Setup Commands

Clone this repository

1. Clone this project using

$ git clone https://github.com/Yawan-1/StackOverFlow--Clone

For Postgresql usage*, you will need to download and install it.

1. Download Postgresql from this Link
2. After installation, create Database in postgresql shell using these commands
   1. CREATE DATABASE so_clone;
   2. CREATE USER so_clone_user WITH PASSWORD 'password';
   3. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE so_clone TO so_clone_user;
3. and fill database name , database password and user in settings.py like

DATABASES = {
  'default': {
      'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
      'NAME': 'so_clone',
      'USER': 'so_clone_user',
      'PASSWORD': 'password',
      'HOST': 'localhost',
      'PORT': '',
  }
}

*Note: If you are setting up this project using sqlite, you have the option to bypass the postgresql installation step. To do so, please consider commenting out the postgresql configuration and uncommenting the sqlite configuration.

Now run make migrations command, running make migrations command will perform Data Migrations to save the "Badges" in the database. then migrate to load the operations of Data Migrations in database.

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

Migration Operations will be automatically created on migration creation to save Tags and Tag Badges.

Then, simply run the server using this command.

$ python manage.py runserver

stackoverflow--clone's Issues

Update for last martor release

Profile_photo dont update

Hi
When you choose a new profile picture, no new path to the picture is written to the database.

it does not update the users

I'm testing it locally and with sqlite and it doesn't let me update the users and it doesn't let me mark the correct answer and vote for the answers

Existing tags are not displayed when adding a new question

I see that there are tags available in the Tags app but then are not shown to the user on the new question page (and new users are not allowed to create new tags due to low reputation).
Great project by the way.

Use Stacks for front-end

This is amazing! You should consider using Stack Overflow's design system Stacks to power the front-end. This way, you can pin to a specific version of Stacks without hotlinking to Stack Overflow's production CSS. That'll guard your project from us breaking your CSS inadvertently.

$ python manage.py makemigrations issue

python manage.py migrate
File "D:\Projects\stackoverflow\StackOverFlow--Clone-master-Yawan-1\tagbadge\models.py", line 3, in
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
ImportError: cannot import name 'ugettext_lazy' from 'django.utils.translation'

StonkOverflow does not support mobile navigation

That's a really cool project, but it is really sad that it is not fully responsive 😔

No way for a user to up/down vote on questions and answers

It seems that there is no way for a user to up/down vote on questions and answers as the rewardPrivielege() cannot be called in any path to update user's comment_everywhere_Priv, voteDownPriv and voteUpPriv for a new user，even though that the user may have enough reputation.

A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator.

please give me steps to solve this

When I try to pip install -r requirements.txt command in local server there shows some errors

A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator.

Hello, I hope you are well
I want to start the project but it gives me this error
What is the problem?

Please provide static UI

Can you please provide static UI

does not vote

does not allow up or down votes.

At first it wouldn't let me select the correct answer due to a design error that forces you to vote for the answer you are selecting as correct.

I altered the code a bit to allow me to select the correct answer and raise reputation and get to select 2 correct answers raising to 30 reputation without voting for the correct answer.

At the time of voting it keeps throwing me the error having the user 30 of reputation.

error that appears in the local server

Search is NOT shown when runs it locally.

Here is the header displayed while I ran this project on my local machine, as you can see that the search bar is missing and the header is NOT well lay out. Could you please help take a look?
