FAQ Edit v3

I have made some modifications to the hack by Stasik, which is located here.
New features:

• Edit display order from the list of questions/groups
• Got the display code into templates and out of misc.php
• Removed some extra queries
• Added support for vB Code and fixed support for smilies
• Various small cosmetic/coding fixes

The base hack is © 2001 by Stasik.
Portions, including the installer, are © 2001 Kevin Schumacher.
Portions of the installer were created by Bane.
The hack and its' installer may not be redistributed, edited or not, without this copyright notice attached.

For version: 2.0.3

Files needed: faq_install.php, faq.php

Files to edit: admin/index.php, root/misc.php

Templates to edit: None.

Instructions: Upload and run faq_install.php from your admin directory. Follow the on-screen directions.

Upgrading from Stasik's hack: Upload and run faq_install.php from your admin directory and choose the option to upgrade from v2 of the hack.

Upgrading from a previous version of *this* hack (e.g. from this thread): Upload and run faq_install.php from your admin directory and choose the option to upgrade from "v3, v31, or v32" of the hack.

Please DO NOT contact me via PM, IM, email, or otherwise outside this thread about this hack.

Thanks to Stasik for the great hack!

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:

// FAQ EDIT HACK

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 * 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")."\");");
}

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...

TIA,

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

[fonzerelli_79]

the hack worked fine with me

[Lars]

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).

[christina]

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.

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

[Remi]

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

[AndyTSJ]

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
