We made it, and it’s official here: Answer v1.1.0 is now available on GitHub. From 1.0 to 1.1.0, it's not just a stack-up of numbers, but a step forward for your Answer in: security, functionality, and stability. Find out what are the updates, and how you can use them to boost productivity. Don’t forget to update ;)
Plugin: The New Wings to Your Answer
The most notable in this update is the support of Plugin. From small tweaks to big changes, you can make it happen in Answer. Read the documentation of Plugin before busting a move here.
A quick example is to embrace a simplified and efficient user authentication experience with the plugin's OAuth capabilities for your Answer. Now, your community members can sign up or log in with existing accounts from social media platforms. For adding other log-in options, admin can go Admin>Plugins>OAuth2Basic, then fill in the necessary information in OAuth2Basic.
Add features, customize appearance, or enhance functionalities with Plugin and make Answer in the way you want. Don’t forget to share with us your work.
Navigation Bar: New Home. Better View.
All the tabs you need are now on the left side of the window, providing an intuitive and easy-to-read experience.
For admins, switching between visitor and admin mode is faster, which helps admin to view instant changes or updates.
Customize the sidebar based on your needs. Add new tabs linked to related sources or pages for users. Here’s where Admin do the magic: Customize>CSS/HTML.
Invite an Answer: Expertise Meets the Right Answer
Unlock collective wisdom and collaboration for your Answer. Invite someone you know who possess the expertise or insights of the question to share with the community.
Before officially sending an invitation to an expert, you’ll have to earn reputation scores first. In Answer, we’ve automated the reputation system to maintain community ecology. Reputation reflects your contribution to the community. By earning more reputation score, you’ll unlock more features in Answer.
For admins, you can always choose the right reputation level for your community at Admin>Settings>Privileges.
This not only enhances problem-solving effectiveness, but also a way of getting your community members connected.
