Kevin you have a serious mistake in your code, which is why no one here manages to parse HTML:

dohtml is $entry[dohtml] in your code. BUT YOU NEVER SELECTED IT :D

Code:

$entries=$DB_site->query("SELECT entryid,title,text FROM faqentries WHERE faqid='$page' ORDER BY showorder");

should be

Code:

$entries=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM faqentries WHERE faqid='$page' ORDER BY showorder");

(in misc.php)

Cheers,

Bira

I changed the following:

In every SELCT-Statement in the FAQ-Section from the misc.php I set a Star instead of the different row-names. (Sample: SELECT * FROM faq $sql ORDER BY showorder).
I use bbcodeparse2.

So the HTML is parsed Good. The Smilies works too. vbCode works all, insted of the [ url ]. This creates a Link like this:
http://usercp.php/?s=

Have anyone a Idea?

And i have another Problem: The Order can't set from the CP. :stupid:

I have the same Problem: The Order can't set from the CP.

I get the Error:

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in
/home/sites/site479/web/forum/admin/faq.php on line 344

Order updated!

HTML, Smilies and vbCode works!

Have anyone a Idea?

THX, wolfgang :)

I did it. And the other SQL-Statement too. I wrote it before...

Or should i turn back the others?

Lionel

01-02-2002 12:45 PM

I made no change except for the one by Bira on post 81 and works fine.

err so hey dose this work with 2.2.1?

dotagious

01-03-2002 09:35 PM

I have the same question about it working for 2.2.1

I also would like to know what this actually does. I tried to follow the link to the original hack as to find out, but it blocks me from that forum.

I have installed this on 2.2.1 and it is working fine along with 13 other hacks.

Arathorn

01-06-2002 11:39 AM

Installed in 2.2.1, and it works fine too. But the instructions in the zip file don't work for 2.2.1? In admin/index.php, instead of following the instructions,

Find:

Quote:

makenavselect("Custom vB Codes","<hr>");
// *************************************************

Add directly below:

Quote:

makenavoption("Add Question","faq.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=addquestion","<br>");
makenavoption("Add Group","faq.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=addfaq","<br>");
makenavoption("Edit","faq.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=modify","<br>");
makenavselect("FAQs","<hr>");
// *************************************************

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Find the following in admin/faq.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo " (Order: <input type=text name=\"order[$faq[faqid]]\" size=3 value=\"$question[showorder]\">) ";

Change it to:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo " (Order: <input type=text name=\"order[$question[entryid]]\" size=3 value=\"$question[showorder]\">) ";

Hope that helps.

@Armage Bedar BIG THX! It's work! :D :D :D

Just now I can Order set from the CP.

Wolfgang

Remi	01-06-2002 09:54 PM

With the old FAQ templates, I was able to use variables like:

$homeurl
$bbtitle
$inboxname
$sentitemsname

with this hack they are not working any more !!

Does any one know how to fix this.

Thanks

Remi	01-08-2002 11:43 PM

Can Some one answer this please

Or at least tell me is it the way the hack works or the variables are not working for me only!!

Thanks

SaintDog

01-10-2002 04:34 AM

I would have to say that is it the way the new hack works, so you can no longer use the variables you used to use with the old hack.

As it seems, there are a few things in the hack that have not yet been fixed, but I am sure they will be fixed as soon as possible.

Again, the reason the variables you probably used do not work anymore is because of the new hack I would think. I did not make the hack so I can not really tell you, but that would be my thoughts on it.

Remi	01-10-2002 12:45 PM

Thank you very much Saint :)

I hope some hacker now can tell us how to use variable in this wounderfull hack

mvigod

01-12-2002 03:39 AM

Does this hack only modify the main vb faq or can you make a custom faq for each forum? I have many forums and in each one I want it's own individual topic specific faq. Does this hack do that or edit only the main vb faq???

thanx

I would like to know if anybody is actually working on searchable version of this FAQ hack, so users can search through categories. Let me know because I would like to start working on it. Thank you.

Remi	01-12-2002 04:41 PM

If you are to do any thing, Please make it work with variables, just like the original FAQ. :)

$homeurl
$bbtitle
$inboxname
$sentitemsname

Thanks

In FAQ.PHP around line 292 in addquestion section there is

PHP Code:


		
			
makehiddencode("faqid", "$faqid");

which prevented you from selecting own category for adding question. You have to remove that line to make it work correctly.

Linus

01-26-2002 02:02 PM

I did the hack and it worked fine for me a couple of weeks ago but now the FAQ when clicked upon is empty ... I might have done another hack that might have affected one of the files ... any opinions / advice ???

Linus

This is my FAQ bit in the original misc.php

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($action=="faq") {

  $templatesused = "faq_title,faq_head,faq_entry";

  include("./global.php");



  if(isset($page)){$sql = "WHERE faqid='$page'";}

  $query = "SELECT faqid,title FROM faq $sql ORDER BY showorder";

  $faqs=$DB_site->query($query);

  while ($faq=$DB_site->fetch_array($faqs)) {

    if (isset($page))

      {$title = " > <a href='misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=faq&page=$faq[faqid]'>$faq[title]</a>";

    }

    $questions=$DB_site->query("SELECT entryid,title,faqid FROM faqentries WHERE faqid='$faq[faqid]' ORDER BY showorder");

    while ($question=$DB_site->fetch_array($questions)) {

      eval ("\$faqtitles .= \"".gettemplate("faq_title")."\";");

    }

    eval ("\$faqhead .= \"".gettemplate("faq_head")."\";");

    unset ($faqtitles);

  }

  if (isset($page)) {

    $entries=$DB_site->query("SELECT entryid,title,text FROM faqentries WHERE faqid='$page' ORDER BY showorder");

    while($entry=$DB_site->fetch_array($entries)){

      $entry[text] = bbcodeparse2($entry[text],$entry[dohtml],$entry[dobbcode],$entry[dosmilies],$entry[dobbcode]);

      eval ("\$faqentries .= \"".gettemplate("faq_entry")."\";");

    }

  }

  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("faq")."\");");

}

I'm running v 2.2.1

but then when asked to find

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($action=="faq") {

$templatesused = ""; // Only one template used so load it when called

include("./global.php");

$page = intval($page);

if (!$page)

$page = '';

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("faq$page")."\");");



}

I can never find it ?

Does this hack work on vb 2.2.2? Just curious as I'm looking to add it. :)

TIA,

FireFly or another person, could you please let me know why I am getting the below error. I have applied the fix provided by Bira as well as the one that another member provided which is supposed to fix the ordering problem, below is the error I get when trying to change the order:

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /path/to/my/forums/admin/faq.php on line 344

I was having parsing problems until making the change from post #81.

Problem I'm having now is that the images are not showing up. Anyone have the code fix for this one?

SaintDog

02-03-2002 04:46 AM

The images were not really working for me, I instead went in and instead of using the { images } variable I just used /path/to/image instead.

I need to find a way to correct that error :(

christina

02-03-2002 02:28 PM

Since no one answered about 2.2.2...

I installed it, and there weren't any updates to the admin control panel. If I try to run faq.php directly I get some complaint about "Fatal error: call to undefined function: cpheader() in....path\faq.php on line 13.

Chrirstina

02-03-2002 07:26 PM

You still would have to run the FAQ Install file to update things Christina, I think anyway (since there may be new queries or such added to the db).

I still have not figured out why I get the above error, Can anyone help out on this, I know I can not be the only one getting this, or am I? (I am using 2.2.1)

christina

02-03-2002 11:46 PM

Well, I did run faq_install first, and it showed no errors. It's just that things don't work after having done that...

slideboxer

02-03-2002 11:55 PM

The faq_install itself doesn't make the changes to the control panel. During execution of the install you will receive instructions on what lines of code to modify in your admin/index.php file. This you have to do yourself. I think the install even had some wrong code for this part... here's what I added:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ***

makenavoption("Add Question","faq.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=addquestion","|");

makenavoption("Add Group","faq.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=addfaq");

makenavoption("Edit FAQs","faq.php?s=<?php echo $session[sessionhash]; ?>&action=modify");

makenavselect("FAQs");

// ***

underneath

PHP Code:


		
			
makenavoption("Add","announcement.php?action=add","|");

makenavoption("Modify","announcement.php?action=modify");

makenavselect("Announcements");

Hope this gets it workiing for you.

02-04-2002 01:58 AM

Ok, don't know how I missed that bit during the install. :/ But, since making the changes, any of the items now in the control panel just give me an "Internal Server Error" and don't provide any more info...

Thanks, btw. :)

the two problems which i found with this code were
1. html not working - apply biras fix on post 81
2. images not working

edit the following faq's :-

under User Maintenance:
What are the buddy and ignore lists?

under : General Board Usage
Can I send email to other members of this board?
What is Private Messaging?

under Reading and Posting Messages :
Can I edit my own posts?

Each of these faq's have to be amended to
Allow HTML in Answer? Yes
Allow smilies in Answer? Yes

Hope this helps
fonz :stoned:

Ok, I've gone through and uninstalled, cleaned up the files I was supposed edit, and reinstalled again. But, I always get an internal server error when trying the items in the control panel... :(

Well let's see, you have:

- Run faq_install.php
- Placed faq.php in your /admin/ directory
- Applied the updates from Bira
- Fixed what Fonz brought up

I am not sure why in the world you are getting an internal server error. It does not make too much sense on why you are getting it unless something other than the above have been modified on accident.

Where is Sinecure when you really! need him ;) - I am sure he could help both of us out.

SaintDog

02-04-2002 02:54 PM

You could use the below in the Admin CP, I am not sure what difference it would make, but you do not have to have the "echo" commands in the URL, it deals with the newer versions of vBulletin:

Code:

makenavoption("Edit","faq.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=modify","<br>");

makenavoption("Add Group","faq.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=addfaq","<br>");

makenavoption("Add Question","faq.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=addquestion","<br>");

makenavselect("F.A.Q. Editor");

Just a suggestion

slideboxer

02-04-2002 02:59 PM

The edit of the faq properties worked for me, thanks Fonz.

fonzerelli_79

02-04-2002 06:04 PM

no problem slideboxer ;)

christina

02-04-2002 06:15 PM

Thanks for the information, again.

It still doesn't work here, I've no idea why. :( I think I'm doing things right. I ended up redoing some things and made a faq.php that just calls my faq templates for me instead since I couldn't get this to work...
