Re: stackoverflow clone in xoops

thanks Trabis! the ogr3.com seems really promising!

however, what i'm looking for is a way to reshape the forum on my website to make it easier to use.

nowadays, it seems there's a trend that the stackoverflow-style question/answer systems gradually replace the functionality of forum. So i think maybe it's a good idea to implement stackoverflow style and functions in xoops.

after searching google for a while, i've found several examples of implementing stackoverflow in drupal:

http://engineeredweb.com/blog/09/11/building-stack-overflow-clone-drupal-part-1

and some guy even started an open stackoverflow project:

http://ra-ajax.org/first-release-of-stacked-an-open-source-version-of-stackoverflow-com
http://code.google.com/p/stacked/

some more related information:

more thoughts? :)

I don't know about any hack but you can use a service like ogr3.com

This is how it works:
1 - create a link in your cbb post template to ogr3.com/yourtaghere, you can use your site name has the tag, tag only allows 33 characteres and a-z A-Z 1-9 and _
2 - Give a descriptive name to that link like: VOTE UP
3 - When someone clicks on the voteup link it will insert a record of that entry on ogr3.com/yourtaghere
4 - Ogr3 will display the top pages on the last 3 minutes, 3 hours and 3 days.
5 - Ogr3 has rss feed for each tag, you can use an rss reader module to grab the top threads of your tag and display it on a block, this way users do not have to visit ogr3 to see the top threads.
6 - Be aware that other sites may share the same tag, and results for other sites are counted. Choose a unique tag and you should be fine.

Look at this example http://ogr3.com/xoops

Once you click this link you should see this very page in the top list along with other xoops related news

stackoverflow clone in xoops
by lunchboxwu on 2011/2/15 17:13:05

is there anyway to implement stackoverflow-like style or functions in xoops?

I was wondering if there's a way to hack CBB or other modules to mimic the stackoverflow-like functions: people could vote for each answer/thread & most voted answer (thread) would rise to the top.. etc.
