Description

Average Askbot user has little knowledge on operating systems and software version (especilly LibreOffice version). Perhaps users also just forget to mention. We have many Askbot post with issues where no OS and version is informed, so volunteers must ask for these 2 infos before attempting to aswer.

This enhancement, if implemented, will force user to indicate OS and version before submitting the question.

Note that users can't post without indicating the LO module (calc, writer, impress... ) in the tag list.

Is that something we could do by showing a customized message?
Right now, we have no budget for further custom development on AskBot actually

Olivier, is that an option? Do you if AskBot provides for that?

"Do you know if AskBot provides for that?", of course :)

I have pretty much traversed the Askbot management screens (as moderator), and I have not seen it. If it exits, and is somehow in a obscure place in the moderator UI, I'm sure Evgeny will tell us how to do.

One suggestion: Pick info from the browser request when submitting the original (new) question, and append it to the bottom of the text (*). I bet it will match 99% of the situations.

(*) All GPRD info compliant :-)

Err... my suggestion is not as good as I thought: the browser header will not tell the LibreOffice version. Please forget it.

  • Priority changed from Normal to Low

We likely have no budget for that at the momet, so unless we find a volunteer Python developer to work on this and contribute upstream, putting this to later

Situation unchanged, releasing that topic in the wild - nothing to do for infra right now
