    Thank you David. We are going to add support for the mysqli extension in the next update.

    Hi Leyun,

    That's what I was looking for! Thank you.

    Do you plan to extend functionality?

    It'll be great if you add some base q2a features:

    - search elements by keyword
    - delete (not hide) elements
    - moodle avatars in users rating
    - categories!
    - number of questions views
    - tags managment

    Big thanks again for that project!

    This is a exactly what I'm looking for to use in our community forums.
    Any chance to get a version for Moodle 3.2 that work with MySQLi?
    You would make a lot of people happy if there was such a version soon smile

    Hi

    Any estimate on when we can expect the update that supports PostgreSQL?

    Hi Ricardo:
    as Question2Answer only supports MySQL so far, and I can't find any information about when they will make it compatible with PostgreSQL, I don’t think we will have an update for PostgreSQL in the near future. Sorry for that.

    Hi Leyun,
    I work for the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have modified the pre-3.2 version of this plugin so that it:
    1. Records user points separately per module instance.
    2. Settings available: user points values, anonymizing user names, showing/hiding user scores, disabling/enabling voting or just downvotes on questions or answers.
    3. Uses mysqli.
    4. Exports user points and whether they participated as a CSV file so that instructors can manually grade the activity.

    As you can expect, the modifications are pretty extensive. If you would like a copy of this, I can make it available to you.

    Diane
