Add-On Releases - Advanced FAQ

Some members are asking for a better FAQ system and I hope this is it.

You do not need to access the Administrator Control Panel to add, edit, or delete any FAQ items.
You can use vBulletin's own HTML conditionals and variables when writing your FAQ.
Advanced FAQ uses the WYSIWYG editor (Thanks to MicroHellas for the tutorial).
It parses BBCode, images, HTML, and smilies. It does not automatically add line breaks. You will need to use the break tag (br />).

/* ############### LOG ############### */
--------------------------------------------
1.0.0 - First Release
--------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------
1.0.1
In "Advanced FAQ" you can now search the FAQ items.
Please read the "install.txt" to add the Adv. FAQ menu to the navigation bar (navbar).
Click on the newly created menu to find a input box to type your search string.

It would be great so i could still keep using the default faq.php, it has a search engine, plus its the default file for the faqs.

Any way on hacking this around so we can do the same, thru the default faq page? this way its useless IMO

Sorry, but why not use the vb default faq system? It will be nice, use the default faq system, and plus WYSIWYG editor.

apart from that, nice work.

you can use BB code, thats the whole point of the WYSIWYG editor. you can use if conditions too.

It was easier for me to code it from scratch.

Nice hack! I've been needing a good FAQ system for my site.

Very nice. This is much more than just a faq. It can be used to categorize anything. It would be nice if we could also subcategorize.

[projectego]

Very, very nice hack! I could definitely use something like this on one of my boards. Cheers!

This hack works perfectly and it's very practical. Good & great work, harmor

Just two problem : when i add a category and a FAQ, title is "Uncategorized" but it's not important.
And when you add a FAQ, you must use "<br />" to cross a line.

The only items under the "Uncategorized" title should be FAQ items that were in a category you've deleted. Walk me through your process so I can recreate the problem.

The reason you must use "<br />" instead of having it automatically add line breaks is presentation.

PHP Code:

<if condition="!$bbuserinfo[userid]">
Guests
</if> 


If line breaks were created automatically you'd have a break before "Guests" because of the conditional.


On a side note... Do you like how it automatically redirects to the form to add a FAQ item after adding a new category?
