Questions & Answers integration?

Hello!
We have hundreds items in FlexiContent.
We need to integrate Questions & Answers for each item.
For example, we have item "BMW X5".
On this page we have button "Ask question about BMW X5".
Also, if we already have question for item "BMW X5" we should display list of recent questions on item page.

The question is: "How to make this?"...

First method is to use 3rd party component, for example EasyDiscuss.
Then we creating category "BMW X5" in EasyDiscuss.
Next step - adding link to this category from FlexiContent item using URL field.
And finally, we creating EasyDiscuss module with latest questions and we paste this module on FlexiContent item page.

But in case we have several hundreds FC items, we should create several hundreds modules and manually create several hundreds links.
This is unreal.

Is there method to make Questions & Answers integration more automated?
May be we can do it using only FlexiContent abilities without using 3rd party components?

I will be grateful for any ideas.
Thanks.

Hello

you can test extensions that are designed for Joomla articles (com_content component)

- then suggest 1 (or better suggest 2)of them here

- then the above, with little work on our side should be able to work with FLEXIcontent
we will make any needed updates

Hello

then the other option for us
- is to create a new FLEXIcontent field
that will display a form to add questions

and then in item form the administrator will add the answers

adding such field seems to me not to be too much work
but if we can use a 3rd party extension without issues then better do this

The idea is that users can also answer questions.

I checked ALL Joomla Questions & Answers components - and there no any component with this feature.
Only one developers said, that this is perfect idea and they will implement it, but unknown when...

Hello

i see

then a new field will be good

we already have most needed code
so we create a new field "Question and answeres"

- in item view we will have a small submit form to submit a question, with similar limitations to voting to avoid abuse
the form will add values to the values table, or maybe better to a new table
- in item form the administrator writes the answeres by editing the field

Hello!

I still looking for 3rd party component.
There is several reasons:

1. Frontend users should have ability to answer on questions.
2. It can be many questions and many answers. So we should display only latest using module on item page, but we should have ability to see all questions on specific page.

Hello

that was my original suggestion

and we can make some little changes to provide intergation with it

Hello!
It will be awesome, if we don't need to use 3rd party extensions.
If it possible - I'll be happy

This is how I see it should working:

monopics.s3.amazonaws.com/2017-11-04_20-56-40.jpg

We need additional page for list of Questions.

May it should have Url like this:
site.com/category/item-alias/questions
site.com/category/item-alias/questions/01-how-to-make-something

Also, frontend users should have ability to add answers.

What do you think?

What do you think?

So which is the component to integrate ?

I though, it will be your own FC feature.
Additional field.

What I found else:

Easydiscuss - it have own plugin for integration with com_content, com_easyblog, com_flexicontent.

easydiscuss.stackideas.com/articles

This plugin adds a button "Veiw Discussion" or "Begin Discussion".

screen.stackideas.com/Final_post_-_Opera...7-11-03_19.14.51.png

When user press on this button, Easydiscuss creates new topic to discuss article.
But it should create category, otherwise all questions will be placed in one topic.
It is not comfortable.
Each question should be on a separate page.
It does not suit us.
In addition, Easydiscuss - paid extension.

Also, we have free Kunena forum.
It also has a similar plugin - Content - Kunena Discuss:

It creates new topic in preconfigured category.

But we need to create Kunena category.
So users can ask questions in it.
FC item = Kunena category.

May be it will be easier to make same plugin, based on Content - Kunena Discuss?
Or may be it will be more correctly to create own FC Questions & Answers System?

Not sure how it will be right.
