It's working well, as far as
It's working well, as far as asking Questions and tying Answers to them, but I need to modify the way it displays and the fields it requires, and I'm running into a dead end.
No problems with the Questions part.
Currently, the Answers portion looks kind of like:
(required text type single-line field displays here)
Answer:
(optional textarea Answer field displays here)
Question:
This is the question to be answered
I need to:
1) Make the "Subject" field not required, then
2) Remove "Subject" field from the display (I only want the "Answer" field)
3) Relocate the Question to above the Answer form, instead of below it, so we get:
This is the question to be answered
Answer:*
(required textarea Answer field displays here)
In admin/content/node-type/answer I can cause the BODY (the actual Answer) to be hidden, but it seems like the Subject is non-negotiable. I need Answers to be able to support HTML formatting, otherwise I would be okay with a single-line, required "Subject" field.
I cannot find any clues to modifying the position of the Question display in any of the Answers module files or in the database.
I have no trouble at all working within the files and database entries, I just can't find what I need.
I really like the module and offer you my sincere thanks for developing it.
What happens when you disable Simple Answers Only
I have used your answers module and it works great. The only think which i am currently bothered is every time someone need to add an answer they need to click "Add an answer" link which most of users seem to be confused with. I see a lot of comments on forums and other post types which does not required a second level of action. The users basically need to see the comments/answers box right a way.
Now i have been using simpleanswers before so if i disable it now, will that delete all the answers and simpleanswers data created in drupal. I am afraid of this change will effect my work.
Can you please confirm what would change if i disable the simpleanswers option and not the question option. I would like to keep the question as it is. My idea is to keep question type and let comment as as answer field.
