Best way to modify unanswered question sorting?

Question

I am disabling users from accepting answers, so naturally I want the unanswered questions tab to return all questions with 0 answers only. What's the best way (and how) to do this?

Path 1: Have all answers saved with accepted_answer == True

Path 2: Change how unanswered retrieves values from the database

I've been looking through the code for a while now but can't find out where to modify these things (I tried modifying the question and answer models themselves). Whoever does answer this, if you could tell me what files need modification it would be a great help.

Accepted Answer

Figured it out! Around line 95 of readers.py:

change

Question.objects.exclude(id__in=Question.objects.filter(children__Marked=True).distinct())

to

Question.objects.exclude(id__in=Question.objects.filter(children__gte=1).distinct()),

and to modify the tab name, i changed:

(_('hottest'), HottestQuestionsSort(_('most viewed'), _("most <strong>viewed</strong> questions in the last 24 hours"))),

and to have the questions sorted by views i changed:

class HottestQuestionsSort(pagination.SortBase):
    def apply(self, questions):
        q = questions.order_by('extra_count').reverse()
        return q

Probably need to modify the view, not the model. Why not just remove the tab for unanswered from the template?

right, so Path 2 would be modifying the view. I'm just looking for someone who might understand how. The lines involved are confusing and widely spread out.
