Discourse Post Voting

Hi, when editing a post which is in a topic_voting mode, the Save button does not display Save or Publish, but Reply. (well in French it says “Répondre”), which I guess is incorrect since when I edit a post, I do not reply to it, I modify it.

My first thought was to correct the label js.post_voting.topic.answer.label and write "Save, (in French “Enregistrer)” instead, but this modified translation to my surprise modified also the standard “Reply” to a post button to “Save”.

There is something to look at here, thanks.

To sum up, when I Edit a post in the post_voting mode, I cannot find a way for the Save button to display. It displays Reply instead.

Hi, can the default active button be “Activity” and not “Votes” because “Votes” breaks the chronological order? Thanks.

There isn’t currently a way in the UI (though plenty of requests for it if you want to add your voice/vote :slight_smile: Add the option to change a topic to Post Voting format by admin/staff)

I believe it is possible using the rails console. I think you need to change the topics.subtype to ‘question_answer’, though I haven’t given it a runthrough recently to double check if that’s all that’s needed, so you may need to test first.

Someone about this remark ? It’s quite disturbing for users not to see replies in chronological order by default, thanks.

It would be nice to show avatars in the comments section, or at least a setting

The design of this plugin is to upvote the so to speak best answer.

The main replies can be viewed by activity(in order) or by number of votes.

Now if you mean the mini comments? Not sure if there is a direct option. But these mini comments are supposed to be replies to the master comment/post. Vs replies to one another

Hi, I was referring to the answers, they are sorted by default by votes, a sort order that is not natural for forums (all forums) users, that are accustomed to chronological order. Either the default should be the chronological order or an admin setting would allow to set it by chronological order (suggestion)

Ok yeah an option to choose default order. But this actually mimics how Reddit does comments

The original idea was a question & answer. Where the upvoted answer would be in theory the best answer by community vote.

I would suggest creating a Feature request topic. For flexibility of choice this is a great idea.

Just noticed another weird thing (is it by design)? I cannot reply to a reply, I get an error saying “You cannot reply to a reply”… Is it that only small comments are allowed ? The reply icon is invisible and if I try to quote a reply to reply to it, I get this error. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I believe by design. As each main reply is meant to be directed towards the Op Post.

The original intent on d sign was for a question & Answer category. In these topics people vote on replies to the Op with the idea the one with the most votes is the recommended answer.

Vs the Solved Plugin which allows the Op & Staff choose a reply as the Answer.

Ok, if I am not mistaken this prevents from quoting text we would like to reply to, but I understand it is by design.

I think the Journal plugin may have more flexibility but without the voting feature.
