Hi
I am excited by the new Q&A plugin.
Is this available in a widget for easy install into plugins?
Can the repution system be integrated into Cubepoints instead of the standalone rep system?
Cheers
Johnny

If by that you mean "Does the plugin come with any widgets?" the answer is "no, not yet".
The Q&A plugin has an API for accessing the reputation score of each user, but it's not integrated with any external system at this time. Another user asked for integration with the Achievements plugin, for example.

ok thanks
So the widget is in the works? for easy 'theme' integration :P
With cubepoints integration I take it I will need to hire a Dev for this ? or is WPMUDEV looking at working with current points systems?
Cheers

Integration with Achievements would be awesome as well.

Widgets are now available with beta 2.
Regarding cubepoints and/or achievements integration, we might do one or both, but it's not top priority.
The highest priority right now is getting it to work reliably on as many installs as possible.

Sounds cool. Is it possible to add a Q&A tab to a group in buddypress?
I would love cubepoints integration! I second this !
Thanks for the widgets support

+1 on Cubepoints integration - seems like the perfect compliment for this plugin to encourage user participation.
In particular I'd love to be able to reward/deduct points for these actions:

++ on Cubepoints integration... to the extent that it would be worth renewing my subscription for.

looks like there is solid interest in this - i also proposed a beginning step by requesting that the plugin provide do_action's for basic operations:

any chance we can bump this up on the feature request list?

++1 for cubepoints integration. I'm still wondering why their sales pitch is" just like StackOverflow, Yahoo Answers, Quora and more...except better "
.......

Any update on integration with Cubepoints? I see here - http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/feature-suggestion-add-some-hooks - that some hooks have been added but looks like for customisation of text only.
It would be fantastic if I could adjust the Q & A scoring system and integrate it directly into Cubepoints so that the cubepoints reputation goes up.

The actions I'd like to see hooks for are everything to do with points modification:
I think this covers it all:
define( 'QA_ANSWER_ACCEPTED', 15 ); //userid of answerer
define( 'QA_ANSWER_ACCEPTING', 2 ); //userid of question asker I think?
define( 'QA_ANSWER_UP_VOTE', 10 ); // userid of answerer
define( 'QA_QUESTION_UP_VOTE', 5 ); // userid of question asker
define( 'QA_DOWN_VOTE', -2 ); // not sure - could be question asker or answerer? I think this is question asker
define( 'QA_DOWN_VOTE_PENALTY', -1 ); // not sure - could be question asker or answerer? I think this is answerer
Those are the configurable points as per Q & A installation docs - I would like hooks at each of those events/actions so that I can modify the Cubepoints reputation score and also award achievements - e.g. the first time someone asks a question and has it answered they'll get a medal.
The userid will have to be available too.
Of course, it would be better if you actually wrote a Cubepoints/QA/Achievements Connect plugin!
But if you can't, I can have a bash, just remember I'm new to wordpress so I may screw it up.

@dhilditch I would gladly test/troubleshoot this if you took a crack at it
