I have a Joomla Q&A component that works fairly well, but I would like to extend it with a custom module that substitutes for the first page of the component, which makes the user choose some specific category, and then forwards to the usual "Ask Question' component, pre-set to the selected category. The Q&A module would then process the question and store it as per usual.
Also, I would like to further extend the component with a custom back-end for specific user class of 'Answerer' users who are qualified to pick up their category of question and supply an answer. This 'back end' module would allow them to answer questions assigned to them, (using the already working Q&A component) but will ensure that they comply with certain standards in formatting their answers ( basically, have them execute a checklist). The "answerers" would score some points depending on the completeness of their answers.
( The Q&A component already has a customizable points subsystem in place, so I would have the Fabrik 'app' interacting with that existing points table...)
So, the Fabrik 'app' would have five or six of its own tables for management of the enhanced answering process, but would be able to pass data as needed to the existing Q&A app and indeed, also to read from and write to the Q&A app's own tables as needed.
From my reading of the docs here so far, it's looking like this should all be do-able, but if any experienced users can spot a 'gotcha' that I should know about before forging ahead, I would appreciate the advice!!
Thanks In Advance
