How to add Big Discussion btn and Ask a Question button

Vanillaplus

I need to add Big Discussion btn with Ask a Question button(Example
in the image) instead of drop down button.

Vanilla Version 2.2.1

Try adding this line to your /conf/config.php

$Configuration['Plugins']['QnA']['UseBigButtons'] = TRUE;

You are halfways correct. It is not working as it should do.

The dropdown does not disappear but there is an additional button if you use this config setting. You would have to change the modules order. See here on how to do it: https://vanillaforums.org/discussion/24995/tutorial-how-to-change-the-order-of-modules-and-menu-items. You would have to add "QuestionModule" after "NewDiscussionModule".

After that you would have to style away the visual difference. Start with

.BoxNewDiscussion > .ButtonGroup > .Handle {
    display: none;
}

he hey I did it.

I did The Big Button option part A & Big Button option part B and I commented code line 247 in class.qna.plugin.php

243| public function Base_DiscussionTypes_Handler($Sender, $Args) {
244| $Args['Types']['Question'] = array(
245| 'Singular' => 'Question',
246| 'Plural' => 'Questions',
247| //'AddUrl' => '/post/question',
248| 'AddText' => 'Ask a Question'
249| );
250| }

@R_J Thank you for your help about module orders.

You've "solved" your problem by changing core files. That is always a bad idea.
