The only thing I can think of now is maybe you have installed another hack that is calling something from the FAQ hack that is making it not work? I have done that before with other hacks, such as Biras, unless you look at it and make changes one by one, you can not install both the Away Hack & the Random Password hack.

IT doesn't work for me :(

http://forum.ngx.sm/misc.php?s=&action=faq&page=3#HTML

No matter what I do, i always get the same window with all the questions, I can't see the answers, etc...

My misc.php code is:

AS you can I applied bira's hack, but still doesnt work... can someone help please? :(

Ok, the only other real hack installed is the Welcome panel hack, nothing else very big really. I'm sure the hacks don't overlap. :( Only possibility is vbportal, perhaps? I wish the 'internal server error' was a little more explicative...

Any word on this working? Is everyone still having trouble?

the hack worked fine with me

Where do I change the "categoryfontcolor" that the script generates for colors of the links? I know I can change the colors in CP, but I need to change it in the code.. any ideas?

Or, even better, where do I remove the link after the question on FAQ page? (As it is on this board).

Not here, my boards are cursed. Perhabs vbportal is screwing with this somehow, I dunno. So far this is the only hack/mod I've failed at getting going. :D

I'm running 2.2.2 and it doesn't seem to be working for me either.

Can't someone rewrite the instruction for the hack and release it in a new thread?

threr are so many instructons for this hack wich is very confusing

This doen't work properly for me. I can add a category, which shows up fine, and while I can submit a new FAQ perfectly well, the problem is that the question never appears on the list of FAQ's anywhere. No error messages or anything - it just doesn't show on the list :(

It seems to only allow you to add the questions from under the "Edit FAQS" link in admincp. Everything else, like everyone says, seems to comply but no show.

Gotcha... thanks for that ;)

My pleasure, now if someone could just fix that :D

Can any kind soul help me the order function does not work in the Admin CP I get this error message.

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/sites/site253/web/bboard/admin/faq.php on line 347

Everything else is working fine :D

Well After a little messing with the code (wish i know what i was doing :P)

here is the modified code for v2.2.2

Open Admin/index.php

Find:
// ***
makenavoption("Add","bbcode.php?action=add","|");
makenavoption("Modify","bbcode.php?action=modify") ;
makenavselect("Custom vB Codes","<hr>");

Add Directly Under that:

//**************************************************
makenavoption("Add Question","faq.php?action=addquestion");
makenavoption("Add Group","faq.php?action=addfaq");
makenavoption("Add Edit","faq.php?action=modify");
makenavselect("FAQ Database","<hr>");

Save And Upload.

Hope The Orig Authour didnt mind me adding this info,

works great for me on 222

small fix though. html wasn't working

then I also noticed that the replacement vars weren't working so images were dead. It's because of the bbcodeparse. since I will be using html instead of vbcode or smiles, I just commented out the bbcode pars line in misc.php

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

add // in front of the line

this will fix html and replacement vars but you'll lose vbcode and smilies. oh well

I'm still not able to get vars like $bbtitle to work though. odd

Running fine on 2.2.4 here is my faq code from the misc.php:

i also set dohtml to 1
my html smilies AND vbcode are working

the only thing that doesn't work is variables

I am using vb 2.2.4

Here is my FAQ section.

I had done the changes and now can display HTML as well as vb codes. But variables as pointed out by many others, is not working.

I installed FAQ on 2.2.4 and I just upgraded to v2.2.5 and it works but none of the hacks I added work. I just tried to add a FAQ but it didn't work. It accepts it but it never shows up.

Is anyone else having this problem after an upgrade?

I uninstalled and reistalled it again and all is working fine.

Would it be possible in the future for this hack to be made into a vbhacker file?

Changing the question order does not seem to work. Whenever I change the numbers, and press update order, the page freshes, but nothing happens. Anyone have a fix for this?

ok, this sucks, HTML works and vB code works, and I think smilyles works (don't know, never tryed yet) but non of the images shows up, looking at the path of the image, I notice it is going to { imagesfolder } instead of changeing it to the image folder path....how can I fix this??

anyone??

^bumb^

hey m8

would love to install this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT! saw alot of problems above....have they all been a added to the code already as updates? or fixes, whateva :)

will it work in 2.2.5? (perhaps time for a new updated version, if you got LotZ of free time :), or if u just want too :D

I think this should be re-released..

The code I search for in misc.php in version 2.2.5 doesn't exist. Anyone able to help?

I found the code, I just can't find a way to get my replacements code back :(

So this hack no longer works on later versions?

*Bump*

Works like a charm on 2.2.5 ;)

Oh dear, wonder what I'm doing wrong then. I'll have to take another look later this morning. :)

Maybe I can help GF - what's the problem?

I couldn't find the code I was looking for in misc.php, I didn't spend that long on it, admittedly, as I didn't have much time. Did you run into any problems?

If you open it using Wordpad search for FAQ - now replace the code that is between

// ############################### start faq ###############################

and

// ############################### Popup Smilies for vbCode ################

The only problem i had was with the parsing of HTML - but that's fixed now

OK, maybe this is just me but the code in admin/index.php isn't there either, so for anyone else - this is what I did.

Find...
Below that, add...
...and that should have your CP sorted. :) Seems to be running fine on 2.2.5, thanks for the tip geniuscrew and thanks for the hack tubedogg. :D

how did you fix that?? I don't know how to fix it :(

Firstly do EXACTLY what it tells you in the instructions - don't run any queries mentioned in this thread or change bbparsecode2 to bbparsecode

simple replace this

Code:

---

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

---

with

Code:

---

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

---

(in misc.php)




That's what fixed mine :)

Hope that helped!

@ GamerForums - you're welcome ;) Glad i could help

Exactly - I got errors when I used the code given in the instructions
