This simple module provides a Yahoo! style Question and Answer application for Drupal 6. It requires the following additional contrib modules to work:
- Views
- Views Attach
- Views Slideshow
- CCK
- Nodereference URL
- Vote Up/Down
- VotingAPI
Once installed, set permissions according to who should be able to create Question and Answer nodes (usually authenticated users only and no editing/deleting permissions for anyone except admin). Also set permissions for who can record votes against the Answer nodes using Vote Up/Down. Then you're all set!
Create a Question, there should be an "Answer" link under the question, create a few answers and they should appear in a list underneath the Question, vote on them and watch them move up and down the list.
Go to /questions to see the default Question pages, Recent and Popular questions. If you make a question "sticky at top of lists", there is also a block provided by the Question pages view which shows "featured" Questions (will only show Questions with an Answer though).

I tried to test the answers module. I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's intended to work as it is right now. But when I create a question it doesn't not work for groups, the question is viewed by the entire site and not just by the group
For those who can get it working use an older version of vote up/down then use the upgrade path. ATM this feature will not recognize the current version of Vote Up/down on install but seems to run ok if you install using older version then upgrade it.
I'm glad you share this useful content with us. Thank you!
