Revision history [back]
If you want to be able to upgrade Askbot and still have your customizations, I would try using the custom extra context generators. They are not documented yet, but several view functions including the questions
load extra template context, take a look at the source.
In that case I would probably create an additional table related to askbot_thread
where I would store extra data. You could also patch the askbot's tables - but then you might need to fork askbot repo, but lose possibility of easier upgrades.
