Wordpress Plugin Ask A Question Update
Ask A Question is a Wordpress plugin that allows you to quickly take feedback on your site through an AJAX form. You can see it in action over at Juped.
It's been a while since last updated and needed to be cleaned off for the newest versions of Wordpress.
I had a few hours to work on it and got version 0.2 done. Not many features, but lots of internal stuff is cleaned up. Dropped Scriptalicious in favor of the JQuery bundled with Wordpress. Use new Wordpress internals where applicable. Fix a few bugs that crept out in the last version.
If you'd like to try it out, head over to: http://github.com/bradjasper/wp-ask-a-question.
Please let me know if you have any issues along with any big features you think are missing.

Got to see your plugin..was long looking for one such thing. It would have been even more great if the asked question is displayed on screen
I downloaded and activated the plug-in on Wordpress, but I'm not sure how to get it on the the blog (I'm new to blog creation). I looked in Widgets but didn't see anything. Do I need to paste code into a Text Widget?
Also, does the plug-in send an email of the questioned asked? Do you know if it's possible to publish the Q&A in a Page?
Thanks
PA: Do you mean to the user after they ask it?
Joe: Currently you need to call the PHP function bjaq_form() somewhere inside Wordpress. I'll be working on widget and e-mail features in the future.
I hadn't considered a Q&A page, but might be something I look into.
How do you get it to submit the question to someones email or is there an admin page that I can't seem to find?
Hi,
I have try to install it but its shows "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error." , Can you advice me what to do now?
Hi Brad,
Is there any way to submit the asked question to an email address? I'm trying to figure out if I should use your plugin or fix up a form using Contact Form 7.
All best! Mark
Thanks for the plugin! For this to be used in a more practical fashion, I would like to see the following. I may see what I can do about adding these features on my own, but if you have time, this would be great...
1) Currently you just get a list of the questions in the plugin admin panel. To better act on the questions: a) Notification to Blog owner, either as questions are posted, or as a daily "digest" via email b) capture email address of poster so the blog owner may have the ability to reply directly
2) More direct control over styling through a set of classes. You could have them assigned, and a user could have the option of adding those classes to their style sheet or not.
Again, thanks -- and cheers!
