod ?

[qcoumes]

Yes, there's a system of tag, here for instance all question related to recusivity on pl-preprod. Currently, every question should have at least one tag.

About the roles on Q&A, they're currently tied to the role of PL. So you need to be admin on PL to be admin on Q&A.

We lack system of group and permissions to allow differents roles on different parts of the website.

[nimdanor]

Let's have groups ;)

[nimdanor]

Depends on #247
