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

Portions, including the installer, are © 2001 Kevin Schumacher.
Portions of the installer were created by Bane.

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.

Thanks to Stasik for the great hack!

I'm having a small problem. I plan on using the Referrer Link located in the FAQ. However $userid does not parse. How do I get that link to display the correct referral link?

My forum is at www.christiansurvivors.com/forums
the FAQ page is at http://www.christiansurvivors.com/fo...?s=&action=faq

Something else I noticed is that adding questions through the 'edit group' option, works fine - but using the add a question link directly from the left hand menu in user cp, it says its added the question, but it hasnt really!!

Hoping for some ideas!!
Thanks!

Find this in misc.php:

PHP Code:

$title = " > <a href='misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=faq&page=$faq[faqid]'>$faq[title]</a>"; 


replace with this:

PHP Code:

$title = " &gt; <a href='misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=faq&page=$faq[faqid]'>$faq[title]</a>";

I got it working fine. Thanks for the hack, it's just what I needed.

I can get it to update the order of the faq entries.

I get this error at the top of the page:

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /mnt/web/guide/johnsworld/www/midi/board/admin/faq.php on line 347

This hack is brilliant - I've been using it for a while now. Remember to use the HTML/ bbcode fix a couple of pages back.

I am having the same problem. I dont think I get any error, it acts as if it update the order, but the numbers and previous order stays the same.

Any ideas?

I have custom headers w/ my themes, and the FAQ button got taken out (not intentionally). How do I get it back so I can use the FAQ again? What is the url I should use for the link, and where should I put it? Back in the header where the rest of the buttons to navigate thru the rest of the site are?

For all those fighting with the faq entries and not having things like $bbtitle, { imagesfolder } and maybe even $bbuserinfo[userid] parsing or showing correctly....

I *think* I have found a solution. Determined to get this working and thinking "hey, templates come from the DB so it should work...".

Anyway, enough ranting. I did this.

in misc.php AFTER

PHP Code:

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


put

PHP Code:

      $entry[text]=addslashes($entry[text]);
      $entry[text]=str_replace("\\'","'",$entry[text]);

      eval ("\$entry[text] = \"$entry[text]\";"); 


and BINGO, all your variables will now contain a value....

Have fun. :bunny:

Download the attached text file and copy/paste over what you have in misc.php for the faq bit. The parsing code in vB is screwing up the new PHP bit.

OK slight problem I've noticed while running this hack on 2.2.7. If you look here... http://www.gamerforums.com/board/misc.php?s=&action=faq ... You'll see that the Groups have messed up HTML, the brackets e.t.c are included in the hyperlinks [look and you'll understand what I mean]. When I edit the groups, the formatting is fine - why would it be doing this? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
