Details on using the Forum Answers Addon. The Forum Answers Addon is included in the Sueetie Premium Edition.

Seeking Answers

Forum Answers adds the ability to mark a Forums Post as a Sueetie Answer. The Sueetie Answers Addon was originally released in Version 3.2 of the Addon Pack with full marking functionality. Future releases will include reporting and other Sueetie Answer features.

Here is how a Forum Post marked as an answer appears in a Forum Discussion thread. The Answer post is styled in darker red with an "ANSWER" designation. You can style your Forum Answers any way you like, of course.

In its most simple description, Forum Answers adds a "Mark as Answer" button to all forum posts. On Registered Members can view and use the Answer buttons.

Image

All processing is done client-side and through Sueetie WCF Web Service Calls, so the post is converted to display as an answer instantly. Upon marking a post as an answer the user is given the option to revert it back to a non-answer.

Image

When a forum post is already marked as an Answer, a "Confirm as Answer" button appears. This gives us the ability to aggregate the popularity of posts designated as answers, to include in Sueetie Analytics Reporting, and to use the mark event in our member points system.

Image

Upon confirming that the forum post is an answer the user is shown a confirmation popup.

Image

Like marking a forum post as an answer for the first time, the user has the option of changing his or her mind with an "Undo Confirm."

Image

No user can mark a forum post as an answer more than once. This includes adminstrators.

Image

Finally, no user can tag their own post as an answer. Members of the ContentAdministrator Role can mark any post as an answer, including their own. Users not in the ContentAdministrator Role will see the following popup.

Integration with the Site Activity Log

A special bonus of Forum Answers is full integration with the Site Activity Log. Cool!

Forum Answers Administration

In its initial release, Forum Answers Adminstration includes a single checkbox to activate or de-activate the feature.
