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.

This release works fine for me.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

Without any information about the errors you're getting, I don't think the developer can help out.

Our site is a very technical site, so large FAQ articles are a given. Trying to edit these articles in the little bitty editor box is a bit difficult.

Also, I've put two articles under the same category. Instead of showing it like this:

Power Supplies
Power Supplies Explained
How to Pick a Power Supply

It shows up like this:

Power Supplies
Power Supplies Explained

Power Supplies
How to Pick a Power Supply

Is this by design? Is there any way I can change this? Can I change the order in which the articles are shown somehow?

There are to images and . Click on the arrow pointing downwards to make the text area larger.

It should group all the items together.

Ahh!

Thanks for that...didn't realize that's what those were for.

It should group all the items together.

It appears as if there are now two "Power Supplies" categories.

Is there a way I can delete the one that shouldn't be there? I'm not sure how it got there in the first place...

one more noteable -

When i go back to edit a FAQ that's already there, the WYSIWYG aspect of the editor is no more.

It's back to the BB/HTML tags.

Is there a reason for this that I can fix on my end perchange or is this an issue with the mod?

[RedGTiVR6]

bump!

Any way to delete categories?

[harmor19]

Click on the category's title.

[RedGTiVR6]

but if I don't have a FAQ in the category, I can't delete it...

so this means I have to create a meaningless FAQ just so I can delete the category.

What would it take to be able to see a list of categories under the "Add Category" link...where you can edit or delete the current categories?

Does this mod have permissions tied to it? I only want certain usergroups to be able to view the FAQs.

All usergroups are allowed to view the FAQ.
