Add Glossary To Faq

A simple modification that adds a glossary to the FAQ.

A must have feature if you use words on your site that people may not understand.

It's actually just a template modification but I have provided the queries to create Glossary sections, etc--so, I am not sure if it's ok to place this here.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Modify database
Modify templates

TIP:

I recommend renaming the FAQ to HELP CENTER.
Click the INSTALL button (to your right) if you want to be informed of updates.

Looks good, something I could put to good use. Clicks install.

To add timestamp to faq, please visit the ADD DATE/TIME TO EACH FAQ addon

if you have the ADD DATE/TIME TO EACH FAQ addon installed already do the following:
run this query: (add TABLE_PREFIX if you use one)
[sql]ALTER TABLE `faq` DROP `dateline`;[/sql]
thereafter, run the queries found on the ADD DATE/TIME TO EACH FAQ addon

Again another hack I needed. Thanks for coding something for the 3.0.x users.

This is going to hurt CINQ cause if I am not mistaken he is the EXACT same hack, except I believe he is selling it :(

Either way, it is a nice hack

if you installed the ADD DATE/TIME TO FAQ addon you will need to remove the dateline field temporarily ... you can then use the query provided in ADD DATE/TIME TO FAQ to add and update the 'dateline' field

no, actually this is just a simple modification...
I believe his 'Glossary' may have more features.

Question: I installed the queries and the templates, but when I go into my faq page I don't see anything different than before, so, what do I need to do?

If installed correctly you should see a section called 'Web Terms' along with the alphabet (view attachment on first post).

Can you provide a URL?

go to http://www.yourdomain.com/faq.php?faq=gtp_glossary and see if it will come up ... if it doesn't than there's nothing in the database

Code:

<a name="faq_$faq[faqname]"></a>



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>

        <td class="tcat"><if condition="$show['faqsublinks']"><a href="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]faq=$faq[faqname]">$faq[title]</a><else />$faq[title]</if></td>

</tr>

<if condition="$show['faqtext']">

<tr>

        <td class="alt1">$faq[text]</td>

</tr>

</if>

<if condition="$show['faqsublinks']">

<tr>

        <td class="alt2"><if condition="$DISABLE"><ul>$faqsublinks</ul></if>

        <if condition="$faq[faqname]==gtp_glossary">

                <p class="cen">$faqsublinks</p>

        <else />

                <ul>$faqsublinks</ul>

        </if></td>

</tr>

</if>

It is free on his site, as is his articles hack. He does not sell any hacks, though he accepts donations. But as Princeton said, this is much different, and I actually have both installed now :D Cinq's is a tooltips kind of thing that appears each time a glossary word is entered in to any post.

JD210,
check the display order ... make sure it is NOT 0

JD210

Display order is not 0

Princeton

without access to the site I'm am just guessing at your setup (3.0.3)

revert the faqbit template and see if it comes up

JD210

07-14-2005 12:55 AM

reverted. Same thing comes up, no difference.

Princeton

07-14-2005 12:59 AM

if you can't find the problem ... contact me via private message and I'll see what I can do

JD210

07-14-2005 01:06 AM

Okay, I will see what I can do, if not you will be getting an IM from me. Thanks.

Edit: Fixed thanks to Princeton. Thanks again.

run this query: (add TABLE_PREFIX if you use one)
[sql]ALTER TABLE `faq` DROP `dateline`;[/sql]
thereafter, run the queries found on the ADD DATE/TIME addon

I just noticed that your layout in your screenshot and mine look different. How do I get the A - Z area centered like yours?
