DW Question Answer sidebar

1. Let me check this out with our tech team on the next monday
2. The look and feel of your Q&A plugin depends alot on the template you are using. You can achive that easily with a few CSS tweaks

Yes, I would think so. I was thinking that part might of been from the css of Q and A… Thanks again. 

Hi Dom, 
1. You can replace default sidebar in single question page by a custom sidebar. Please go to your theme folder, make a folder then named it as “dwqa-templates“, in this folder make a file “sidebar-single.php“.

DWQA Sidebar Template

You can use yourcode in this file or user default sidebar of twenty twevle (default theme of wordpress ):

 <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>
 <div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
 <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>
 </div><!-- #secondary -->
 <?php endif; ?>

In another way, if you want to add sidebar in the both of questions list page and single page, you can use “dwqa_after_page” action hook, like this :

 function dwqa_simplex_sidebar(){
    get_sidebar();
}
add_action( 'dwqa_after_page', 'dwqa_simplex_sidebar' );

But in this way, you need more CSS custom to make your theme and your question page look good.

2. About ask question button style, it depends on your theme style, if you want to use our button. Here is our custom css for it:

 .dw-question .questions-wrap .btn {
     display: inline-block;
     padding: 6px 20px;
     margin-bottom: 0;
     font-size: 14px;
     font-weight: bold;
     line-height: 20px;
     text-align: center;
     vertical-align: middle;
     cursor: pointer;
     color: #333;
     text-shadow: none;
     background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left 0,left 100%,from(#fff),to(#e6e6e6));
 background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#fff,0%,#e6e6e6,100%);
     background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#fff 0,#e6e6e6 100%);
     background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,#fff 0,#e6e6e6 100%);
     background-color: #f5f5f5;
     background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#fff,#e6e6e6);
     background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,0 0,0 100%,from(#fff),to(#e6e6e6));
     background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#fff,#e6e6e6);
     background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top,#fff,#e6e6e6);
     background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,#fff,#e6e6e6);
     background-repeat: repeat-x;
     filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ffffffff',endColorstr='#ffe6e6e6',GradientType=0);
     border-color: #e6e6e6 #e6e6e6 #bfbfbf;
     border-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) rgba(0,0,0,0.1) rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
     filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(enabled = false);
     border: 1px solid #ccc;
     border-bottom-color: #b3b3b3;
     border-radius: 3px;
}

 .dw-question .questions-wrap .btn .btn-success {
     color: #fff;
     text-shadow: 'none';
     background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left 0,left 100%,from(#8dc03c),to(#7fad36));
     background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#8dc03c,0%,#7fad36,100%);
     background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#8dc03c 0,#7fad36 100%);
     background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,#8dc03c 0,#7fad36 100%);
     background-color: #87b83a;
     background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#8dc03c,#7fad36);
     background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,0 0,0 100%,from(#8dc03c),to(#7fad36));
     background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#8dc03c,#7fad36);
     background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top,#8dc03c,#7fad36);
     background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,#8dc03c,#7fad36);
     background-repeat: repeat-x;
     filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ff8dc03c',endColorstr='#ff7fad36',GradientType=0);
     border-color: #7fad36 #7fad36 #547224;
     border-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) rgba(0,0,0,0.1) rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
     filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(enabled = false);
}

 .btn-success:hover, .btn-success:focus {
     color: #fff;
     background-color: #7fad36;
     background-position: 0 -15px;
     -moz-transition: background-position .1s linear;
     -o-transition: background-position .1s linear;
     -webkit-transition: background-position .1s linear;
     transition: background-position .1s linear;
}

Feel free to apply it to your site 🙂
Hope this helps!
 

Yups.. it depends on template. It had been my case, till I changed the template, and now the button turns to a nice green one.. Thanks to Mr. Mimin (admin) for creating such a beautiful plugin..

What I did that worked out great for me. 
I created
1. You can replace default sidebar in single question page by a custom sidebar. Please go to your theme folder, make a folder then named it as “dwqa-templates“, in this folder make a file “sidebar-single.php“.
Then copied the contents from my theme sidebar.php to qwqa-templates/sidebar-single.php so now I have the same side bar with q&a as the rest of the side. 
And just added your css in this post to my existing css of my theme and all is well. Thank you.. 

However, what would be nice is a widget to show recent questions and answers so we could place that throughout our site. But I’ll put that on my Christmas list.. 

Hey guys, 
The version 1.1.1 of the plugin is now available for download.
In this version we have included captcha and brought back the sidebar.
Check out at our blog post: http://cmspioneer.com/designwall/blog/dw-question-answer-wordpress-plugin-version-1-1-1-spam-free-and-the-return-of-sidebar/
