thank you for your help, what got me was the admin index.php I wasn't used to how the admin options used to work long ago... so after some digging and help above I got it... thanks for not spelling it out, makes the learning process more fun :P

It's working great now...

Question though: how would someone go about adding access masks to the faq system? aka make it so you have to be registered before reading a faq catigory. ;)

for a specific faq categlory or all categlories?

after reading this entire thread I have everything working on 2.30 except my image code not showing up ;)

so far everything else seems to be working

seem below for error,
http://www.shukenja.com/forum/misc.p...=faq&page=3#27

aka image not loading,

also in the admin cp, I get the following error with the faq.php

any ideas?

get this very same error..any idea how to fix it?

is there any way to have the instructions re-done for this. I would love to install it, but I fear the instability since it was made 2 years ago and versions ago.

I also need to get a hack for the FAQ, I am running 2.30 and after spending a couple of days getting my board back in order after a bad installation I am leery.

If all I need to do is what Koutaru posted then I will go for. ANyone else running this on 2.3?

I had it working on 2.30, to get it stable you need to read the entire thread before you install then make notes on what is to be installed and what code to use from the thread.

I need to install it again so might try and put a better installer together with updated info for 2.30...

Yeah, I started at the beginning and just now finished reading, getting ready to install. Crossing my fingers...

edited for total stupidity

how did ya make out?

I have it installed and working great! I wish the <p> command didn't cause 2 lines of white space, but I can live with that.

Now if I could only figure out another hack for uploading images I would be done! I have it basically done, but I'm stuck at the moment. Thanks for asking!

Just installed this hack on 2.3.2 . (Fresh install) , and after a bit of modification I have it working. <Yeah !> If anyone wants the details I'll post 'em. 99.9% of the features & such work , including html & admin cp functions.

yeah post them dude! :)

Following was tested on vbulletin 2.3.0 it should work for 2.3.1 and 2.3.2
Please note follow the regular install directions from the original zip. don't follow the changes on the original readme to misc.php
This file was a compilation of bug fixes made by DarkReaper , bira, and fleabag thanks again guys, you just made it very easy for me to it! and of course thanks to tubedogg for the original hack!

What if we already installed the original version? What changes do I have to make from that? I mean it works fairly well to me minus the re-ordering stuff. Does yours fix that?

Yeah this also fixes that..

to update your basicly you would just need to replace everything from the the start faq area. with my updated one..

working example is at http://www.srtforums.com/forums/misc.php

I am working on addon so that certain user groups can access this faq update as well with the lesser admin mod..

:) I will release it but first I will ask all the people that made the original scripts to let me release it

and for a example of working bbcode and smilies :

http://www.srtforums.com/forums/misc...=faq&page=4#28

cool, that is what I thought.

ok I just did that and nothing seemed to have changed :(

I still can't re-order the entries. Are there any changes to faq.php needed for that?

what version are you running and nope I never even touched faq.php

vb 2.3.0

I've always (since 2.2.8) gotten it to recognize HTML, not sure about smilies cuz I dont have any but the only thing that never worked is re-ordering the entries. Everything I change a number and submit the changes it refreshes the page as if I had just gone there for the first time and no changes are made.

most likely is a bad misc.php you have , upload a new one and do the code fix again :)

I just tried that and still nothing. It lets me re-order the groups but not the questions within each group :(

oh I see what it is.. give me a moment and I will see if I can fix it

well when I do the code fix it breaks something else.. so I guess its faq.php which needs a updated callback function for the doorder..
I am not an expert programer :( so I guess some other l33t programmer can base it out of the updated code and fix the bug

Well thanks for trying anyway. At least now I have vbcode and smilies :D

hehe no prob.. btw html works as well hehe

I know someone can update the faq.php to do the doorder.. like I said I am new to the programming of VBB all together.. in reality I look at other people's work and then build from that since this forum software is a tad bit complex since I am so new to programming it hehe

awesome hack, thanks a LOT!

My FAQ would prolly be pretty worthless without it. BTW, it worked right away on m y 2.3.4 board - w/ the original zip and new instructions. :)

I am so embarassed to even post this question, but here goes.

I installed l ast August and need to make a change in my FAQ except I have no idea how or where to do it.

I had added an extra question to my User Maintenance section and I cannot find it anywhere.

I have been through every FAQ template I have and it isn't there.

I also don't remember how to add on.

Getting old is tough.

Thanks for the assist.

I found out what the problem was: I couldn't find what I needed because something wiped out the FAQ info on the left panel of the CP. After I had uninstalled and reinstalled that section was back.

Now to go back to see if the questions can be sorted, at the present time the revert back..
