I am thinking of integrating OSQA into my django project for q&a functionality. Now I already have a signup system in place in my django project and a user base. My question is when a logged-in user clicks on the 'q&a/osqa' link on the main page, will it detect the logged in user of my django project or will it prompt to create another redundant account to use this osqa forum? Please help someone. Thanks. |

@n_zee, that sounds like a simple question, but the answer is not probably as simple. In short, OSQA is a Django app, but it is not really designed or intended to plug and play interactively with other Django apps. Your existing Django users will be present, but OSQA requires additional user information about each of them that will most likely NOT be present. At some point in the future we may focus more on getting OSQA to integrate with other Django apps, but at present it is not really what we're trying to do. We have no opposition to integrating, but we just aren't really aiming for it. @rickross, thanks. Is there any solution? What do you think I can do? I am having a city portal site and there are already several users. I want them to goto this new q&a section and use d service using thr ids. Can they atleast link it with their django project user account. Any tip or suggestion will be of great help. Thanks.

We discussed it on the team this morning, and we are considering whether to make a solution. It would probably be a DZone private module, but if we create it perhaps you would like to be a tester?

@n_zee, DZone doesn't release everything we produce as part of the open source side of OSQA. Some of our OSQA extensions are only available to DZone clients.
