After using this hack on our forums I'm really quite impressed. Here is our implementation for anyone that is interested (mind you, it's still a vast work in progress, we have so much technical information on our forums I'm just scratching the surface).

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/advfaq.php

Anywho, I'd like to have a way to order the categories and the FAQs themselves. It would also be really cool to show as a table with multiple columns instead of just one with a single column and a bunch of rows. I'm sure this would be fairly easy, I just don't know code well enough to go that far with it.

I've also run into an issue when I try and edit one of the very large FAQs. It tells me that the page cannot be displayed. This faq is incredibly long. As a work-around, I just did everything in word pad and saved it. When I would upload it and see an error, I would go make the change in word-pad then I would delete the FAQ then just create it again. While it did work, it's not a real nice way to have to edit a long FAQ. This is the FAQ to be exact: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/advf...ew&advfaqid=34

Also, it seems to me that if I were to click on one of the category titles, I should be taken to another page that is just about items within that category. Right now, it just takes me to edit the category title. If I'm not logged in as an admin, the category titles are not clickable at all, so I guess this is f.a.d. (functioning as designed), but it would be something to consider for a future release.

All in all - an extremely useful mod for our site! Keep up the good work!

btw -as an aside - you might consider updating the mod to reflect the fact that it works with 3.6.7PL1.

Thank you Jan.

During the summer I don't really like to code but when I get the urge I will try to implement category and FAQ reordering. Making a table is difficult for me so trying to make a table with two columns will be more difficult. If someone wants to create a two column table I will add your name to the copyright.

I don't know what I can do about the long FAQ entries. I think I can load it into memory but I don't know how to do that.

I wanted to have drop down menus for the category titles where you can select "Show only this category", "Edit", and "Delete" but it would ruin the design and mess the table up.

This mod has so much potential, but time just needs to be taken to sort out some issues and add some features to make it easier. Any chance of this happening?

agreed!

Any word on this working for 3.7?

btw - it doesn't hold formatting in firefix...only IE7
