PHP StackOverflow Clone

1. ed0t 12.10.09 / 4am

   Great application!
   I was looking for something like this!
   I read the license, but i want to ask you, it is possible to modify it to add some features?
2. Anant Garg 12.10.09 / 9am

   Yes, you can as long as you contribute those changes back to the product. (Very similar to the SMF license)
3. Markus Paul 12.10.09 / 3pm

   Nice work, but you should update the DB Layout - above all indexes on foreign keys and may InnoDB if its possible.
4. robert 12.10.09 / 3pm

   Can I upvote this post
5. koen 12.10.09 / 4pm

   PHP 4+ ?
6. Anant Garg 12.10.09 / 5pm

   InnoDB won’t work for FULLTEXTSEARCH.
7. Markus Paul 12.10.09 / 6pm

   May you need FULLTEXT for your single search table - so you can use InnoDB for all the rest. Just an idea
8. Jérôme 12.15.09 / 8pm

   Did you plan to maintain this application ?
   do you use CSV for development ?
   I want to internationalize it (my langage : French) using gettext are you interested ?
9. John 12.16.09 / 6am

   What’s the chance of setting this project up on GitHub so we can make changes/merges and fix it up a bit.

   There’s a few bugs I can see from the outset:
   * Stripslashes
   * Duplicate emails allowed (odd when it’s the login)

    I have now moved Qwench to GitHub:

    http://github.com/anantgarg/Qwench
11. Jérôme 12.16.09 / 6pm

    I just uploaded a localize version of Qwench on github (i don’t kno how to make a branch in you github ?)

    This where you can find my sources
    http://github.com/jerome42/Qwench

    I localize the application in french and english
    i add localize.php and the directory locale
    i also simplify the timeago.php
12. Michele 12.18.09 / 10pm

    Is it multi languages?
13. berzniz 12.19.09 / 4pm

    Great work! I was waiting for someone to try and make a StackOverflow clone.

    The localization works good except for some strings that are not in _(string) format, so they can not be translated.

    I also have a problem when posting comments. If it’s not in English, they show up with a wrong encoding.
14. Francisco Espinoza 12.20.09 / 6pm

    Excellent clone. Currently CNProg use for a site of questions and answers I have. But the same is based on Django and Django Sucks. I like how you have implemented many functions, and I think I can make a another function that needs your CMS.

    1. Notifications by email of new answers for each question.
    2. RSS Feed. For all new questions and new comments for each question.
    3. Profiles. Need to accumulate Karma, that’s what I like about StackOverflow. Czech these profiles: http://hasked.com/usuarios/8/samus/
    4. Distinctions. This accompanied the Karma of course.
    5. Tags & Categories.

    I am very impressed with your work. I would probably contact you by email, to see if discussing a job. Contact me when you have spare time.
15. Eddie 12.22.09 / 10am

    Was wondering if you are going to add more options to the profile like capability to change avatars?
16. Eddie 12.22.09 / 11am

    It looks to me like the points calculation is off.
    After the first activity, I see 2 points in the activities table but only 1 in the users table. when accepting an answer, I see 15 in the activities table and now there are 18 in the users table.

    Can you explain that?
17. Jérôme 12.23.09 / 6pm

    I just correct and add some localization problem on http://github.com/jerome42/Qwench
18. adwin 12.27.09 / 8pm

    wow … that’s great … i am looking for this for my friend …
19. davitz38 1.5.10 / 3am

    Great script, is there any updates? is there any active forum or google group or …
20. Bobby Samai 1.6.10 / 3am

    Please visit and join the qwench community forum and help the further development of this great software. Join http://www.qwench.net and start posting topics, feature requests, tips and tricks etc…
21. Tim 1.18.10 / 9am

    You seem to have put alot of hard work into the development of quench… good stuff… the layout could use some work but this is manageable. Thanks heaps!

23. gafeman 2.10.10 / 3pm

    thanks a lot to share this, great work!

    but i found a bug, when you want to vote one answer something crashes..

    controllers/questions.php - line 477

    replace:
    var basePath = “/qwench/index.php”;

    to:
    var basePath = “$basePathNS”;

    thanks again, regards from spain!
24. John 3.28.10 / 3am

    Amazing work! Not sure how long you took in coding this but its really clean…

    I am a little confused about the license. Does it mean that if I modify this for my site (of course retaining all the Qwench copyrights), do I have to contribute back the entire source code?
25. XO 4.8.10 / 12pm

    Very nice, clean and a solid alternative to forum applications out there. This definitely merits being a StackOverflow clone. I’ve checked out several clones and feel that this one has great potential. Heck, it may be production ready, I have not messed around with it other than checking out the demo. I will be check back from time to time.
26. Koen 5.18.10 / 7pm

    What a beautifull (free?!) script! i like it. But when i install it i got 2 errors:

    Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/******/domains/******/public_html/qwench/controllers/questions.php on line 931

    Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/******/domains/******/public_html/qwench/controllers/questions.php on line 907

    Could you please help me?

28. Dave 9.12.10 / 8pm

    I’m getting the same error on line 907 and 931. Is this project still active? And of so, how do I fix this? Perhaps a folder needs a different permission set for it
29. Amit 9.25.10 / 2pm

    I really found your script very useful. People must participate its development. I am non-php developer. Once i start to work on it. I’ll surely contribute.
    Tell me if there is any other version suggested by jerome42.
    Please mention all reported bug which are rest to resolve. It’ll help other developers to work on it.
30. Amit 9.25.10 / 2pm

    I faced err on 907 & 931 line when i directly run index.php instead of install.php
    You are supposed to run instal.php once
31. Columbus Injury Lawyer 12.30.10 / 1pm

    I’m still trying to learn PHP. I find online blogs such as yours to be very helpful. Thanks for the post.
32. Emiliano 5.18.11 / 11pm

    I have a problem only in the index.php file (Notice: Undefined index: PATH_INFO in C:\Archivos de programa\EasyPHP-5.3.3.1\www\mysite\index.php on line 15)

    And the line 15 is: $path = explode(”/”, substr($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'],1));
