Pre-fill form fields for Question2Answer

A Question2Answer plugin to pre-fill form fields on the Ask a question page using GET parameters.

Features

Supported fields are:

• title
• content (only when not using a rich/WYSIWYG editor)
• tags

Since the user can input arbitrary values as GET parameters, the values are escaped using PHP's htmlspecialchars() function. You can use multiple tags by separating each tag with a + or %20 in the URL.

Example

The following URL, when entered in the browser address bar:

http://localhost:8000/index.php?qa=ask&title=Hello+world&content=something&tags=one%20two%20three

Will result in:

• Title: Hello world
• Content: something
• Tags: one two three (as 3 separate tags, since Q2A separates tags with spaces)

Installation

• Clone this repository or download a ZIP archive.
• Move the extracted folder to the qa-plugin/ folder of your Question2Answer installation.
• Log in as administrator on your Question2Answer instance, navigate to Admin > Plugins and make sure the Prefill Fields plugin is visible and enabled.
