It seems that in the current master, git commit 57afe9a2fd05d31094b005c87bc0cafbb207677c the osqa command doesn't work?

What was the last version this has been tested to be working?

$ python manage.py askbot_add_osqa_content
b"WARNING!!! You are using a 'locmem' (local memory) caching backend,\nwhich is OK for a low volume site running on a single-process server.\nFor a multi-process configuration it is neccessary to have a production\ncache system, such as redis or memcached.\n\nWith local memory caching and multi-process setup you might intermittently\nsee outdated content on your site.\n"

Ok, for real now. :-)

I combined the work from https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/pull/833 and https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/pull/827 into a new branch and refactored it into what I think should become the new installer.

With the refactoring I wanted to separate logic and generics from the concrete things we do when we install Askbot.

The deployables module has all the things we want/can do with the installer. In deployables.objects one can see that we can:

• copy files
• render files with Jinja2
• create empty files
• create directories
• create symlinks to directories

In deployables.components one can see which files we want to deploy how. For instance, settings.py shall be a rendered with Jinja2.

The parameters modules has all the input/control related information. In parameters/__init__.py (and only there!) the parameter names are associated with validation classes. For instance, the parameter database_engine is validated by an instance of class DbEngine.

For each parameter we want validation there must (!) be a validation class defined. I structured the classes into the files cache.py, filesystem.pyand database.py for clarity, but this structure does not carry any semantics. ConfigManagers are used to create relationships between different parameters. This has been moved to parameters/configmanagers.py and as we can see, there aren't many relations i.e. there is not much work the ConfigManagers (have to) do.

The state of this is "works on my machine" and container installations do not yet work, as the container scripts expect a different file layout than the installer creates. This doesn't create problems for the default use case.

Google has closed its OpenID 2.0 implementation to new hosts, which breaks the ability to use it for new installations of Askbot: https://developers.google.com/+/api/auth-migration#timetable

I believe the necessary action is to change to using the Google+ sign-in system: https://developers.google.com/+/api/auth-migration#oid2

Or apparently without using the Google+ system which they allude to by saying "You can still hand roll your integration to Google using the OpenID Connect protocol if you prefer" here: http://googledevelopers.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/welcome-openid-connect.html

model, management command, and test code

Hello Evgeny

I added tag synonyms to askbot. who-pre-sets-the-tags-admin-or-users (pjunks is me)

This is my first attempt to contribute to a project using git/github. Please let me know if I missed something.

Thanks for a great app by the way.

Hello, trying to install Askbot via

pip install askbot psycopg2
askbot-setup

But when I try to run any command like

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate askbot
python manage.py migrate django_authopenid

I receive an

Is there anything missing?

Hello,
I installed Askbot locally following the documentation step by step.

When I run Askbot using python manage.py runserverhostname -i:8000 everything seems to work fine but using the above apache configuration it seems to end in a neverending loop. The output of the log is:

tail -f /var/log/apache2/askbot_error.log 
mod_wsgi (pid=31580): Attach interpreter ''.
mod_wsgi (pid=31580): Imported 'mod_wsgi'.

Script timed out before returning headers: django.wsgi

But it wont go any further and the site wont stop loading...

Any idea why and how to solve it?

I've started evaluating AskBot for our organization.
After installing AskBot + postgresql, running on development server, AskBot seem to work fine until I try to access the Settings.
.../settings/QA_SITE_SETTINGS/#id_QA_SITE_SETTINGS__APP_URL__en

Then I get this error:

AttributeError at /settings/QA_SITE_SETTINGS/ 'SortedDict' object has no attribute 'insert'

Here is a link to the error page I get

It seems that some of the settings work ok (for example .../settings/LICENSE_SETTINGS/) and others give the same error (for example, .../settings/FLATPAGES/)

Any idea?

Hello!

I'm using django 1.8 and using the latest master branch. I'm trying to install as an add on app, to compliment the rest of my site. I've run into an issue where django is deadlocked, even doing simple things like 'manage.py shell'. I've traced it down to the populate method in django/apps/registry.py being called from within itself (ie twice in the stack), which is deadlocking the 'self._lock' call in populate.

I've tracked this down to the init_badges() line in askbot/apps.py shown below:

` class AskbotConfig(AppConfig): name = 'askbot' verbose_name = 'Askbot Q&A platform'

def ready(self):
    from askbot.models import badges
    try:
        badges.init_badges()
    except:
        pass

    import followit
    user_model = get_user_model()
    followit.register(user_model)

`

When I comment out the 'badges.init_badges()' line, the deadlock goes away. Where should I move this logic to?

Fix the following problem:

http://askbot.org/en/question/11150/link-is-displayed-correctly-in-preview-but-not-in-actual-post/

[JSON][1]

  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON

I have upgraded Django to 1.7.

• Moved migrations to south_migrations
• Made imports to json, Truncator, md5_constructor backwards compatible
• Updated some relative import paths to include parent packages
• note in models/__init__.py the usage of followit was commented out because of app registry order. The fix might need to be in followit config

HI,

I am facing the following error while installing askbot through virualenv using git repository - python setup.py develop File "setup.py", line 129 **************************************************************""" ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Please suggest me what can I do ?

Thanks

It seems that for whatever reason, local registration doesn't create an account in database even though it does send a verify token, which is unfortunately invalid?

Using master commit: 1501f57bfe9741baf57415639cd34eec3b43b1c4

when I run

python manage.py collectstatic.

I notice it moves over html and md files. It probably shouldn't.

When I run python3 ./setup.py install, I'm getting this error

error: Django 2.2.28 is installed but Django>=3.2 is required by {'django-picklefield'}

This makes sense, in __init__.py, we have

Hi, I tried asking the question on the askbot forum but I didn't receive the email when I signup. Is there an export function in askbot?

I sometimes am working in offline setup and would like to get access to the data of a forum.

Thanks!

I want the following markdown code to work:

```python
if True:
    print("hello")
```

I've added a custom ASKBOT_MARKDOWN_CLASS to load fenced-code-blocks extension:

import markdown2

class Markdown(markdown2.Markdown):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        extras = kwargs.get('extras', list())
        extras.extend([
            'fenced-code-blocks'
        ])
        kwargs['extras'] = extras
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

When I submit the question, it does render correctly on the first load:

However, when I refresh the page, the code loses newlines (and the syntax colors are oddly different):
