About This File

This plugin will restore the BEST ANSWER feature from IP.Board 3.4. It will allow topic starters and users from selected groups to mark a post as best answer. A tag ANSWERED will appear on forum view to show which topics are resolved.

 

@Adriano Faria - Is it possible to move the best reply selection area to the right side? Rather than it being displayed on the left?

I've made it exacly like it is on Questions & Answers. It should be with some CSS on custom.css, which I don't know.

thanks

What's New in Version 1.0.1:

• Fixed permission error on Forums settings.

There were no diffirences installing this plugin. The reason I wanted this plugin was that we admin and moderators can also push the best answer button, but It only shows for the thread starter.

If you choose the groups according to settings, it will work:

It works on my board. I'm not the topic starter for the following topic but I set it as answered:

See the log:

No problem here.

This is great. Can I suggest a future feature, the ability to filter by answered / unanswered the way it worked in IPB3? 

@Adriano Faria

A few bugs:

1.) Certain groups do not see the "Answered" tag in the topic list. I am seeing this in the guest group, and members group. http://take.ms/MFIfU

When logged in as an Admin it shows. 

2.) I have all user groups selected to select a best answer, but being in the member group I do not have that option.

It won't appear if:

• the topic is archived
• the user who's reading the topic isn't the topic author ( topic auhor can set as best answer )
• the user who's reading the topic isn't a moderator ( moderators can set as best answer )

Make sure everything is right.

Shouldn't the best answer be moved to be under the original post? That way my users won't have to trawl through pages of posts to find the best answer.

In a QUESTION forum, yes. I made it to work like that on Discussions forums.

@Adriano Faria Is it 100% compatible with 4.1.10? I've just installed it, but nothing is showing up at the front-end. Yes, I've double-checked the configurations...

I'll try tomorrow. Last time I use it was on 4..1.7.

My (4.1.10) live board:

Also tested on localhost, 4.1.10:

Working fine.

Is the support account still active? I can take a look.

If I am not wrong, but isn´t this plugin built in IPS as standard? No need to install this.

no , i dont think so

Only the topics in the new forum type “Question & Answer Forum” can have best answers by default in 4.x. It’s not a functionality of regular forums anymore. The plugin restores that, just as its description says. 

@Adriano Faria Here it is not showing up. Can you take a look for us? Thanks. Your account is still active there.

What's New in Version 1.0.3:

• Added filters to topics with best answers and topics without best answers.

I noticed an error due to this plugin. Go to the panel moderator 

 

And get this error

 

I fixed the following way

if( $class == 'IPS\forums\Topic' )

Replaced by

if( $class == 'IPS\forums\Topic' && \IPS\Request::i()->id )

 

What's New in Version 1.0.4:

• Fixed error on ModeratorCP -> Hidden Content -> Topics and User Profile -> Activity -> Topics.

@Adriano Faria How about to make an option to mark best answer in a topic without losing too much space on the left side? In other words I wonder to have a plugin where a post could be marked by clicking somewhere inside it and highlighted with the same way used by IPB for popular posts and the link to best answer is placed in the first post.

I installed 1.0.4 and problem still exists when you go in My Profile -> Activity -> Topics:
